Operacija srčne zaklopke in neuspešno okrevanje

Sigurno so se za operacijo zaklople odločili, ker so ocenili da bo to za pacienta samo boljše. Biti je moral tudi temeljito pregledan da je na operacijo sploh lahko šel. Za operacijo stenoze zaklopke leta praktično niso ovira. Pričakovana življenska doba pri tej starosti (v kolikor ni drugih hujših bolezni) je namreč še 6.22 let

Disease in Elderly Patients

Aortic stenosis occurs as a process of aging, and therefore, severe symptomatic disease often occurs in elderly patients. Although advanced age has been a risk factor for operative mortality in patients with aortic stenosis, these data must be interpreted with caution because increasing age is a risk factor for death in everyone. In other words, the life expectancy of an 80-year-old patient is ≈6 years, whether or not the patient has aortic stenosis. Several studies examining outcome in very elderly patients with aortic stenosis have been performed. Lindblom et al3 found that age-corrected survivorship for patients over the age of 65 was not different from that of a normal population. In general, most studies come to the same conclusion: that there is almost no age limit for aortic valve surgery in patients with aortic stenosis in the absence of comorbid conditions.27 However, once coronary disease, other valvular heart disease, neurological deficits, and renal failure are added to the clinical setting, outcome worsens, and these factors must be taken into consideration when deciding whether to correct aortic stenosis in elderly patients.
