  • Article: Short- and long-term outcomes in octogenarians undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Aims: To investigate the incidence of cardiac events in octogenarians who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting, as well as to evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting stents (DES) in this population. Methods and results: The study included 6,129 consecutive patients who underwent PCI with stenting from 2000 to 2005 in our centre, of whom 291 (4.7%) were octogenarians. After adjusting for confounders, age ≥80 years appeared a significant predictor of high mortality at 30 days (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.92, 95% CI 1.23-3.01), and four years (aHR 2.25, 95% CI 1.77-2.85). No differences were seen with respect to incident myocardial infarction (MI), but target lesion (63.2 vs. 32.6 per 1,000 person-years at one year and 27.9 vs. 16.6 per 1,000 person-years at four years) and vessel (83.1 vs. 52.9 per 1,000 person-years at one year and 37.7 vs. 25.0 per 1,000 person-years at four years) revascularisation rates were lower in octogenarians. When comparing DES with bare metal stents (BMS) in octogenarians, mortality and MI rates were comparable, but there was a significantly lower incidence of target lesion revascularisation at one- (9.5 vs. 0.6 per 1,000 person-years, aHR 0.07, 95% CI 0.01-0.57) and four-year (3.4 vs. 0.7 per 1,000 person-years, aHR 0.16, 95% CI 0.04-0.59) follow-up in patients who received a DES. Conclusions: Octogenarians undergoing PCI with stenting have an increased mortality risk, whereas the rates of repeat revascularisation in octogenarians are lower. This study suggests that the benefit of DES in reducing revascularisation rates is extended to elderly patients.

  • Article: Short- and long-term major adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting for acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: To determine the risk of short- and long-term mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) in the contemporary practice of primary percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting. Of the 1,755 consecutive AMI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting enrolled, 103 had CS at admission. Primary endpoints were early mortality (within 30 days after the index event) and late mortality (from day 31 up to 4 years). Secondary endpoints included MACE [all-cause death, myocardial infarction or target vessel revascularization (TVR)], myocardial infarction, TVR and stent thrombosis. Thirty-day mortality was higher among CS patients, and CS was a strong independent predictor of a higher risk of early death (adjusted HR 3.64, 95% CI 2.44-5.44). The late mortality rate was significantly higher in CS patients, and CS was also a predictor of higher risk of death at a 4-year follow-up (adjusted HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.11-3.45). Recurrent AMI, TVR and stent thrombosis rates were similar among patients with and without CS. CS complicating AMI is still a severe clinical event, mainly with regard to a significant higher risk of early mortality, but also associated with a worse prognosis in 30-day survivors.
