Abstract
- Introduction Owing to the ageing of the population, nonagenarian patients are increasingly present in catheterization laboratories, part of them with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the recommended reperfusion therapy in patients with STEMI, provided it can be performed promptly. However, elderly patients are usually excluded from clinical trials and few data are available about nonagenarians referred for primary PCI. Purpose The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of nonagenarians STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical, angiographic and in-hospital outcomes of death, re-infarction and stroke of primary PCI in nonagenarian STEMI patients, included in the Brazilian PCI Registry (CENIC) between June 2006 and March 2016. Predictors of in-hospital mortality of this population were determined through multivariate analysis. Results Over a period of 10 years, 847 nonagenarians were enrolled in the CENIC Registry, and 252 presented with STEMI and underwent a primary PCI. The population was predominantly female (55.2%), with a median age of 92 years (interquartile range 4 years, maximum of 105 years) and 63.9% in Killip class I at admission. Median door-to-balloon time was 90±60 minutes. Double or triple-vessel disease was found in 63%. It was used 1.3 stent per patient, 8.9% drug-eluting stents. The femoral access route was preferred in 82.1% of patients and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors was given to 9.9%. In-hospital mortality in the period was 10.7% and re-infarction occurred in 0.5%. No cases of stroke have been reported. The only predictor of hospital mortality was Killip class (OR 7.1, 95% CI 2.7–18.5, p Conclusion In a real-world setting, primary PCI in nonagenarian STEMI patients can be performed with good clinical outcomes and acceptable in-hospital mortality rate and must be recommended even in oldest-old age patients. Killip class was the only predictor of in-hospital mortality in this population. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
