Abstract
Background The long-term benefit of early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for cardiogenic shock (CS) in elderly patients remains unclear. We sought to assess the long-term survival of elderly patients (age ≳ 75 years) with myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by CS undergoing PCI. Methods We analyzed baseline characteristics, early outcomes, and long-term survival in 421 consecutive patients presenting with MI and CS who underwent PCI from the Melbourne Interventional Group registry from 2004 to 2011. Mean follow-up of patients who survived to hospital discharge was 3.0 ± 1.8 years. Results Of the 421 consecutive patients, 122 patients were elderly (≳ 75 years) and 299 patients we..
