PURPOSE: To evaluate the immediate and long term results of percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty (PTCA) in patients over 80 years old. METHODS: From 1/1/89 to 6/31/95, 97 patients with 80 years of age or older were submitted to PTCA and were divided into three groups: group A (GrA)-30 patients with stable angina, mean age of 82.5 years, 24 (80%) men; group B(GrB)-40 patients with unstable angina, mean age 81.2 years, 31 (77.5%) men; group C (GrC)-27 patients with myocardial infarction (MI), mean age of 82 years, 16 (59.2%) men. RESULTS: Early outcome-general success rate of 84.5% and mortality rate of 5.1%. The success and mortality rate were in GrA 83.3% and 3.3%, in GrB 85% and 5% and in GrC 85.2% and 7.4%, respectively. Late outcome-the number and percentage of patients with late follow-up and the clinic-angiographic and angiographic restenosis rates were for GrA 19(76%), 52.9%, 75%; GrB 30(88.2%), 30.8%, 61.5% and GrC 12(52.2%), 66.6%, 85.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: PTCA can be considered an important revascularization alternative in octogenarian patients because of high early success rate, low mortality and acceptable long-term outcome.
