title: [Survival of elderly patients after coronary stenting in acute myocardial infarction during the eight years of observation: retrospective analyses].
abstract: This article shows the results of analysis of hospital and long-term mortality and survival of elderly patients who underwent coronary artery stenting in acute myocardial infarction, compared with those patients who received only conservative therapy. Eight-year mortality in the stented patients was significantly lower and amounted to 12.5%, whereas in the group treated conservatively--56.0% (p < 0.05). Among the patients of middle age this index was 0 and 23.0% respectively, which indicates the high efficacy of coronary stenting in acute myocardial infarction compared with isolated medical therapy among middle-aged and elderly patients.
