From January 1981 to December 1990, 204 patients between 70 and 81 years of age underwent aortocoronary bypass-surgery, and 20 patients age 80 years or older underwent valvular surgery. The operative mortality rate (30-day mortality) of aortocoronary bypass-surgery was 6.8%; actuarial survival rate at 1 and 5 years was 92% and 86%, respectively. The operative mortality rate of valvular surgery was 15%; actuarial survival rate at 1 and 5 years was 78.5% and 67%, respectively. The mean follow-up was 25 months. Most patients undergoing myocardial revascularization (71%) and all the patients undergoing valvular surgery were preoperatively in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III or IV, at the end of the follow-up in NYHA functional class I or II (95%). A rapid rise in the number of heart operations in the elderly is evident. It is associated with increased but acceptable operative risk. Longterm results and postoperative improvement of functional status are satisfactory.
