Key result
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction patients aged ≥75 years showed comparable one-year major adverse cardiac events to those <75 years (31.4% vs 36.9%, p=NS).

Does primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction in patients older than 75 years yield comparable clinical outcomes to younger patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 31.4% vs 36.9%
p-value: p=NS
Primary PCI in AMI patients older than 75 years can be performed with procedural success rates and long-term clinical outcomes comparable to those of younger patients.
Lim et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=223). Age ≥75 years vs. Age <75 years was evaluated on Major adverse cardiac events (p=NS). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction patients aged ≥75 years showed comparable one-year major adverse cardiac events to those <75 years (31.4% vs 36.9%, p=NS).
