The elderly population is increasing and has a high cardiovascular risk. This population has been systematically excluded from the clinical trials to the point that the evidence on what the best treatment is remains unknow to this date. We analyzed data from 63 consecutive patients > 85 years treated with percutaneous coronary intervention to assess the results of patients who were offered percutaneous treatment for the management of their symptomatic coronary artery disease. They were categorized into 3 clinical groups (unstable angina, NSTEMI or STEMI) and follow-up was divided into 2 groups (hospitalization after 1 month or after 1 year). The patients’ mean age was 87.54 years (85 to 99), 66.7% were women, and 33.3% were men. A total of 33.3% presented with STEMI, 38% with NSTEMI, and 28.7% with unstable angina.On average, a total of 1.29 PCIs were performed (a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4) and 1.21 stents being implanted (a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 3). Radial access was used in 36% of the patients.Procedural complications were AKI (24%). A total of 2% of the patients required dialysis, 12% had major bleeding, and 5% perioperative AMI. No strokes were reported. The overall in-hospital cardiovascular mortality rate was 17% at the 1-month follow-up (being 5%, 13%, and 33% respectively for unstable angina, NSTEMI or STEMI, respectively), and 20% at 1 year. The mean hospital stay was 5.44 days (a minimum of 0 days and a maximum of 41 days).
