Popis: Background : During the past 20 years (yrs), there has been a steady increase in concomitant aortic(AV) and mitral valve(MV) surgery in northern New England (NNE). We examined the in-hospital and long-term mortality for these patients by procedure, patient age and sex. Methods : This is a prospective, regional, cohort study of 1057 patients undergoing concomitant AV and MV surgery in NNE from 1989 through 2007. Long-term survival was obtained by linking our registry data to the Social Security Administration Death Master File. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were performed. Results : Patient characteristics: age Conclusions : Double valve open heart surgery has a high in-hospital mortality rate. Long-term survival was decreased by having a concomitant CABG, being female and being 70 yrs or older. Although short-term mortality was higher, median survival for patients ≥ 80 yrs was equivalent to that for patients 70–79 yrs.
