Interventional case report of mechanical circulatory support to treat acute myocardial infarction in very elderly patients, indicating new care standards.
Interventional treatment of very elderly patients with severe coronary artery disease is currently one of the central topics in interventional cardiology. Technological progress and increased life expectancy have made these patients appropriate candidates for contemporary standards of care, especially those with an active lifestyle. We hereby report the case of a 95-year-old patient hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction, who underwent a complex percutaneous coronary intervention with mechanical circulatory support. A literature review on mechanical circulatory support devices in older adults is also provided.
