Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the lack of clear guidelines for preventive surgery of ascending aortic aneurysms in elderly patients by analyzing patient data and comparing outcomes with non-elderly patients.
- A total of 955 patients (724 non-elderly and 231 elderly) were examined, revealing that elderly patients had larger aortic diameters and more cardiovascular risk factors, but similar short-term mortality rates.
- Five-year survival rates were significantly lower for elderly patients (81.4%) compared to non-elderly patients (93.9%), indicating that while immediate surgical outcomes are comparable, long-term survival may be a concern for the elderly.
