- W4302378081 abstract "The controversy surrounding the choice of a prosthesis for valve replacement in the elderly patient prompted me to review the performance of mechanical (Medtronic Hall [Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn.] and St. Jude Medical [St. Jude Medical, Inc., St. Paul, Minn.]) valves implanted in 213 patients 65 years and older (mean 70.4 years) from 1980 to 1985. There were 63 mitral, 131 aortic, and 19 double (aortic and mitral) valve replacements. Most patients undergoing aortic valve replacement had stenotic lesions, but half of the patients in the mitral valve replacement group had regurgitation with or without stenosis. Early mortality rates for mitral, aortic, and double valve replacement were 4.8%, 6.1%, and 21.1 %, respectively (p < 0.01). The mortality rate for patients 65 to 74 years old was 6.5% and that for those older than 75 years was 9.1%. The cumulative follow-up for the survivors was 850 patient-years. The late mortality rate was 8.1% per patient-year but was valve-related in only 1.3% per patient-year. Noncardiac causes accounted for 43.5% of the late deaths. The late mortality rate was significantly higher in patients who had regurgitant lesions than in those who had stenotic or mixed disease. It was also higher in the older patients (10.3% per patient-year) than in the younger group (7.6% per patient-year; p < 0.05). Reoperation was required in only six patients (0.7% per patient-year). Thrombotic obstruction of the prosthesis and systemic thromboembolism occurred at linearized rates of 0.6% per patient-year and 2.5% per patient year, respectively, and significant anticoagulant-related hemorrhage at a rate of 0.6% per patient-year. With the exception of late mortality, the incidence of all late complications was similar to that of patients younger than 65 years operated on during the same period. Actuarially, global survival (58% ±4%) and freedom from reoperation (95% ±2%), from thrombotic obstruction (96% ± 1%), from thromboembolism (92% ±2%), from all valve-related mortality and morbidity (82% ±3%), and from valve failure (93% ±2%) were also similar to those of the younger patients. Mechanical prostheses perform well in elderly patients. I could not confirm an increase in thromboembolic or hemorrhagic episodes, and the respective mortality and morbidity indexes were similar to those observed in younger patients." @default.
