Key result
Percutaneous coronary intervention in young patients aged ≤40 years demonstrated high angiographic complexity but maintained low in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular event rates across a 10-year period.
Why the study?
The prevalence and characteristics of coronary artery disease and PCI in young patients aged 40 years or younger are not well established.
Cross-Sectional (n=2,806)
Yes
This study provides real-world data on the profile of young patients (≤40 years) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in Brazil.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
PCI appears safe short-term in young patients despite complex lesions; extends real-world data but leaves open long-term outcomes and management.

Paixão et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=2,806). Percutaneous coronary intervention vs. Temporal periods (2006-2008, 2009-2011, 2012-2016) was evaluated on In-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (p=0.2671). Percutaneous coronary intervention in young patients aged ≤40 years demonstrated high angiographic complexity but maintained low in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular event rates across a 10-year period.
