Outcomes of Nonagenarians With Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Objectives: Nonagenarians are a fast-growing age group among cardiovascular patients, but data about their management and prognosis after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is scarce. This study aimed to analyze characteristics of nonagenarian patients with ACS and to compare in-hospital and 1-year clinical outcomes between those treated with medical treatment (MT) alone and those receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Design: Multicenter observational study.

Sex-gender disparities in nonagenarians with acute coronary syndrome.

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains one of the leading causes of mortality for women, increasing with age. There is an unmet need regarding this condition in a fast-growing and predominantly female population, such as nonagenarians.

Hypothesis: Our aim is to compare sex-based differences in ACS management and long-term clinical outcomes between women and men in a cohort of nonagenarians.

Coronary lithoplasty for calcified lesions: real-world multicenter registry.

Introduction And Objectives: Coronary lithoplasty (CL) is a balloon-based technique used to treat calcified lesions. This study reports the initial experience of treatment of calcified lesions with CL in an unselected and high-risk population.

Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter registry, which included all consecutive cases with calcified coronary lesions that underwent CL between August, 2018 and August, 2019.
