Why the study?
PCI techniques have evolved over the last decade, but data on recent trends among high-risk groups, particularly patients with prior CABG, remain limited.
Does percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over time (2016-2020) improve clinical outcomes in older ACS patients with a history of CABG?
Population
94,610 ACS patients aged 65 and older with prior CABG undergoing PCI
Comparison
Temporal trends from 2016 to 2020
Design
Retrospective database study of the National Inpatient Sample

No mortality benefit seen with contemporary practices; leaves open net value of rising Impella use in older post-CABG ACS.
Does percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over time (2016-2020) improve clinical outcomes in older ACS patients with a history of CABG?
In older ACS patients with prior CABG undergoing PCI, bleeding complications have decreased and Impella use has increased from 2016 to 2020, though mortality remains unchanged.
