    Summary

    Coronary artery bypass surgery shows increased risk in elderly patients, particularly women over 70. Careful patient selection is crucial for this cardiac procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has a long history, but optimal indications, especially for elderly patients, remain debated.
    • Patient demographics and outcomes for CABG have evolved, necessitating updated risk assessments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the operative mortality and risk factors associated with coronary artery revascularization in different age and sex groups.
    • To analyze outcomes in patients over 70 undergoing CABG, identifying specific risk factors for mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 2,667 patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization between 1974 and 1980.
    • Stratification of patients by age (<70 and ≥70 years) and sex.
    • Analysis of risk factors including smoking, diabetes, and pulmonary artery pressures.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was 3.8%, decreasing to 1% in the last year of the study.
    • Patients ≥70 years had significantly higher mortality (10.5%) compared to those <70 years (3.5%).
    • Women experienced higher mortality than men, especially in the ≥70 age group (28.6% vs. 6%).

    Conclusions:

    • Coronary artery revascularization is feasible in men <70 with acceptable risk.
    • Elderly patients (≥70) face a twofold increase in mortality risk, requiring careful selection.
    • Women, particularly those ≥70, have a significantly higher operative risk and necessitate stringent selection criteria for CABG.
