AB  - Background/objectives. To investigate the procedural and long-term outcome of 
      primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in octogenarians with an acute 
      myocardial infarction.Methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of all 
      consecutive octogenarian patients (n=98) with an acute myocardial infarction 
      treated with primary PCI in the Catharina Hospital in the year 2006. We compared 
      procedural results and outcome with a matched control group composed of 
      non-octogenarians undergoing primary PCI. Follow-up period was one year.Results. 
      The initial success rate of PCI was similar in the two groups but short-term 
      mortality was higher among the elderly patients: 30-day mortality 26.3 vs. 9.6%. 
      Age-adjusted mortality between 30 days and one year was comparable in the two 
      groups and similar to natural survival in the Netherlands. Octogenarians were 
      less likely to have a normal left ventricular function during follow-up (48.3 vs. 
      66.7%). New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and recurrence rate of myocardial 
      infarction was higher among octogenarians.Conclusion. Technical success rate 
      during primary PCI was as good for octogenarians as in younger patients, but 
      30-day mortality, though acceptable, was higher among the elderly. After 30 days, 
      age-adjusted mortality was comparable in both groups. (Neth Heart J
