Abstract
INTRODUCTION As the primary cause of morbidity and mortality among older individuals, cardiovascular disease remains a major concern. Choosing between revascularization and medical management of elderly patients remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the clinical implications of these treatment approaches in the context of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in octogenarian patients. METHODS This observational cohort study involved 41 octogenarian patients who were diagnosed with NSTEMI from 2019 to 2021 and were managed by revascularization (with either percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or both) or conservative medical therapy. All NSTEMI patients were diagnosed based on symptoms, electrocardiographic changes, and cardiac biomarkers. The study compared the short- and long-term outcomes of 13 patients in the revascularization group and 28 in the medical therapy group. RESULTS Overall, the mean patient age was 84.63 years. Eighteen patients were men (43.9%), and 23 were women (56.1%). The most prevalent disease among the sample was hypertension (34 patients, 82.9%), followed by diabetes mellitus (27 patients, 65.9%) and prior ischemic heart disease (21 patients, 51.2%). Almost all patients in the revascularization-treated group developed complications after the procedure (84.6%), while 46.4% of the patients in the medication-only group developed a complication later on. The revascularization-treated group showed higher mortality rates in both the short- and long-term (23.1% and 38.5%, respectively) compared to the medication-only group, which showed better survival rates numerically in both the short- and long-term (14.3% and 32.1%, respectively). This was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION Revascularization treatment in elderly patients with NSTEMI was associated with a higher risk of complications and a higher mortality rate compared with conservative medical management. Patients managed with only medications had a better survival rate in both the short- and long-term.

Optimal medical therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention in very elderly patients with coronary artery disease. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY. CARDIOVASCULAR RISK AND PREVENTION 2022; 16:200162. [PMID: 36506909 PMCID: PMC9731838 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcrp.2022.200162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still unclear whether optimal medical therapy (OMT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has beneficial effects on long-term clinical outcomes in patients aged ≥80 years with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS This study analyzed the time to the first major adverse clinical event including death or nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), for up to 3 years after PCI using multicenter registry data. Data for 1056 patients aged > 80 years successfully treated with PCI were included in the analysis. OMT was defined as a combination of antiplatelet drug, statin, beta-blocker, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker. RESULTS In total, 204 (19%) patients in this study received OMT and 852 (81%) received sub-OMT. During a median follow-up of 725 days, adverse clinical events occurred in 183 patients (death, n=177; nonfatal MI, n=6). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients who received OMT had a lower probability of adverse clinical events than those who received sub-OMT (p<0.01, log-rank test). Propensity score matching yielded 202 patient-pairs treated with OMT or sub-OMT, in whom 64 adverse clinical events (death, n=56, nonfatal MI, n=4) occurred during follow-up. OMT remained significant in the reduction of the risk of adverse clinical events in a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio 0.44; 95% confidence interval 0.26-0.75; p=0.003). CONCLUSIONS OMT after PCI was associated with significantly fewer adverse clinical events, including all-cause death and nonfatal MI, in patients aged ≥ 80 years with CAD. OMT might be safe and effective for these very elderly patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the risks, outcomes, and trends in patients older than 80 years undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS We retrospectively studied 1283 consecutive patients who were older than 80 years and underwent primary isolated CABG from January 1, 1993, to October 31, 2019, in our clinic. Kaplan-Meier survival probability and quartile estimates were used to analyze patients' survival. Logistic regression models were used for analyzing temporal trends in CABG cases and outcomes. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model was developed to study risk factors for mortality. RESULTS Operative mortality was overall 4% (n=51) but showed a significant decrease during the study period (P=.015). Median follow-up was 16.7 (interquartile range, 10.3-21.1) years, and Kaplan-Meier estimated survival rates at 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, and 15 years were 90.2%, 67.9%, 31.1%, and 8.2%, respectively. Median survival time was 7.6 years compared with 6.0 years for age- and sex-matched octogenarians in the general US population (P<.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified older age (P<.001), recent atrial fibrillation or flutter (P<.001), diabetes mellitus (P<.001), smoking history (P=.006), cerebrovascular disease (P=.04), immunosuppressive status (P=.01), extreme levels of creatinine (P<.001), chronic lung disease (P=.02), peripheral vascular disease (P=.02), decreased ejection fraction (P=.03) and increased Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk score (P=.01) as significant risk factors of mortality. CONCLUSION Although CABG in octogenarians carries a higher surgical risk, it may be associated with favorable outcomes and increase in long-term survival. Further studies are warranted to define subgroups benefiting more from surgical revascularization.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to compare outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTO) in the elderly (≥75 years) versus nonelderly and assess the impact of successful CTO‐PCI in the elderly. Methods PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to October 1, 2020. Mortality rates and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were compared between elderly and nonelderly patients and successful versus failed CTO‐PCI in the elderly. Results Eight studies were included. Meta‐analysis indicated no statistically significant difference in the risk of in‐hospital mortality (RR: 1.97 95% CI: 0.78, 4.96 I2 = 0% p = .15) but higher tendency of in‐hospital MACE (RR: 2.30 95% CI: 0.99, 5.35 I2 = 49% p = .05) in the elderly group. Risk of long‐term mortality (RR: 3.79 95% CI: 2.84, 5.04 I2 = 41% p < .00001) and long‐term MACE (RR: 1.53 95% CI: 1.14, 2.04 I2 = 80% p = .004) were significantly increased in the elderly versus nonelderly. Elderly patients had a significantly reduced odds of successful PCI as compared to nonelderly patients (OR: 0.63 95% CI: 0.54, 0.73 I2 = 1% p < .00001). Successful CTO‐PCI was associated with reduction in long‐term mortality (HR: 0.51 95% CI: 0.34, 0.77 I2 = 27% p = .001) and MACE (HR: 0.60 95% CI: 0.37, 0.97 I2 = 53% p = .04) as compared to failed PCI in elderly. Conclusions Elderly patients may have a tendency of higher in‐hospital MACE with significantly increased long‐term mortality and MACE after CTO‐PCI. The success of PCI is significantly lower in the elderly. In elderly patients with successful PCI, the risk of long‐term mortality and MACE is significantly reduced.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multimorbidity in elderly patients increases complications and retards the recovery of pulmonary function after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. We aimed to evaluate the impact of multiple-intervention pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on respiratory muscle strength and dyspnea scores after CABG in adult patients aged ≥65 years who had multimorbidity. METHODS A cohort study was retrospectively conducted with 95 adults aged ≥65 years who underwent CABG surgery and completed a multiple-intervention PR program. RESULTS Patients in the non-multimorbidity (n = 56) and multimorbidity groups (n = 39) were evaluated on the basis of their muscle strength, degree of dyspnea, and pulmonary function. Postoperative complications were compared after the completion of PR. Between extubation days 1 and 14, the multimorbidity group showed significant improvements in maximal inspiratory pressure (16.91 vs. 24.95 cmH2O, P < 0.001), Borg Scale score (0.99 vs. 2.3, P < 0.001), and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC ratio) of 7.02% vs. 13.4% (P = 0.01). The incidence rates of pulmonary complications were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Multi-interventional PR program significantly improved the maximal inspiratory pressure, Borg scale score, and FEV1/FVC ratio in the adult patients aged ≥65 years who had multimorbidity after undergoing CABG surgery.

