One hundred and forty aortic valve replacements (AVR) performed between 1986 and 1995 at Rouen University Hospital in octogenarians (52 men and 88 women), including 9 emergency procedures, were analysed. One hundred and fifteen patients had pure aortic stenosis, 25 had mixed aortic valve disease with mainly aortic incompetence. The surgical decision was taken by the patient with the surgeon after an interview, in order to exclude too handicapped or undecided patients. Significant coronary artery disease was observed in 42% of cases. Isolated AVR was undertaken in 74% of cases and associated coronary bypass surgery in 23% of cases. Bioprostheses were used in 90% of cases. The valvular lesions were predominantly those of Monckeberg disease. The operative mortality was of 13 patients (9.3%). Functional recovery was satisfactory in 78% of cases; the average duration of the hospital stay was 12 days. All known risk factors for AVR: age, coronary lesions, cardiac failure, low ejection fraction, aortic regurgitation, were associated with insignificant increases in mortality. The secondary mortality was of 28 patients; 99 patients are still alive 4 to 91 months after surgery. The actuarial survival graph showed a 56.5% probability of 5 year survival. Eighty per cent of survivors live at home without loss of autonomy. |
