The existing treatment is medical, surgical or a combination of both depending on the extent, severity and clinical presentation of CAD & .There has been significant progress made in developing novel strategies for patients suffering from CAD and its associated complications. These strategies have ranged from drugs to robotic surgery to nanotechnology.
