Highlights
Ischemic heart disease is one of the major challenges that encounter healthcare providers all over the world
The participation of the elderly in the clinical trials that investigated different aspects of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been markedly under-represented which created a vague state of decision making capability that could hinder the optimal treatment for many old patients
More advanced technologies have been introduced to interventional cardiology platforms, a variety of medical therapy options have been available, less invasive PCI approaches have been adopted, more advanced cardiac imaging modalities have been improving, and more attention to elderly undergoing PCI has been given
Summary
Ischemic heart disease is one of the major challenges that encounter healthcare providers all over the world. Pooled data from 5 different trials that participated in the RESOLUTE study program and included 5130 patients undergoing PCI with the resolute zotarolimus-eluting stent showed that rates of some complications such as MI and repeat revascularization in 1675 patients aged 70 years or older (33%) were similar to those of younger participants, significant bleeding events occurred more frequently among older population.
