The general impact of hyperglycemia on the diagnostic performance of FDG-PET/CT is probably less in infection/inflammation than in malignancy. Patient preparation may reduce physiologic FDG uptake, but recommendations are less established than in malignancy. Local implementation of various patient preparatory measures should reflect the specific patient population and indications. This article outlines some of the challenges with physiologic FDG distribution, focusing on infectious and inflammatory diseases, and potential countermeasures and patient preparation to limit physiologic uptake before scan. AIM To expose our center results in the angioplasty in nonagenarians and to evaluate its effectiveness but also the MACEs and the mortality in the short and long term. METHODS A retrospective study of 98 patients admitted to the Antibes hospital center from November 2013 to September 2018. RESULTS The median age was 91.8 [90.8-93.4]. 52.6% was male. 9.7% of the patients had a polyvascular site. 50.6% of patients had moderate renal failure. The radial approach was used in 88.4% of cases. 21.6% of patients had tri-truncal lesions, while 46.4% were monotruncular, LAD artery was the culprit artery in 67% of cases. One stent per lesion was used in the majority of cases. Our successful rate was 90%. After angioplasty, 96% of the patients underwent double antiaggregation platelet therapy, 74.4% under clopidogrel. The presence of arrhythmias before angioplasty, the femoral approach, the coronary dissection and cardiogenic shock after angioplasty were predictors of short- and long-term mortality. Diabetes, history of myocardial infarction, impaired left ventricular ejection fraction, calcified coronary lesions, occurrence of arrhythmias or signs of heart failure
