In-hospital and long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion in elderly patients: A consecutive, prospective, single-centre study

Abstract: Elderly patients have more complex coronary disease and are at a higher risk of postoperative complications. Nevertheless, we observed a similar success rate for CTO-PCI in elderly patients as for younger patients. Successful CTO recanalization improved the event-free survival rate at 20 months. Thus, CTO-PCI constitutes an alternative strategy for treating selected elderly patients.

“…Older age was the most important predictor for complications in our study: the incidence of complications was 7% in patients aged >75 years versus 4% in patients aged 66 to 75 years versus 1% in patients aged ≤65 years (P<0.001). This finding is consistent with prior studies 10,23,24 and is likely related to more complex coronary anatomy with increasing age, higher prevalence of tortuosity and calcification, higher prevalence of prior CABG, and possibly lower tolerance to inadvertent guidewire exits. Older patients are more likely to have diffuse aortic atheroma, predisposing them to strokes during coronary intervention.…”

“…[10] Emergency procedure was reported to be an independent risk factor of CI-AKI, and CI-AKI rate in emergency PCI patients is significantly higher than in those undergoing selective intervention. [1112] However, previous studies of CI-AKI were mostly based on data from selective cases. To those undergoing emergency PCI, the estimation of the risk of CI-AKI is always limited for being pressed for time after admission, and so far, the risk factor profile of CI-AKI in emergency PCI patients is still unclear and needed to investigate.…”

“…3 Recent studies indicate that older patients could, paradoxically, benefit more from appropriate interventional revascularization than their younger counterparts. 5 Even in the case of chronic total occlusions (CTOs), which are present in more than 30% of older patients with myocardial ischemia, 6 PCI can be considered as a valid option. 7 Historically, however, CABG or medical therapy (MT) was the preferred treatments for CTO 8 and despite the more extended use of PCI, there is still a lack of evidence regarding its effectiveness in older patients, compared to these traditional options.…”
