https://e-kcj.org Cardiovascular mortality decreased dramatically in recent years. Remarkable progress has been made in cardiovascular medicine. The development and progress of myocardial revascularization therapy such as coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is another important contributing factor.1) PCI improves quality of life and, in the case of acute coronary syndromes, improving survival free from myocardial infarction, in the case of ST-elevated myocardial infarction, reducing mortality. However, a considerable number of patients experienced recurrence of cardiovascular events after PCI and were hospitalized, which resulted in the increase of overall medical expenses.2)
