ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of emergency intracoronary stenting for senile patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Eighty-four senile patients with AMI underwent emergency intracoronary stenting were compared with eighty-eight non-senile patients with AMI. Results Eighty-six stents were implanted in eighty-four infarction related arteries (IRA), two patients died during hospitalization,the procedural success rate was 97.6% in senile group. Eighty-eight stents were implanted in eighty-eight IRA, one patient died during hospitalization, the success rate was 98.9% in non-senile group. There was no significant difference in characteristic of stents, bleeding complication and LVEF between the senile group and the non-senile group.Conclusion Emergercy intracoronary stenting was an effective and safe therapeutic maneuver for the senile patients with AMI.
