“…In our case series, in agreement with observations of other authors [24][25][26] , the incidence of complications was relatively low, but the tolerance to complications of a patient older than 75 years is lower than that observed in younger patients. Three factors were important in this series in regard to mortality: prolonged mechanical ventilation, orotracheal reintubation, and early reoperation.…”

“…1,2 Previous single-centre reports from Canada [3][4][5] and from abroad 1,2,[6][7][8] have concluded that elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery have worse outcomes than younger patients. In addition, these studies have reported higher costs and slower recovery for octogenarians undergoing CABG, a finding that has generated debate over the appropriate use of health care resources.…”

“…Stamou et al attributed higher operative mortality and morbidity to a higher rate of CHF and COPD, greater Canadian Cardiological Society class, lower ejection fraction, more severe coronary artery disease, higher percentage of female gender, and more urgent operations than their younger counterparts [1]. Also being more prevalent in octogenarians in the current study, congestive heart failure and renal dysfunction reportedly increase operative mortality [5,6].…”
