Five hundred twenty-eight consecutive patients aged 80 years and over (mean age, 83.1 +/- 2.7 years) underwent cardiac operations with hypothermia (mean, 21.9 degrees +/- 2.2 degrees C), hyperkalemic cardioplegia, and cardiopulmonary bypass in a 10-year period. Fifty-six percent of the patients were male. Preoperatively, 68% of the patients were in New York Heart Association functional class IV, and 31% were in class III. Among them, 303 patients had isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (group I), 132 had aortic valve replacement only or combined with CABG (group II), 42 had mitral valve replacement only or combined with CABG (group III), 31 had mitral valve repair and CABG (group IV), and 20 had double-valve procedure only or combined with CABG (group V). The 30-day or in-hospital mortality was 8.3% in group I, 4.5% in group II, 29% in group III, 23% in group IV, and 30% in group V. Total 30-day or in-hospital mortality was 10.6%. One-year and 5-year actuarial survival rates were as follows: group I, 82% and 62%; group II, 85% and 58%; group III, 61% and 37%; group IV, 56% and 19%; and group V, 63% and 15%. Total 1-year and 5-year actuarial survival were 79% and 54%. At follow-up (mean, 2 years), 70% of overall survivors reported that their general health had improved. Our experience demonstrates that for select patients aged 80 years and over with unmanageable cardiac symptoms, CABG and aortic valve replacement groups had better results in improving quality of life as compared with patients having mitral or combined procedures.
