To analyze outcome in elderly patients after surgical repair of the ascending aorta and the aortic arch as compared with their younger counterparts and to determine risk factors of mortality and permanent neurologic injury. Patients and methods Between January 1995 and February 2003, a total of 369 patients underwent ascending aortic and arch repair. Indications for surgical intervention were acute type A dissections in 174 (47%) patients (<75 years, n = 147; > or =75 years, n = 27) and chronic atherosclerotic aneurysms in 195 (53%) patients (<75 years, n = 168; > or =75 years, n = 27). Emergency surgery was performed in 167 (45%) patients; 202 patients (54.7%) underwent surgery requiring deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Pre- and intraoperative factors were evaluated by means of stepwise logistic regression analysis to determine risk factors of mortality and permanent neurologic injury.
