Outcome in octogenarian patients with lower extremity artery disease after endovascular revascularisation: a retrospective single-centre cohort study using in-patient data.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the clinical benefit of endovascular revascularisation (EVR) in octogenarian (aged ≥80 years) patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD).

Design

Retrospective single-centre study.

Setting

University hospital with a specialised centre for vascular medicine.

Participants

681 LEAD patients undergoing EVR between 2010 and 2016 were stratified by age.

Main outcome measure

Technical success, complications and mortality.

Results

The cohort comprised 172 (25.3%) octogenarian and 509 (74.7%) non-octogenarian patients. Despite higher LEAD stages and complexity of EVR in octogenarians, primary technical success rate (79% octogenarians vs 86% non-octogenarians, p=0.006) and 1-year survival (87% vs 96%, p<0.001) were overall
