Does advancing age influence the clinical outcomes of isolated coronary artery bypass surgery?
While elderly patients face higher operative mortality and morbidity during isolated CABG, they still achieve good long-term survival and angina relief.
Mohan et al. (2008) conducted a review in isolated coronary artery bypass surgery. Elderly age vs. Younger patients was evaluated on Operative mortality and multiorgan morbidity. Elderly patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass surgery had significantly higher operative mortality and multiorgan morbidity compared to younger patients.
