80+: Coronary Angioplasty in Octogenarians With Emergent Coronary Syndromes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A multicenter, randomized clinical trial in elderly patients (over 80 years old) with unstable angina pectoris or Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
A total of 200 patients will be randomized to medical treatment (100 patients) or coronary angiography with revascularization if feasible (100 patients). Information regarding prior history, frailty, clinical presentation, in-hospital events, complications, angina, quality of life and mortality will be collected. Follow up time is 1 year.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (the composite of death, myocardial infarction, urgent revascularisation, recurrent hospitalization due to cardiac reason and stroke). [1 year]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with major bleeding [1 month]
- Number of participants with major adverse cardiac or cerebral event [1 month]
- Number of participants with minor bleeding [1 month]
- Number of participants with composite of cardiac death or myocardial infarction [1 year]
- Change from baseline of participants level of quality of life measured with the SF-36 questionnaire at 12 months [1 year]
- Change from baseline of participants level of angina pectoris at 12 months [12 months]
- Number of participants dead (all cause mortality) [1 year]
