Predictors of mortality and adverse outcome in elderly high-risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objectives: We sought to identify predictors of in-hospital and long-term (> 1 year) mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in elderly patients referred for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: Seventy-three patients (> or = 80 years) were included. Clinical and interventional characteristics were collected retrospectively.
