As a result of the increased life expectancy, elderly with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) referred to coronary catheterization facilities for emergency percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) increase in numbers. Whereas PCI has proven effective in this setting, management of elderly with ACS remains a challenging issue. Concerns about benefit-risk ratio include physiological age and associated co-morbidities such as renal and/or cognitive impairment.
