OBJECTIVE
To observe the clinical effects of partial revascularization on elderly patients with coronary artery diseases(CAD) METHODS: Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of the most likely culprit vessels were performed in 37 patients over 80 years old with multivessel coronary artery diseases (CAD).


RESULTS
The success rate of PCI was 100% in these elderly patients without serious complications. The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.7%, and all the other patients recovered and were discharged.
