Much attention has been lately focused on the importance of using ever-increasing less invasive approaches to treat heart diseases. In view of PCI being an off-pump procedure, it is imperative that we increase our understanding of it, by studying the correct meta-analyses designed for this purpose. In addition, it is almost inevitable that in an era of reliance on technology as an important adjunct as trouble shooter, coupled with any potential bias, that there is a need to examine a comprehensive view of the new 2021 ACC/AHA/SCAI Guideline for Coronary Artery Revascularization.
Every effort should be made to fully consider all the implications and effects of the several Classes of Recommendation (COR) contained in this new Guideline. The magnitude of change in the use of this kind of technology, such as PCI recommended by this Guideline, will set a pattern for the manner in which coronary artery disease (CAD) will be approached in the upcoming years.
