Dear Colleagues,

Recently, there has been rapid progress in the device and strategies for the treatment of coronary artery disease. The complex coronary artery diseases represent the challenging in the interventional cardiologists.  Advanced techniques have changed our way of thinking about indications for coronary revascularization. In addition, the large sharing of operator experiences with several studies and international conferences, growing the operator skills advancing the limits of successful percutaneous procedures. These have also reduced the failure of percutaneous revascularization procedures, resulting in improved patient outcomes. Not least, the important knowledge about pharmacotherapy pathways in patients with coronary artery disease helped to solidify these results in short and long terms outcomes. In light of this evidences born the importance to share the investigation results on the treatment of complex coronary artery disease scenario to improve the revascularization and clinical outcomes.

I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on “Advanced Techniques for the Treatment of complex Coronary Artery Disease”. The aim is to present original research clinical studies as well as state-of-the-art reviews focused on complex coronary artery disease treatment.

We are mostly focused on invasive strategies, dedicated devices and pharmacotherapy for the coronary revascularization in complex scenario with percutaneous coronary interventions.
