Innovations in interventional cardiology: Pioneering techniques for a new era

Curr Probl Cardiol. 2024 Dec;49(12):102836. doi: 10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2024.102836. Epub 2024 Sep 4.

Abstract

Interventional cardiology is on the cusp of a significant transformation as we approach 2050, driven by emerging trends and groundbreaking technological innovations. This mini review explores the pivotal developments shaping the field, focusing on three key areas: Emerging Trends in Interventional Cardiology, Technological Innovations: The Next Frontier, and the Future Era of Intervention Cardiology from 2024 to 2050. Emerging trends, including advancements in imaging and artificial intelligence, are revolutionizing diagnosis and treatment, allowing for more precise and personalized interventions. Technological innovations, such as robotic-assisted procedures and bioresorbable stents, are redefining the landscape, enhancing procedural accuracy, and expanding access to care through remote interventions. Looking ahead to 2050, we anticipate a future where interventional cardiology is increasingly driven by minimally invasive techniques, AI-driven decision-making, and personalized medicine, offering unprecedented improvements in patient outcomes and reshaping the way cardiovascular diseases are managed.

Keywords: Bioresorbable stents; Cardiovascular diseases; Imaging and artificial intelligence; Interventional cardiology; Personalized medicine.
