Patients more than 70 years old constitute a growing segment of our population. Although older patients with coronary artery disease are in general treated conservatively, of >200,000 coronary bypass operations performed in the US in 1984, 36% were in patients 65 years of age or older.1Most coronary surgery studies recognize that advanced age is associated with increased mortality.2–5Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), a less invasive procedure, appears particularly attractive as a therapeutic alternative in the elderly. This report evaluates early and late results of PTCA in patients 70 years or older and investigates whether PTCA can be carried out with similar results in patients with stable and unstable angina.
