Abstract
In our analysis, OG who received PPCI for STEMI have disproportionately higher one year all cause mortality compared to younger age group. Use of femoral arterial access appears to be independently associated with this excess mortality. Radial access preferred to be the safer and prime option in this high risk population and warrants further investigations.