Abstract
The proportion of the elderly in the total population of the world is growing, and the number of elderly patients with coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) is huge. The elderly patients often have more extensive coronary artery disease, more severe ischemic burden and higher risk of cardiovascular events, as compared to younger patients, and thereby they might greatly benefit from coronary revascularization, even though they may have higher risk of operative complications. Most interventional cardiologists are more likely to be reluctant to operate complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in elderly patients. The latest refinements in dedicated CTO-PCI equipment and techniques have led to high rates of success and low complications rates and have made the CTO-PCI procedures safe and effective among the elderly patients. However, up to now, there is no widely recognized consensus or guideline on treatment strategy of elderly CTO patients, and the prognosis in this population is unknown. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the current evidence and future perspectives on PCI in elderly patients with CTOs.

Abstract
The choice of revascularization of coronary patients, if it is well codified in the general population, remains in the elderly subject a daily dilemma for the clinician. We report 4 clinical cases (80 years and over) elective for coronary artery bypass or percutaneous coronary transluminal angioplasty (PTCA). No randomized studies dedicated to this population are available. Nevertheless, according to the registries, surgery versus PTCA has a superior benefit in the medium and long term, despite higher mortality and stroke. The coronary lesions in this population are actually more complex, usually leading to surgery compared to a younger population. However, the choice of the revascularization method is difficult depending on the co-morbidities and the higher surgical risk. What must be taken into account here are the cognitive abilities, the risk of cognitive decline, the frailty of the patient (correlated with mortality), frailty being a subjective data given without a consensually recognized scoring system. The indication of the revascularization method should include mortality risks as well as morbidity, in particular the potential risk of deterioration of the general condition and autonomy of patients, particularly the elderly. Randomized studies dedicated to this population, taking into account mortality and morbidity, and in particular the "concept of frailty", would make it possible to describe the specificities of aging subjects in recommendations and good practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are increasingly used in daily clinical practice in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) despite limited evidence. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of PCI on short and long term survivals in a large cohort of elderly patients with ACS from a "real world". METHODS We enrolled 491 patients aged ≥70 years admitted to our institution with ACS from 2006 to 2012. Effect of PCI on short and long term survival was evaluated in both overall and a propensity score-matched cohort. RESULTS The mean age of the overall cohort is 83 ± 6 years. Among them, 285 were treated with PCI, whereas 206 were not. Patients treated with PCI were younger (82 ± 5 vs. 85 ± 6), more males (67% vs. 46%), with lower heart rate (77 ± 22 vs. 84 ± 21), higher eGFR (58 ± 20 vs. 47 ± 23), and less with heart failure (29% vs. 15%) (all p < 0.001). In both overall and propensity-matched population, improved survival was associated with PCI-treatment at 1 and 3 years (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Furthermore, by using multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model following factors were identified as independent predictors of 3-year all-cause mortality: age (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.00-1.16), heart rate (HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01-1.03), eGFR (HR 3.07, 95% CI 1.63-5.77), malignancy (HR 2.03, 95% CI 1.27-4.57), prior CABG (HR 2.033, 95% CI 1.27-4.57), medication with statin (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.19-0.86) in PCI group, whereas age (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.13), heart rate (HR 1.01, 95% CI 1.01-1.02), hypertension (HR 1.87, 95% CI 1.01-3.49) and using of ACEI/ARB (HR 0.46, 95% CI 0.28-0.76) in non-PCI group. CONCLUSIONS In elderly ACS patients, PCI-treatment was associated with improved 1 and 3-year survival and PCI-treated patients had different prognostic profile compared to those without PCI treatment.

