A 25-year-long journey into interventional cardiology: looking back, and rushing forward.
Cardiovascular disease remains decade after decade a leading cause of mortality, morbidity and resource use globally as well as locally. We have had the opportunity of being involved in several iterative breakthroughs in invasive cardiovascular procedures, ranging from the advent of coronary stents to transcatheter mitral valve repair. Building up such extensive clinical and research experience, we hereby present 25 years of cardiovascular interventions at Pineta Grande Hospital and Casa di Salute S. ⋯ Furthermore, this overview scrutinizes procedural challenges, patient outcomes, and quality of life improvements, providing a rich tapestry of clinical experiences and research insights. It serves as a testament to the dynamic nature of interventional cardiology, offering a forward-looking perspective on future trends and technologies. We hope that this overview will prove an informative and insightful read for those seeking to understand the intricate journey of invasive cardiovascular care over the past decades and its trajectory into the future.
