Background: Nowadays, 49% of patients with pacemakers are older than 80 years old. Nevertheless, mortality and change in functional status after pacemaker implantation are not well documented in elderly patients.
Objective: We designed a prospective study to analyze the cardiovascular mortality and change in functional status of elderly patients, medium-long term after pacemaker implantation.

Background: The stent length as well as the stent overlap for the percutaneous treatment of diffuse coronary disease have been considered predictors of adverse events. However, there are no comparative data on the use of very long stents or overlapping stents in this scenario.
Objective: To compare the clinical results of very long stents (≥40 mm) or overlapping stents in real clinical practice.
Pacemaker-induced superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a rare but incapacitating adverse event that can occur years after implantation. Inasmuch as it is a rare disease, there is no consensus about its treatment. The most widely used option is balloon angioplasty and venous stent implantation, with preservation of the lead or previous extraction and subsequent reimplantation after the procedure, which is associated with new episodes of thrombosis.
