title: [Partial revascularization of the myocardium in geriatric patients with different forms of coronary artery disease].
abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most frequent diseases of geriatric patients, which substantially deteriorates the quality of life and leads to lethal outcomes. Coronary angioplasty (CA) is an effective method of CAD treatment in this group of patients. CA is the method of choice for geriatric patients with contraindications for surgical revascularization. No consensus about revascularization volume in multivessel disease has been reached in the worldwide practice. Peculiarities of myocardial blood supply in elderly patients allow partial revascularization with good periprocedural and long-term results.
