After explaining the characteristics and risk factors of ischemic heart disease and both forms of coronary syndromes dealt with daily in the hemodynamics ward, Dr. Francesco Greco explores one of the most recent and interesting aspects in the treatment of coronary angioplasty : the use of medicated ( or drug-eluting ) balloons.
