[ESC guidelines 2019 on chronic coronary syndrome (CCS, previously "stable coronary artery disease") : What is new? What is particularly important?]

abstract：:According to the current guidelines coronary revascularization in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is primarily performed by percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However, in several scenarios like complex coronary pathologies, unsuccessful PCI, complicated PCI or cardiogenic shock, surgical coronary revascularizat...
