Predicting Early and Intermediate-Term Outcome of Coronary Angioplast in the Elderly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background. Although the technical success rate of coronary angioplasty in the elderly is high, very old patients have increased risk of procedure-related death and late recurrence of severe angina. We proposed to determine baseline variables that predict early and intermediate-term failure of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients more than 65 so we could effectively stratify risk. Methods and Results. We studied 982 patients at least 65 years old who had urgent or elective PTCA (1980 through 1990). Follow-up (mean, 25 months) was obtained for all patients. Multiple baseline variables

متن کاملThe Relation of Serum Bilirubin Level with the Severity and Complexity of Coronary Artery Disease and Long-term Outcomes in the Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Background and Aims: Bilirubin has been considered an antioxidant that protects against atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of serum bilirubin level with the severity and complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and long-term outcome in the patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Materials and Methods: This prospective coho...
متن کاملEffects of Seasonal Variations on the Outcome of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Background: For all the reports on the association between seasons and coronary artery disease, there is a paucity of information on the possible effects of seasonal variations on the outcome of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). The aim of this study was to assess the short-term outcome of post-CABG patients in the four different seasons to find any correlation betw...
