What is Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients 80 Years of Age and Olden Short - and Long-Term Results about?

The study analyzes the outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in 1100 patients aged 80 and older, revealing a 30-day mortality rate of 6.6% and actuarial survival rates of 89%, 79.3%, 68.7%, and 45.8% at 1, 3, 5, and 8 years, respectively. Most early deaths were cardiac-related, while late deaths were primarily due to non-cardiac causes such as malignancy and stroke. The findings suggest that AVR in octogenarians can yield satisfactory early outcomes and moderate medium-term survival benefits.
