Objectives Although the prevalence of coronary artery disease increases with age, elderly patients are underrepresented in clinical trials. We sought to describe the short-term outcomes of octogenarians undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in both emergent and elective settings.Methods We retrospectively identified all octogenarians undergoing PCI at our institution from January 2002 to December 2005. The outcomes of those undergoing primary PCI for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (group A) were compared with a randomly selected cohort of octogenarians undergoing elective PCI (group B).Results Group A comprised 91 patients and group B 88 patients. Procedure success was high with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 3 flow achieved in greater than 90% of patients in both groups. Group A experienced more postprocedure morbidity including acute renal failure (47 vs. 8%) and bleeding requiring transfusion (51 vs. 17%) (P
