Postoperative Outcome of High-Risk Octogenarians Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Multicenter Observational Retrospective Study

Abstract: Purpose: Cardiac surgery in octogenarians with severely deteriorated functional status is increasingly common, but outcome data are still limited. The aim of this study was to compare postoperative outcome, survival, and quality of life of low-, medium-, and highrisk octogenarians undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: In all, 285 Czech octogenarians who underwent any cardiac surgical procedure between January 2011 and December 2012 were included in the study. Five out of all twelve national adult cardiac surgic… Show more

“…13 Older people usually have a number of comorbidities, so the risk of surgery is part of the overall risk. 14 By examining the underlying factors, a better understanding of the role of comorbidities and the distinct role of the aging process in increasing the risk of postoperative complications can be found.…”

“…9 Indeed, the risk of cardiac surgery in octogenarian has been reported to be extremely high. 10 To decrease the burden of age, alternative coronary artery bypass procedures have been developed with either off-pump CABG or minimally invasive approach. Meta-analysis studies comparing on- and off-pump CABG in octogenarians reported that in-hospital mortality, rate of stroke, and length of hospital stay were lower in off-pump CABG.…”

“…Cardiac surgery is the most common of thoracic surgery, more than 70 000 patients in Japan undergo cardiac surgery annually, 3 in particularly the absolute number of older patients undergoing cardiac surgery is increasing. 4 In the consideration of cardiac surgery for older patients, functional decline and the need for long-term care have received increasing attention as essential outcomes in recent years.…”
