Over 4 yr, 102 consecutive patients more than 75 yr old (56 men, 46 women; mean age 78 +/- 3 years, range: 76-89 years) underwent 120 percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty procedures. At baseline, 86% had severe anginal symptoms (Canadian class III or IV), 43% had a history of prior myocardial infarction; 61% had multivessel coronary artery disease, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 60 +/- 11%. Calcifications were observed on 66% of the dilated arteries. A total of 158 vessels (1.3 vessel per procedure) were attempted: 1 vessel in 89 procedures (74%), 2 vessels in 24 (20%) and 3 vessels in 7 (6%). The primary success rate was 80% per lesion (126/158) and 77% per procedure (92/120). Complications included 3 deaths (3%), 9 Q-wave infarctions (7.5%) and there was no emergency coronary bypass surgery. The primary success rate was significantly related to the absence of coronary calcifications on the dilated segment (88% versus 75%, p < 0.05) and to the initial patency of the dilated artery (subtotal stenosis: 83% versus total occlusion: 53%, p < 0.05). Follow-up data were obtained in the 79 consecutive patients with a duration of follow-up exceeding 8 months. The mean duration of follow-up was 23 +/- 13 months (range 8 to 61 months). No patient was lost to follow-up; 11 patients died (cardiac causes: 7), 2 had a non-fatal infarction, 7 had aortocoronary bypass surgery and 18 had repeat percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
