Second-generation drug-eluting stents in the elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome: the in-hospital and 12-month follow-up of the all-comer registry.
CONCLUSION: This elderly patient population had an increased risk of in-hospital bleeding complications requiring blood transfusion and a higher risk of death at 12-month follow-up. The use of new-generation DES reduced the risk of MI in the elderly population. PMID: 27832467 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism as combination of different etiologies: an overlooked entity in the elderly.
We report the case of an elderly man who was diagnosed with tachyfibrillation secondary to hyperthyroidism. Thyroid hyperfunction was subsequently related both to previous amiodarone therapy (probably mixed form) and the recent use of iodinated contrast medium for computed tomography scan. Thyroid ultrasonography showed a plongeant multinodular goitre. After initial worsening, thyroid function improved slowly but progressively on high-dose thyreostatic therapy combined with steroid therapy; tachyfibrillation caused heart failure and a thrombus in the left atrium, and proved initially resistant to combined antiarrhythmic tr...
