[The best of interventional cardiology in 2005].
During 2005, the evolution of interventional cardiology has largely been dominated by the trial of active endoprostheses, whose advantage has been consistently shown by various studies, mete-analyses and surveys. Extending their use to new indications and evaluating new drugs have also been studied. In parallel, clinical trials have been performed in the promising field of percutaneous treatment of valvular heart disease, particularly mitral insufficiency and calcified aortic stenosis in the adult.