Elevated IL-27 in patients with acute coronary syndrome is associated with adverse ventricular remodeling and increased risk of recurrent myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. Cytokine 2018; 122:154208.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS IL-27 is an immunoregulatory cytokine belonging to the IL-6/IL-12 family that was found to be elevated in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. We investigated whether IL-27 is related to post-ischemic cardiac remodeling and long-term prognosis in this patient group. METHODS We included 524 ACS patients, defined as acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or unstable angina (UA). A subgroup of 107 patients donated blood samples 6 weeks after the index event, and underwent a follow-up echocardiographical examination at 1 year. We measured plasma levels of IL-27, high sensitivity troponin T (hsTNT), C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and cystatin C at baseline and in the 6-week samples. The median follow-up period of the cohort was 2.2 years. RESULTS The incidence of the combined end-point of AMI and cardiovascular death was higher in patients with plasma IL-27 within the top two tertiles both at baseline and after 6 weeks. After correction for cardiovascular risk factors, medication, hsTNT, hsCRP, and eGFR, patients with baseline IL-27 levels within the highest tertile had a significantly elevated risk for the combined end-point compared with the lowest tertile (hazard ratio 2.70, 95% CI 1.06-6.90, p = .038). Additionally, higher baseline IL-27 levels were associated with deleterious left ventricular remodeling and deterioration of systolic and diastolic function during the first year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Elevated IL-27 at the time of an ACS is independently related to impaired cardiac function and worse long-term prognosis. Our data warrants further mechanistic studies to elucidate the involvement of IL-27 in cardiac repair and remodeling after ACS.

Abstract
Revascularization of severe left main and multivessel coronary artery disease has been shown to improve survival in both stable ischemic heart disease and acute coronary syndrome. While revascularization with coronary artery bypass surgery for these disease entities carries class I recommendation in most current guidelines, recent trials has shown potential comparable survival and cardiovascular outcomes between percutaneous and surgical interventions in patients with less complex coronary anatomy. Despite the conflicting results observed in the most recent left main revascularization trials, Everolimus-Eluting Stents or Bypass Surgery for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease (EXCEL) and Nordic-Baltic-British left main revascularization (NOBLE), both treatment strategies remain important for the management of left main disease (LMD) and multivessel disease (MVD) reflecting on the importance of heart team discussion. This review is focused on revascularization of LMD and MVD in patients who are not presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, encompassing the evidence from historic and contemporary trials which shaped up current practices. This review discusses the heart team approach to guide decision making, including special populations that are not represented in clinical trials.

Abstract
Background The data on long-term outcomes for elderly patients with coronary artery disease who undergo invasive treatment is limited. This study aimed to assess long-term outcomes and risk factors for patients over 80 years of age who underwent revascularisation. Methods This single-centre retrospective study included ≥80-year-old patients who underwent coronary angiography between 2012 and 2014. Among 590 study patients, 411 patients had significant angiographic changes and had either a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) performed. Baseline patient characteristics, including demographics, comorbidities, survival to hospital discharge, and long term mortality were analysed. Three-year mortality was assessed. Results Three hundred sixty-nine (89.8%) patients underwent PCI and in 42 (10.2%) CABG was performed. Significant differences between groups were detected in heart failure (PCI - 51.2% vs. CABG - 78.6%; p = 0.001), previous CABG (11.4% vs. 0%; p = 0.014), cardiogenic shock (12.2% vs. 0%; p = 0.008). Hospital mortality rate in the PCI group - 10.6%, CABG - 7.1%; p = 0.787. A median 3-year survival rate in the PCI group - 66.1%, CABG - 66.7%; p = 1.000. Chronic heart failure (OR 2.442; 95% CI: 1.530-3.898, p < 0.001), atrial fibrillation (OR 0.425; 95% CI: 0.261-0.692, p < 0.001), cardiogenic shock (OR 0.120; 95% CI: 0.054-0.270, p = 0.001), and LMCA stenosis (OR 2.104; 95% CI: 1.281-3.456, p = 0.003) were identified as independent 3-year all-cause mortality predictors in multivariate regression analysis. Conclusions There was no significant difference in hospital mortality and survival rates between elderly patients who underwent PCI or CAGB. The majority of elderly patients underwent a PCI and these patients appeared to experience cardiogenic shock more frequently.

