Influence of age on the outcomes of percutaneous and surgical treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease patients:Results from the Multicentre Randomized Arterial Revascularization Therapy Study
Key Points
Older patients showed differing outcomes after percutaneous versus surgical treatment.
In-hospital outcomes varied significantly between age groups, specifically in older patients.
Analysis of data from the Multicentre Randomized Arterial Revascularization Therapy Study was performed.
Implications suggest age may be a critical factor in treatment decision-making for coronary artery disease.
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the in-hospital and late outcome of older patients enrolled in the ARTS trial according to age.
