Among these are the development and in 1987 the first human use of a coronary stent in this country completion of a large randomized trial of angioplasty compared to surgery in patients with multiple coronary artery narrowings and the initial human experience with Beta radiation in the prevention of restenosis renarrowing after coronary angioplasty. 1986 coronary atherectomy devices are introduced. Coronary artery disease CAD is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide accounting for approximately one third of all deaths over the age of 35 1In the 1960s with the advent of open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass this allowed physicians to surgically treat CAD via coronary artery bypass grafting CABG.