Abstract
Although improved long-term outcomes obtained with the use of arterial grafts for coronary revascularization in comparison with the traditional association of a single arterial and saphenous vein grafts have been demonstrated in the overall population, the efficacy of this newer technique in the elderly is difficult to prove because their shorter life expectancy due to advanced heart disease, associated with severe comorbidities. Moreover, more widespread use of this technique is limited by the concerns on the potential morbidity, particularly the longer time required to perform the operation and the possibility of deep sternal wound infection in case of bilateral internal thoracic artery harvesting due to the decreased blood supply to the sternum and surrounding tissues.The review of the recent literature indicates that the use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries in very elderly patients should not be considered routinely. It seems reasonable to avoid it in octogenarians in the presence of well-known predictors of sternal complications such as diabetes, morbid obesity, and severe chronic lung disease.There is also still controversy about the superiority of the radial artery over the saphenous vein graft as a second or third conduit for surgical myocardial revascularization, although the majority of recent studies seem to support more liberal use of the radial artery as second arterial conduit in the elderly. Although a clinical benefit of arterial graft revascularization cannot be formally excluded for elderly patients, the increased complexity of this technique suggests that careful clinical judgment is necessary to select grafts for individual patients.

Abstract
Objectives Robotic-enhanced minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (RE-MIDCAB) is based on the use of a robotic console and instrumentation for the dissection of the left internal thoracic artery (LITA). The LITA to left anterior descending (LAD) artery anastomosis is subsequently constructed through a mini thoracotomy. The purpose of this study is to present our experience of RE-MIDCAB outcomes in elderly patients. Methods From 2002 until 2015, 44 octogenarians (the mean age of 82.9 years) underwent RE-MIDCAB. The mean logistic EuroSCORE was 9.2. The majority of the patients were male with a medical history of hypertension, dyslipidaemia and previous coronary interventions. Of these patients 25% underwent RE-MIDCAB combined with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of multi-vessel disease (hybrid revascularization). Results All RE-MIDCABs and combined 'hybrid' PCI procedures were successfully completed. The mean intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay were 1.6 days and 10.9 days, respectively. There was 1 in-hospital mortality (2.3%). After an average follow-up period of 29.2 months, 5 patients required repeat revascularization procedures (9.1%). Mortality on follow-up was estimated at 25.6%. Conclusions Our report suggests that considering the age and frailty of the octogenarian population, RE-MIDCAB is a feasible and safe procedure which is associated with acceptable mid-term results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Little data are available to compare coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) vs percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) in older adults. We evaluate the long-term outcomes of CABG vs PCI with DES in older adults with left main or multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN Individual patient-level meta-analysis. SETTINGS Databases from the BEST, PRECOMBAT, and SYNTAX trials were combined. PARTICIPANTS A total 1,079 adults aged 70 to 89 years were pooled. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was a composite of death from any causes, myocardial infarction, stroke, or repeat revascularization. RESULTS During a total of 6.3 (median, 4.9) years of follow-up, the primary composite outcome of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, or repeat revascularization occurred in 26% (141/550) and 34% (179/529) of patients in the CABG and PCI groups, respectively (hazard ratio (HR), 0.75; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.60-0.94; P = .012). CABG was associated with fewer myocardial infarction (4% vs 8% for PCI; HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.29-0.80; P = .037); and repeat revascularizations (8% vs 17% for PCI; HR, 044; 95% CI, 0.31-0.64; P < .001), but had little association with all-cause mortality or stroke. CONCLUSION Older adults age 70 to 89 years with left main or multivessel CAD who participated in the BEST, PRECOMBAT, and SYNTAX trials; compared to PCI, CABG was associated with lower risk of primary outcome which was mostly driven by lower risk of myocardial infarction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Demographic changes lead to a rising incidence of octogenarians undergoing surgical revascularization of coronary artery disease. