Background: Aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) sharing similar risk factors are associated with aging of the human population. Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine whether age affects clinical presentation, intraoperative management, and outcomes of patients who undergo simultaneous operations of aortic valve replacement (AVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: The study involved 452 consecutive patients aged 64.8 ± 8.2 years (range 38–79 years), who underwent combined AVR and CABG between 2005 and 2015. They were divided into three groups: Y (young; below the first quartile; n = 114), M (middle-aged; 58–71 years; n = 225) and E (elderly; above the third quartile; n = 113). Pre- and intraoperativ...
