Zusammenfassung:Efficacy and safety of primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCI) in elderly patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have not yet been definitely established because these patients were usually excluded from large randomised trials. To evaluate in-hospital and one-year outcome after primary PCI in elderly patients, and to assess clinical characteristics of this group. The study population included 1061 consecutive STEMI patients, mean age 60.6+/-17 years, treated with primary PCI. Clinical characteristics and results of 127 patients aged > or = 75 years were compared to the younger group. Elderly patients were more frequently female (48.4 vs. 23.6%, p
