Key result
Isolated CABG in octogenarians demonstrated a 30-day mortality of 3.1% and 5-year survival of 73.3%, with no significant change in 30-day mortality across three decades (p=0.49).
Why the study?
Despite the rapid growth of elderly patients presenting for CABG, long-term outcomes for patients over 80 years of age remain incompletely understood.
Population
1268 patients aged 80 and older undergoing isolated CABG at a single center
Comparison
Outcomes across 3 decades (1991–2000 vs 2001–2010 vs 2011–2022)
Design
Single-center retrospective review
Follow-up

Supports CABG in selected octogenarians; leaves open optimal selection and comparison versus medical therapy.

Isolated CABG can be performed in selected octogenarians with low perioperative mortality (3.1% at 30 days) and good long-term survival (73.3% at 5 years).
Weissman et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring CABG (n=1,268). Isolated CABG was evaluated on short- and long-term mortality (p=0.49). Isolated CABG in octogenarians demonstrated a 30-day mortality of 3.1% and 5-year survival of 73.3%, with no significant change in 30-day mortality across three decades (p=0.49).
