Abstract
In California, overall predicted mortality was unchanged for elderly patients between 2003 and 2008, but operative mortality significantly decreased for patients aged 75 to 84. Improvement for CABG patients aged 85 years or older was insignificant. The increase in the number of OPCAB patients was associated with decreased mortality for elderly patients.
