Effects of complete revascularization on long-term treatment outcomes in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease over 80 years of age admitted for acute coronary syndrome.

Background: The effects of complete revascularization (CR) on long-term treatment outcomes in patients over 80 years of age with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) have not been sufficiently investigated.

Methods: In this study, we analyzed data obtained in 305 patients over 80 years of age with MVD who were admitted in the period from January 2014 to August 2017 for ACS. The patients were divided into two groups.

[Predictors of one-year outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions in octogenarian patients with acute coronary syndrome.].

Our study presented the long-term outcomes of coronary stenting and predictors of two-year outcomes in octogenarian patients with acute coronary syndrome. A total of 366 patients with STEMI, NSTEMI and unstable angina undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Results were assessed at a median follow up of 20 months.

[A Case of Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy With Rare Anomaly of Coronary Arteries Origin].

A clinical case of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in 44‑years old man is presented. In this patient exercise ECG testing and 24‑hour ECG monitoring revealed exercise-induced ST depression in the angiographically confirmed absence of coronary atherosclerosis. The uncommonness of this observation was the combination of HCM with a rare anomaly of coronary arteries origin.

[Radial Approach for Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease: Advantages and Disadvantages, Complications Rate in Comparison With Femoral Approach].

During recent 10-15 years, percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) have reached a new level of efficacy and safety. Rate of serious coronary complications has decreased. That to a greater degree exposes the problem of peripheral complications at the site of arterial approach.
