Abstract
Dr. Gruntzig et al. (1979) successfully completed the world's first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), in 1977. The first reported PTCA in China was in 1984. With the development of PCI techniques, while more and more patients have benefited, there are ongoing challenges as well.