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) represents a surgical treatment with reduced trauma and without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study was to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes after MIDCAB in octogenarians. METHODS Between 1998 and 2012, 1060 patients underwent MIDCAB at our department. Among them, 72 patients (6.8%) were older than 80 years at the time of operation. Incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) was compared between octogenarians [median age 82 (81; 85) years, 63.9% male] and younger MIDCAB patients [median age 64 (56; 70) years, 70.7% male] after 30 days and during follow-up. The impact of demographics and preoperative comorbidities on mortality during follow-up was analysed. RESULTS At baseline, the elderly group presented with a statistically significant higher logistic EuroSCORE I (9.2 vs 2.2%, P < 0.001). Within 30 days, octogenarians showed a mortality rate of 5.6% (younger patients 0.8%, P = 0.006) and an MACCE rate of 5.6% (younger patients 1.3%, P = 0.024). The median follow-up time of 30-day survivors was 5.5 (2.9; 7.6) years and follow-up completeness reached 96.9%. In the elderly group, 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 89, 78 and 63% in comparison with 97, 94 and 90% in the younger group (P < 0.001), respectively. The estimated median survival time in octogenarians was 6.7 (CI 4.854; 8.629) years. Logistic regression showed preoperative renal impairment, peripheral arterial occlusive disease and pulmonary hypertension to have a stronger impact on mortality during follow-up than age above 80 years. CONCLUSIONS MIDCAB represents a safe treatment option in octogenarians and is associated with a good perioperative outcome and satisfying long-term results in octogenarians.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data on nursing home admission in patient's ≥80 years after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate longevity and subsequent admission to a nursing home stratified by age in a nationwide CABG cohort. METHODS All patients who underwent isolated CABG from 1996 to 2012 in Denmark were identified through nationwide registers. The cumulative incidence of admission to a nursing home after CABG was estimated. A Cox regression model was constructed to identify predictors for living in a nursing home 1 year after CABG. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for survival analysis. Subanalysis on home care usage was performed in the period 2008-2012. RESULTS A total of 38 487 patients were included. The median age was 65.4 ± 9.5 years (1455 > 80 years) and 80% were males. The 30-day mortality rate was 2.8%, increasing with age (1.2% in patients <60 years and 7.8% in patients ≥80 years). The mortality rate at 1 year was 2.2% among patients aged <60 and 14.1% among patients ≥80 years. At the 1-year follow-up, 4.2% of patients <60 years, 7.9% of patients 60-70 years, 14.4% of patients 70-74 years, 18.5% of patients 75-79 years and 29.1% of patients ≥80 years had received home care. The proportion of patients admitted to a nursing home at 1, 5 and 10 years after CABG was 0.1, 0.4 and 1.0% (<60 years), and 1.4, 7.5 and 16.8% (≥80 years), respectively. Main predictors for living in a nursing home 1 year postoperatively were: age ≥80 years [hazard ratio (HR) 17.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) 7.4-42.8], female sex (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.6), previous heart failure (HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.0-2.4), previous myocardial infarction (HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.3-3.2) and previous stroke (HR 3.3, 95% CI 2.1-4.9). Neither urgent nor emergency surgeries were significant predictors for living in a nursing home 1 year postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS The majority of all patients selected for CABG surgery in Denmark between 1996-2012, including the elderly, were able to live independently at home without the need of home care for many years after CABG. The risk of nursing home admission was small and dependent on the patient's age, sex and preoperative comorbidities.

Abstract
AIM As a result of a higher prevalence of comorbidities, elderly adults are often underrepresented in clinical trials, and more often experience complications during percutaneous coronary intervention. Our aim was to evaluate clinical outcomes of patients older than 80 years, compared with their younger counterparts, when bioresorbable polymer biolimus A9 drug-eluting stent is used for their treatment. METHODS The prospective, observational e-Nobori registry was created to validate the safety and efficacy of bioresorbable polymer drug-eluting stent in unselected patients. The primary end-point of the study was freedom from target lesion failure defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization at 1 year. RESULTS There were 781 (7.8%) octogenarians, they were less frequently male (62% vs 77%; P < 0.0001) and more often presented as acute coronary syndrome (44% vs 39%; P = 0.0182). The index percutaneous coronary intervention success was lower in the elderly patients (98% vs 99%; P = 0.0398). One-year follow up was completed for 97% of the elderly patients and 99% of the younger patients. The difference in target lesion failure (3.33% vs 2.83%; log-rank P = 0.0114) was mainly driven by increased mortality in octogenarians (3.73% vs 1.47%; P < 0.0001). Elderly patients had more bleeding and vascular complications (2.67% vs 1.05%; P = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Despite advanced age, multiple comorbidities and complexity of treated lesions, clinical outcomes are favorable in octogenarians treated by bioresorbable polymer biolimus A9 drug-eluting stent.

