Abstract:
A total of 498 patients underwent open-heart surgery in 2007 with 5 deaths (1%).There was no mortality in 248 patients who had de novo isolated coronary bypass surgery. Major mortality and morbidities were almost exclusively confined to patients over the age of 80 years. The development of new catheter based procedures such as aortic valve replacement is likely to decrease the complication rate and length of hospital stay in this high risk group of patients.
