9 ‐month results of polymer‐free sirolimus eluting stents in young patients compared to a septuagenarian and octogenarian all‐comer population

ConclusionsIn octogenarians treated with PF‐SES, the rates for MACE, overall mortality, and bleeding are higher as compared to the younger age groups. However, the rates for TLR and ST were not significantly different across the investigated age groups. PF‐SES are safe and effective in octogenarians.
