RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Nonagenarians are systematically excluded from studies of interventional cardiology. Few data exist on the usefulness, safety, and results of coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this population. PURPOSE: To evaluate the benefits and hazards of CA and PCI in nonagenarians. METHODS: Retrospective study conducted from the database (Cardioreport(®)) of the CH de Versailles, from January 2001 to December 2011. RESULTS: From the 15,806 procedures performed in the center during the period, 107 (0.9%) were done in 97 patients aged ≥90years. Half of them underwent PCI. Median age was 92±2years (range: 90 to 100), 56% were women. Main indication was an acute coronary syndrome (77%, acute STEMI in 39%). The first group (n=58) had a single CA leading to strengthen medical treatment, and CABG in one case. The second group (n=49) had a CA followed by immediate (41) or delayed (8) PCI. The primary success rate of PCI was 90%. Radial route was used in 94% in the period 2009-2011 (51% overall). Failure of arterial access (4%) and difficulties of catheterization (13%) were rare. Severe complications occurred in 19%. They were local (11 hematomas, 6 severe, 4 transfusions, and 1 fatal acute ischemia of a lower limb), and general (1 stroke, 1 death by left main rupture during PCI). Twenty percent of the complications (11% of severe ones) were directly related to the procedure. Overall hospital mortality was 10%. CONCLUSIONS: Angiography is feasible in nonagenarians by radial approach without failures and with a reduced rate of complications. PCI was indicated in about half of the cases. PCI may be proposed in nonagerians with a high success rate, and an acceptable risk of local and general complications.

AIMS OF THE STUDY: To study the epidemiologic, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics of the myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To identify the impact of CKD in hospital, mid- and long-term survival after myocardial infarction. To determine the predictive factors of hospital and midterm MACCE in patients with CKD. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study population was 231 patients with a myocardial infarction admitted alive from January 2005 to December 2006. The population was divided into two groups. Group 1: glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥60 ml/min: 112 patients; group 2: GFR<60 ml/min: 119 patients. RESULTS: Patients with CKD had more history of stroke and arterial hypertension. They had received less medical therapies and urgent reperfusion. In multivariate analysis, CKD was a predictive factor of hospital (P=0.016), at 6 months (P=0.003), at 1 year (P=0.004) and at 2 years MACCE (P=0,015). The predictive factors of hospital MACCE in group 2 were: use of vasopressors (P=0.001) and primary angioplasty (P=0.043). In patients with CKD, only surgical coronary revascularization was MACCE predictive factor (P=0.03). CONCLUSION: Baseline renal function is a powerful predictor of short- and long-term events after myocardial infarction. Our results confirm the need to include the renal function in the evaluation of the level of risk among patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction.
