Octogenarians Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Resource Utilization, Postoperative Mortality, and Morbidity

Conclusions: The results demonstrated that octogenarians undergoing CABG required increased resource utilization and had significantly higher morbidity, with increased incidence of postoperative renal failure, neurologic complications, and 30- day mortality. Age 80 years or older was an independent predictor of increased resource utilization, postoperative morbidity, and mortality.
