[Results of surgical treatment of calcified aortic valve stenosis in 80-year-old patients].
The authors discuss surgical treatment of 67 patients for aortic stenosis in 1978-1988. Their ages ranged form 80 to 90 years. In a relatively low operative risk (8.9% mortality) the results provide evidence of marked improvement both in the functional condition (96% of patients are related to the NYHA classes I and II) and in survival (3-year survival 78.2%). The results of balloon valvuloplasty were much poorer. The indications for aortic valvuloplasty are very limited and determined with difficulty.
