We aimed to evaluate the 10-year outcome of complete revascularization in older patients (aged \u226575 years) compared with younger patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with STEMI and multivessel disease were randomized to either culprit-only or fractional flow reserve-guided complete revascularization in the DANAMI-3\u2013PRIMULTI trial. This long-term sub-study stratified the included 627 patients by &amp;lt;75 years (517) and \u226575 years (110). The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, or any revascularization occurring during a median follow-up of 10.5 years. Of the older patients, 50 underwent complete and 60 culprit-only revascularization, and of the younger patients, 264 were completely revascularized compared to 253 who had culprit-only PCI performed.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>In the older group, complete revascularization showed no association with the primary outcome (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.82\u20132.03, P = 0.27). In contrast, complete revascularization was associated with a lower risk of the primary outcome (adjusted HR 0.68, 95% CI: 0.53\u20130.88, P = 0.003) in younger patients, primarily driven by a reduction in any revascularization (adjusted HR 0.60, 95% CI: 0.44\u20130.83, P = 0.002.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In patients aged \u226575 years, clear evidence of a long-term (10 years) benefit of complete revascularization was not demonstrated. However, the elderly subgroup was small with limited events, and the finding should be interpreted as inconclusive. In contrast, complete revascularization was associated with a 32% lower risk of adverse outcomes among younger patients, primarily driven by a reduction in repeat revascularization, without evidence
