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.
