Characteristics and Outcomes of Older Patients Undergoing Protected Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Impella.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention, Impella has become an important adjunctive tool to support revascularization. The impact of age on the outcomes of patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention is limited. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients ≥75 years of age undergoing Impella-supported high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods and results

Baseline characteristics and outcomes of patients ≥75 years of age versus those of patients <75 years of age in patients enrolled in the cVAD PROTECT III (Catheter-Based Ventricular Assist Device Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized Controlled Trial of the IMPELLA RECOVER LP 2.5 System Versus Intra Aortic Balloon Pum