Comparison of Outcomes of Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated by Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Analyzed by Age Groups (<75, 75 to 85, and >85 Years); (Results from the Bremen STEMI Registry). Am J Cardiol 2015; 116:1802-9. [PMID: 26602071 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2015.09.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2015] [Revised: 09/06/2015] [Accepted: 09/06/2015] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
As old patients, who were treated by percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), are regularly excluded or underrepresented in randomized trials, data on treatment and outcomes of this patient group at high risk have to be collected by registries. The study population of the German Bremen STEMI Registry was divided into the age groups G1: <75 years (n = 4,108, young), G2: 75 to 85 years (n = 1,032, old), and G3: >85 years (n = 216, very old) and was evaluated for clinical management and course. PCI failure (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow 0 or 1 after PCI) was observed more often with increasing age. Patients >85 years without successful PCI had a very high inhospital mortality (40.0% without PCI success vs 18.1% with PCI success, p <0.05). Despite a reduced rate of periinterventional treatment with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors in elderly patients of G2 and G3, inhospital bleedings (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction/Bleeding Academic Research Consortium ≥2) occurred more frequently in these patients (G1: 5.4% vs G2: 11.0% vs G3: 19.6%, p <0.0001). Mortality rates during inhospital and long-term course increased with increasing age. In a multivariate analysis successful PCI was associated with improved outcomes in all age groups; even in very old patients successful PCI was associated with a significantly lower inhospital mortality rate (odds ratio 0.26, 95% confidence interval 0.08 to 0.81) and a trend toward a lower 1-year mortality. In conclusion, the present "real-world" data demonstrate an elevated rate of PCI failure, bleeding complications, and mortality in elderly patients treated by primary PCI for STEMI. However, a beneficial effect of successful PCI on mortality was observed in all age groups, even in very old patients, indicating the crucial role of revascularization therapy.

Abstract
A proportion of elderly with coronary artery disease is rapidly growing. They have more severe coronary artery disease, therefore, derive more benefit from revascularization and have a greater need for it. The elderly is a heterogeneous group, but compared to the younger cohort, the choice of the optimal revascularization method is much more complicated among them. In recent decades, results has improved dramatically both in surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), even in very old persons. Despite the lack of evidence in elderly, it is obvious, that coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) has a more pronounced effect on long-term survival in price of more strokes, while PCI is certainly less invasive. Age itself is not a criterion for the selection of treatment strategy, but the elderly are often more interested in quality of life and personal independence instead of longevity. This article discusses the factors that influence the choice of the revascularization method in the elderly with stable angina and presents a complex algorithm for making an individual risk-benefit profile. As a consequence the features of CABG and PCI in elderly patients are exposed. Emphasis is centered on the frailty and non-medical factors, including psychosocial, as essential components in making the decision of what strategy to choose. Good communication with the patients and giving them unbiased information is encouraged.

Comparison of transradial and transfemoral coronary intervention in octogenarians with acute myocardial infarction. Int J Cardiol 2015; 202:419-24. [PMID: 26433163 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2015.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2014] [Revised: 06/21/2015] [Accepted: 09/04/2015] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The transradial (TR) approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is challenging and associated with failure in elderly patients. We compared the TR and transfemoral (TF) approaches in patients>80 years with acute myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing PCI. METHODS A total of 1945 (7.2%) octogenarians were enrolled from among 27,129 patients in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry. The TR group (n=336, 17.3%) was compared with the TF group (n=1609, 82.7%) in the overall and propensity-matched cohorts with respect to procedural success, complications, in-hospital mortality, and one-year mortality and total major adverse cardiac event (MACE; death, MI, and revascularization) rate. RESULTS In the overall cohort, the TR group had lower incidence of Killip class III or IV compared to the TF group. The disease extent and lesion severity were similar between groups, as was the procedural success rate (97.7% vs. 98.3%); however, in-hospital complications were significantly lower in the TR group (8.1% vs. 20.3%). In-hospital mortality was significantly lower in the TR group than the TF group (3.4% vs. 11.4%), as were the one-year mortality and total MACE (9.8% vs. 18.4% and 13% vs. 21.9%, respectively). These outcomes were consistent in the propensity-matched cohort. The TR approach was found to be a significant predictor of low in-hospital mortality (OR 0.355, 95% CI 0.139-0.907), but not of one-year mortality (OR 0.644, 95% CI 0.334-1.240). CONCLUSIONS In octogenarians with acute MI undergoing PCI, the TR approach was more effective than the TF approach as it had lower complication rate and better clinical outcomes with comparable procedural success.

