What is Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients Seventy Years of Age and Older about?
Isolated coronary artery bypass grafting in patients seventy years of age and older ## Early and late results Increasing longevity makes the consideration of coronary bypass common in elderly patients. Seventy-jive patients 70 years of age or older undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for angina pectoris were compared to a control group of 75 patients under 70 years of age. The groups were matched for male:female ratio (46:29), previous infarction (28/75), unstable angina (27/75), and the requirement for preoperative intra-aortic balloon pumping (7/75). Patients under 70 years of age had an average preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) class of 3.0 ± 0.6 (SEM) and an average left ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 15.5 ± 0.8 mm Hg, compared to 3.3 ± 0.6 and 12.9 ± 1.1 mm Hg, respectively, for the older group. Average grafts per patient were 2.7 ± 0.8 in the younger group and 2.8 ± 0.1 in the older group. Overall operative mortality for patients under 70 was 4% (3/75) versus 12% (9/75) (p = 0.06) for patients 70 and older. The incidence of chronic stable angina was 2% (1/48) versus 6% (3/48) (p = 0.30). Perioperative infarctions occurred in 7% of those under
