title: [Interventional or conservative approaches in acute coronary syndromes].
abstract: The past decade has witnessed a dramatic expansion in the scope of both mechanical and pharmacologic methods for treating patients with acute coronary syndromes. New device technologies, such as intracoronary stenting, more potent and more fibrin-specific thrombolytic agents, and new antithrombotic and antiplatelet drugs are now available. What is the best strategy to treat patients with acute coronary syndromes still remains a matter of debate. This article briefly reviews this topic.
