Temporal Trends and Outcomes of Superelderly Patients Undergoing Coronary Intervention: Insights From the J-PCI Registry
Authors' conclusion
Our nationwide study demonstrated a consistent year-on-year increase in the age of patients undergoing PCI without reaching a plateau. Advanced age was strongly associated with poor outcomes, particularly in nonagenarians, reinforcing the need for shared decision-making in PCI in the oldest-old population.
