Implication
Supports individualized PCI decisions in nonagenarians with stable angina but caution in ACS; leaves open need for prospective confirmation.
Structured PICO
Do nonagenarians undergoing PCI have similar clinical outcomes compared to patients younger than 90 years?
P
Population
Nonagenarians (patients aged 90 years or older) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable angina (SA) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
I
Intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
C
Comparator
Patients younger than 90 years undergoing PCI
O
Outcome
Clinical outcomes
PCI in nonagenarians appears to have comparable outcomes to younger patients when performed for stable angina, but carries higher risk in the setting of acute coronary syndrome.
