Aortic valve replacement in octogenarians

Performance of euroscore ii compared with its predecessors in octogenarian patients undergoing aortic valve replacement

Background/Introduction Logistic EuroSCORE overestimates the risk profile of octogenarians undergoing aortic valve replacement by traditional surgery. EuroSCORE II, that was created in an attempt to improve this previous version, has been evaluated in the general population. However, to our knowledge, there are no studies evaluating the predictive performance of EuroSCORE II in the elderly popu...

Comparison of Pre- and Post-Operative Characteristics in Octogenarians Having Isolated Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Before versus After Introduction of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Improvements in quality of life in septuagenarians versus octogenarians undergoing trans-catheter aortic valve replacement

BACKGROUND Very elderly patients represent a distinct patient group in clinical setting in terms of a decision for trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) when one considers the potential improvement in the quality of life (QoL) on one hand and the benefit to risk ratio on the other. This study aimed to compare functional and QoL outcomes of TAVR between octogenarians and septuagenarians...

Cardiac surgery in octogenarians; peri-operative outcome and long-term results.

AIMS Because the elderly are increasingly referred for operation, we reviewed the results of cardiac surgery in patients of 80 years or older. METHODS AND RESULTS Records of 182 consecutive octogenarians who had had cardiac operations between 1992 and 1998 were reviewed. Follow-up was 100% complete. Seventy patients had coronary grafting (CABG), 70 aortic valve replacement, 30 aortic valve re...

Sleep in octogenarians during the postoperative phase after transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement

BACKGROUND Octogenarians with aortic stenosis are an increasing population of patients admitted for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Although adequate sleep is important after illness and surgery, it has scarcely been studied in the immediate postoperative phase. AIMS To determine and compare the nature of self-reported sleep and inso...

Aortic Valve replacement with Reduction Aortoplasty with Mesh Prosthesis in 75 years old with Sever aortic Regurgitation with Aortic Aneurysm

Although classic and standard procedure for patients with ascending Aorta aneurysm with Sever aortic Regurgitation is Bentall surgery but in some selected cases this complex surgery was not performed with different reason like advanced age and coexisting comorbidity involving renal and hepatic and lung Function. In our cases 75 years old man with chronic renal failure ( Cr= 3.2 ) who was known ...
