AbstractRacial difference and small stature have been reported to account for a smaller coronary vessel size in Chinese. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in small vessels and in the elderly are associated with a higher complication rate. The in-hospital and long-term clinical outcome of PTCA in octogenarian Chinese is unknown. This article is an abstract of a paper which reports on a related observation.
