[The best of interventional cardiology in 2004].
During 2004 the evolution of interventional cardiology has been largely dominated by the expansion of activated endoprostheses, whose advantages have been continuously shown in several studies and surveys. The extension of new indications and the evaluation of new drugs have been witnessed. A new field of converging interest has appeared with the very promising treatment for valvulopathies, in particular mitral insufficiency and calcified aortic stenosis.
