A consecutive series of 96 septuagenarians (mean age, 74) and 24 octogenarians (mean age, 83) underwent coronary artery bypass (CAB) and valve operations using hypothermia and hyperkalemic cardioplegia in a 45-month period; there was a mean of 2.6 grafts per patient. Most patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV (57% of the septuagenarians and 88% of the octogenarians) preoperatively. The early deaths were 19% for septuagenarians and 37% for octogenarians; late deaths were 9% and 6%, respectively, after a mean of 25 months. Of 92 survivors, 78% of the septuagenarians and 87% of the octogenarians improved by one or more NYHA class postoperatively. Of 58 patients with combined CAB and aortic valve replacement, 12 (21%) died; of 38 with combined CAB and mitral valve replacement 19 (50%) died; 2 of 9 (22%) with combined CAB and double valve replacement died; and 2 of 11 (18%) with CAB and MV repair died. In comparison, of patients with isolated valve replacement in the same period, 2 of 30 (7%) in the AVR group died, 5 of 17 (29%) died in the MVR group, 2 of 7 (33%) in the DVR group died.
The risk of combined valve procedures and bypass surgery was significantly increased in the elderly and may warrant a less aggressive procedure, especially in the mitral position.
