[Myocardial ischemia in general medicine and the revolution of coronary stents].

Since Gruentizg's first percutaneous transluminal ballon angioplasty in 1977 in Zurich, percuta. neous coronary intervention evolved significantly in order to overcome the numerous associated complications of each technique. Bare-metal stents (BMS) made their initial appearance followed by three generations of drug-eluting stents (DES). The use of bioabsorbable vascular scaffold stents (BVS) has become more frequent creating a temporary scaffold allowing healing of the endothelium within 2 years. In this article, we discuss the nomenclature of the main intravascular complications linked to percuta. neous coronary intervention such as stent thrombosis (ST), Instent restenosis (ISR), neoatherosclerosis, and stents evolution to overcome these complications. We will finally mention the new technologies of intracoronary imaging such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) having an increasing vital role in percutaneous coronary intervention,
