Description
Summary:The purpose of the present study was to clarify the safety and efficacy of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in addition to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in octogenarians with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing PCI. Method and ResultWe examined consecutive 360 AF patients registered at 8 medical centers who took DAPT or OAC + DAPT at the time of PCI. Octogenarians (n=77) were compared with those of younger patients (n=283). In octogenarians, acute coronary syndrome (octogenarians vs. younger patients = 54.6% vs. 37.4%) was more common and diabetes (32.5% vs. 45.6%) and usage of drug-eluting stent (58.4% vs. 73.1%) were less common (P
