Key result
Surgery for aortic stenosis in patients aged ≥75 years had a surgical mortality of 12.4%, with age, left ventricular failure, lack of sinus rhythm, and emergency status as independent predictors.
Why the study?
What are the predictive factors for surgical mortality in elderly patients (≥75 years) undergoing surgery for aortic stenosis?
Cohort (n=675)
What are the predictive factors for surgical mortality in elderly patients (≥75 years) undergoing surgery for aortic stenosis?
In elderly patients undergoing surgery for aortic stenosis, surgical mortality is 12.4%, and risk is independently predicted by advanced age, left ventricular failure, lack of sinus rhythm, and emergency status, supporting early intervention before heart failure develops.

Identified predictors may guide risk stratification in elderly AS surgery candidates; leaves open optimal timing in prospective studies.
Logeais et al. (1994) conducted a cohort in Aortic stenosis (n=675). Surgery for aortic stenosis was evaluated on Surgical mortality. Surgery for aortic stenosis in patients aged ≥75 years had a surgical mortality of 12.4%, with age, left ventricular failure, lack of sinus rhythm, and emergency status as independent predictors.
