Association of complete revascularization with safety and outcomes in elderly patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The utility of complete revascularization has been well defined in young patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the clinical benefit in elderly patients remains unclear with current literature has yielded conflicting results. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association of complete versus culprit-only coronary revascularization with mortality in elderly patients with multivessel CAD.

Methods

A literature search was conducted for studies reporting on outcomes after complete versus culprit-only revascularization in elderly patients with multivessel CAD presenting with ACS. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. The main secondary endpoint was cardiovascular (CV) mortality. The search included
