Periprocedural Safety of Interventional Electrophysiological Procedures in Octogenarians and Nonagenarians
Invasive EP procedures in octogenarians and nonagenarians are feasible, however a significantly higher incidence of minor periprocedural complications and a trend toward more severe complications and intrahospital fatalities were observed compared to younger patients. These findings support an individual risk-benefit assessment for elderly individuals before invasive EP treatments are conducted.
