Key result
PCI shows similar long-term NACE rates across stable CAD, NSTEMI, and STEMI in nonagenarians.
Why the study?
There is a paucity of data among nonagenarians undergoing PCI, motivating the description of outcomes in this population.
Comparison
Clinical settings: stable angina or silent ischemia vs unstable angina or non-ST elevation MI vs STEMI
Design
Retrospective multicenter observational study
Follow-up
Median 24 months

PCI feasible in selected nonagenarians; leaves open optimal selection and need for prospective trials.

Sillano et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Coronary disease (n=146). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation vs. Comparison by clinical setting (stable angina vs NSTEMI vs STEMI) was evaluated on Long-term rate of net adverse cardiac events (NACE: death, MI, target lesion revascularization, and life-threatening or major bleedings) (p=0.32). In nonagenarians undergoing PCI, long-term NACE occurred in 33.3% of stable patients, 49.3% of NSTEMI patients, and 50% of STEMI patients (P=0.32).