Abstract
Our population dynamics are changing. The number of octogenarians and older people in the general population is increasing and therefore the number of older patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome or stable angina is increasing. This group has a larger burden of coronary disease and also a greater number of concomitant comorbidities when compared to younger patients. Many of the studies assessing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to date have actively excluded octogenarians. However, a number of studies, both retrospective and prospective, are now being undertaken to reflect the, "real" population. Despite being a higher risk group for both elective and emergency PCIs, octogenarians have the greatest to gain in terms of prognosis, symptomatic relief, and arguably more importantly, quality of life. Important future development will include assessment of patient frailty, encouraging early presentation, addressing gender differences on treatment strategies, identification of culprit lesion(s) and vascular access to minimise vascular complications. We are now appreciating that the new frontier is perhaps recognising and risk stratifying those elderly patients who have the most to gain from PCI. This review article summarises the most relevant trials and studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The feasibility of using bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafts for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in octogenarians is not clear. This study aimed to compare outcomes between use of BITA and single internal thoracic artery (SITA) grafts in octogenarians undergoing isolated CABG. METHODS Isolated CABG was performed in 1,566 patients at the Sakakibara Heart Institute between September 2004 and December 2012. Of these, 125 consecutive octogenarians were included and divided into two groups, according to the use of BITA grafts (101 subjects) or SITA grafts (24 subjects). Early and late outcomes were compared between groups. RESULTS The preoperative patient characteristics were similar between the two groups. Early outcomes were similar, including hospital death or deep sternal infection. The estimated 5-year survival rate was similar in the BITA and SITA groups (78% vs 62%, p = 0.269). Freedom from major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events was significantly higher in the BITA group than in the SITA group after 5 years (90% vs 75%, p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that use of BITA grafts for CABG is feasible and beneficial in octogenarians, resulting in improved late outcomes without increased operative risk.

Abstract
Currently a quarter of all patients treated with percutanous coronary intervention (PCI) are aged >75 years, with this proportion steadily growing. This subset of patients have a number of unique characteristics, such as a greater number of cardiovascular risk factors and frequently a larger burden of coronary artery disease, when compared to younger patients, therefore potentially deriving increased benefit from revascularization. Nonetheless this population are also more likely to experience procedural complications, secondary to age-related physiological alterations, increased frailty and increased prevalence of other co-morbidities. This article reviews the various aspects and data available to clinicians pertaining to and guiding revascularization in the elderly, including the use of adjuvant pharmacotherapy, specific considerations when considering age-related physiology, and revascularization in acute coronary syndromes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little known about long-term outcome data regarding acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Chinese octogenarians (> 80 years old). Long-term outcomes of octogenarians with ACS may be associated with increased complicated coronary artery lesion severity. METHODS We classified 536 consecutive octogenarians with ACS into four groups based on Gensini score. Survival and major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox regression was used to identify mortality predictors. The follow-up period was 27 (IQR15-36) months. RESULTS The overall long-term mortality rate was 9.1% and increased from 3.0% in group 1 to 16.7% in group 4. Increasing coronary artery lesion severity was associated with increased long-term mortality and MACE rates. ROC curve analysis showed that the predictive cut-off value of Gensini score for mortality was 53. Gensini score provided significant reclassification of mortality (net reclassification index 0.195, P<0.01). Age, gender, heart rate, SBP, chronic renal failure, e-GFR, GRACE score, Gensini score, and ACS type were different between surviving and deceased patients. Notably, chronic renal failure (OR=2.55, P=0.036), GRACE score (OR=1.10, P=0.006), and Gensini score(OR=1.11, P=0.003) were the independent predictors of long-term mortality. CONCLUSIONS Long-term mortality of octogenarians with ACS was associated with increased comprehensive coronary artery lesion severity. Gensini score was an effective parameter for evaluation of long-term mortality.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiovascular diseases remain the most common cause of death in older adults. Guidelines state that advanced age alone should not limit the use of invasive therapy. However, coronary angiograms and subsequent revascularization are often not carried out in octogenarians. The benefit/risk balance of an invasive strategy and the decision-making process are not clearly defined. The aim of the present study was to assess the decision-making process, and the in-hospital and long-term mortality based on the clinical presentation, the diagnostic approach (coronary angiogram or conservative) and the therapeutic management (revascularization or not). METHODS The present study was a single-center retrospective analysis. RESULTS A total of 522 patients aged ≥80 years, with a diagnosis of coronary disease were included from 2003 to 2009. The mean age was 82 ± 2.6 years. A total of 195 of 522 (37%) presented with a ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A coronary angiogram was carried out in 316 patients (60.5%) and 71% were treated by percutaneous coronary revascularization. A total of 39.5% were considered ineligible for a coronary angiogram due to cardiological reasons or comorbidities. Excluding cardiogenic shock, overall in-hospital mortality was 4.9%. Clinical presentation strongly influenced both in-hospital and 6-month mortality rates (cardiogenic shock 20% and 28.7%, stable angina 1% and 4.1%, respectively, P < 0.001). Long-term mortality was reduced in the coronary angiography arm compared with the conservative group (14.3% vs 20.9%, P = 0.04) whether or not revascularization was carried out. CONCLUSION In the present study, in octogenarians, long-term mortality was lower in the group of patients who underwent a coronary angiogram, regardless of revascularization. The selection process for coronary angiography and angioplasty was mostly influenced by the existence of age-associated comorbidities. Risk prediction models are required to reduce age-dependent biases.

