Highlights the theoretical benefit of coronary balloon angioplasty in sealing unstable plaques to prevent myocardial infarction, beyond just alleviating angina.
Bernhard Meier (2004) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Coronary balloon angioplasty was evaluated. The concept of plaque sealing by coronary balloon angioplasty to prevent myocardial infarction remains theoretically appealing but lacks documentation of clinical benefit.
