Abstract
The increase in life expectancy as a result of therapeutic improvements subsequently leads to a large number of patients with advanced age. The aim of this study was to review the 30-day mortality and mid-term outcome of octogenarians undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or valve replacement (AVR/MVR).
