title = "Comparison of frequency of hemorrhagic stroke in patients <75 years versus ≥75 years of age among patients receiving glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors during percutaneous coronary interventions",
abstract = "We identified 1,369 consecutive patients who received glycoprotein IIb/ IIIa inhibitors during 1,461 stenting procedures (2,382 lesions); of these, 240 (17.5%) were aged ≥75 years (253 procedures, 430 lesions). Very elderly patients (≥75 years) had similar in-hospital outcomes but a higher hemorrhagic stroke rate than patients aged <75 years.",
