Abstract:
We have experienced 351 cases of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients 70 years of age or older (107 cases: 75 years of age or older, 26 cases: octogenarians), among 1,395 cases of all coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Estimated hospital death rate 4.8% seemed to be satisfactory.
