Advancements in coronary revascularization techniques are revolutionizing the management of patients with high-risk coronary artery disease. These include both percutaneous and surgical approaches tailored to the complexity of these challenging cases. Focus has been directed towards innovative approaches like hybrid revascularization strategies, robot-assisted procedures, and advanced imaging modalities. These technological advancements hold the potential to significantly enhance preoperative planning and intraoperative precision, thereby improving patient outcomes.

This Research Topic investigates the latest advancements in surgical and percutaneous techniques aimed at improving outcomes for patients undergoing high-risk coronary revascularization. A particular focus is being given to high-risk cases deemed not suitable for surgical revascularisation, to analyse whether and how percutaneous techniques may offer better outcomes.

To gather further insights into this rapidly advancing field, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

o High-risk, but indicated percutaneous coronary intervention cases

o High-risk percutaneous coronary intervention in patients deemed not suitable for surgical revascularisation

o High-risk cases with chronic total occlusion involvement

o Evaluation of hybrid revascularization strategies and their clinical effectiveness.

o Integration and outcomes of robot-assisted techniques in coronary revascularization.

o Role of advanced imaging technologies in enhancing surgical planning and execution.

o Comparative studies of innovative versus traditional revascularization approaches.

o Recovery outcomes and quality of life improvements following advanced revascularization techniques.

The goal of this Research Topic is to shed light on cutting-edge advancements in coronary revascularization, promoting a deeper understanding of how these innovations can optimize patient care and outcomes in high-risk populations.
