title: [Effects of partial revascularization in elderly patients over 80 years old with coronary artery diseases].
abstract: 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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Partial revascularization for elderly CAD patients can achieve satisfactory clinical results, and close attention should be given to the heart and kidney function of these patients.
