Abstract
Objectives: The functional benefit of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in octogenarians has been well-proved; however, some doubts exist in reference to elderly patients with lower ejection fraction. AVR in this patient group is frequently not performed because of an overestimated risk and underestimated benefit. As such, the aim of this study was to evaluate operative mortality and mid-term outcome in this high-risk group of patients.
