Keywords: Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) and Coronary

Background:
The clinical benefit in elderly patients remains unclear with current literature yielding conflicting results. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association of complete versus culprit only revascularization with mortality in elderly patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods:
A literature search was conducted for studies reporting on outcomes after complete versus culprit only PCI in elderly patients with multivessel CAD presenting with ACS. The primary end-point was all-cause mortality. The secondary endpoint was cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Databases searched included Pubmed, EMBASE, and Web of Science.

Results:
13 studies with 10,549 patients met inclusion criteria. Mean follow-up was 29 months (ranging 12 to 56 months), mean age was 80 years old, mean ejection fraction was 55%.

Patients who underwent complete revascularization had significantly lower all-cause and CV mortality compared to culprit-only revascularization (OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.4-2.28; p<0.01; OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.08-3.01; p=0.02).

Subgroup analysis demonstrated the association between complete revascularization and all-cause mortality was not significant in studies of only patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.61-1.72; p=0.92).

Conclusions:
Complete coronary revascularization is associated with lower risk of all-cause and CV mortality in elderly patients with multivessel CAD presenting with ACS. However, there may be differences in this association between patients presenting with with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction compared to patients presenting with STEMI.