Abstract
Due to the increase in average life expectancy and the higher incidence of cardiovascular disease with advancing age, more elderly patients present for cardiac surgery nowadays. Advances in pre- and postoperative care have led to the possibility that an increasing number of elderly patients can be operated on safely and with a satisfactory outcome. Currently, coronary artery bypass surgery, aortic and mitral valve surgery, and major surgery of the aorta are performed in elderly patients. The data available show that most cardiac surgical procedures can be performed in elderly patients with a satisfactory outcome. Nevertheless, the risk for these patients is only acceptable in the absence of comorbidities. In particular, renal dysfunction, cerebrovascular disease, and poor clinical state are associated with a worse outcome in elderly patients. Careful patient selection, flawless surgery, meticulous hemostasis, perfect anesthesia, and adequate myocardial protection are basic requirements for the success of cardiac surgery in elderly patients. The care of elderly cardiac surgical patients can be improved only through the strict collaboration of geriatricians, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons, in order to obtain a tailored treatment for each individual patient.

Abstract
With the increase in life expectancy, the proportion of very elderly people is increasing. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in this age group, for which myocardial revascularization is often indicated. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the very elderly bears the inherent risks of complications and mortality, but the potential benefits may outweigh these risks. A number of observational studies, registries, and few randomized controlled trials have shown the safety and feasibility of PCI in octogenarians and nonagenarians. However, PCI is only rarely done in centenarians; so, the outcome of percutaneous coronary revascularization in this age group is largely unknown. PCI in a centenarian with complex CAD is described here; the patient presented with unstable angina despite optimum medical therapy, and surgery was declined. Good angiographic success was followed by non-cardiac complications, which were managed with a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
Objective Uncertainty exists regarding the relative performance of drug-eluting stents (DES) versus bare-metal stents (BMS) in octogenarians undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We undertook a meta-analysis to assess outcomes for DES and BMS in octogenarians undergoing PCI. Methods Electronic data bases of PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE were searched. We included randomized, controlled clinical trials (RCT) and observational studies comparing DES and BMS in octogenarians receiving PCI. The methodological qualities of eligible trials were assessed using a “risk of bias” tool. The endpoints included all-cause death, major adverse cardiac events (MACE), myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), major bleeding, and stent thrombosis (ST). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated for each endpoint. Results A total of one RCT and six observational studies were included and analyzed in this meta-analysis. All trials were of acceptable quality. At 30 days, compared with DES-treated patients, BMS-treated patients had a higher incidence of mortality (OR: 3.91, 95% CI: 1.10–13.91; P = 0.03). The OR for MACE (1.52, 95% CI: 0.56–4.17; P = 0.13), MI (0.81, 95% CI: 0.37–2.17; P = 0.23), TVR (0.75, 95% CI: 0.17–3.41; P = 0.41), major bleeding (0.77, 95% CI: 0.35–1.68; P = 0.43), and ST (1.44, 95% CI: 0.32–6.45; P = 0.33) did not reach statistical significance. At one year follow-up, the OR did not favor BMS over MACE (MACE, defined as the composite of death, myocardial infarction, and TVR) (1.87; 95% CI: 1.22–2.87; P < 0.01), MI (1.91, 95% CI: 1.22–2.99; P < 0.01), TVR (3.08, 95% CI: 1.80–5.26; P < 0.01) and ST (3.37, 95% CI: 1.12–10.13; P < 0.01). The OR for mortality (1.51; 95% CI: 0.92–2.47; P = 0.10) and major bleeding (0.85, 95% CI: 0.47–1.55; P = 0.60) did not reach statistical significance. At > 1 year follow-up, the OR for all endpoints, including mortality, MACE, MI, TVR, major bleeding, and ST, did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggests that DES is associated with favorable outcomes as compared with BMS in octogenarians receiving PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk stratification is essential for the clinical decision-making process in elderly patients undergoing multivessel revascularization, since the optimal revascularization strategy remains subject of ongoing debate. AIMS To assess the prognostic value of angiographic versus clinical characteristics for the prediction of a first adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and target lesion revascularization) and to develop a combined risk model. METHODS After multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (MV-PCI), SYNTAX score and EuroSCORE were calculated as combined risk model in 328 elderly patients who were followed up for a first MACCE. RESULTS 328 patients with a mean age of 77.5 ± 5.1 years were followed up for 2.7 ± 1.5 years. A first MACCE occurred in 50.0 % (164/328) of the patients. To improve predictability, a combined risk score model with receiver operating characteristic curve validated cut-off values for EuroSCORE (>5 %) and SYNTAX score (>25) was developed. High risk patients had a 3.5-fold higher risk for MACCE after 3 years (HR 7.1, 95 % CI 1.9-6.5; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS For adequate risk assessment in elderly patients undergoing MV-PCI, consideration of both comorbidities and coronary anatomic complexity is essential. A combined angiographic and clinical risk score provides superior prediction of 3-year MACCE risk in elderly patients.
