Coronary interventions are procedures to treat coronary artery disease, where blocked arteries limit blood flow to the heart. The most common method is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which includes angioplasty and stent placement to reopen arteries. These procedures can relieve symptoms like chest pain and enhance quality of life. For severe blockages, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) creates a bypass using vessels from elsewhere in the body. Technological advances have improved the safety and effectiveness of these interventions, leading to shorter recovery times and fewer complications.

However, lifestyle changes and medications remain crucial in managing coronary artery disease post-intervention. Ongoing research aims to enhance techniques and explore new therapies, such as bioresorbable stents and gene therapy, to further improve outcomes for patients.
