ABSTRACT
A retrospective study included 171 patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention between 2019 and 2023. Elderly and long-lived patients with ST-ECS and NSTE-ACS are characterized by significant comorbidity, with significantly more severe coronary pathology, as measured by the Syntax Score. In-hospital and long-term mortality were significantly higher in patients over 75 years of age. However, the incidence of late stroke and bleeding did not differ statistically between the study groups. Patients 75 years and older are a complex, heterogeneous group with a very high risk of in-hospital and long-term mortality, requiring a balanced and individualized approach from medical personnel at all stages of treatment.
