Cardiac surgery in patients aged 80 years or older can be performed with acceptable early mortality and good 5-year survival, though emergency and mitral procedures carry higher risk.
Dalrymple‐Hay et al. (1999) conducted a cohort in Cardiac disease requiring surgery (n=242). Cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated on Early mortality. Cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass in patients aged ≥80 years resulted in an early mortality of 5.7% and a 5-year survival of 67.7%, with worse outcomes for emergency and mitral procedures.
