Cardiac Surgery in Nonagenarians Following the TAVI/TMVI Era: A Multicenter 23-Year Comparative Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062177. [PMID: 36983179 PMCID: PMC10054800 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12062177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Studies reporting on the outcome of 90-year-old patients undergoing cardiac surgery are scant in literature; and currently, those regarding the implementation of trans-catheter techniques number even fewer. Methods: We compared patients aged >89 years operated on between 1998 and 2008 at 8 Italian cardiac surgery centers, with patients of the same age operated on between 2009 and 2021. All of the patients were operated on with “open” surgery, with the exclusion of percutaneous valve repair/implantation procedures. Results: The patients of the two groups (group 98-08—127 patients, and group 09-21—101 patients) had comparable preoperative risk factors in terms of the LogEuroSCORE (98-08: 21.3 ± 6.1 vs. 09-21: 20.9 ± 11.1, p = 0.12). There was a considerable difference in the type of surgery (isolated valve, isolated coronary, and combined surgery, 46.5, 38.5, and 15% vs. 52, 13, and 35% in 98-08 and 09-21, respectively, p = 0.01). Analogous operating durations were recorded (cross-clamp time: 98-08: 46 ± 28 min vs. 09-21: 51 ± 28 min, p = 0.06). The number of packed bypasses was lower in 09-21 (1.3 ± 0.6 vs. 2.4 ± 1.2, p = 0.001). In the postoperative period, there was a statistically significant difference in the 30-day survival in favor of the “more recent” patients (98-08: 17 deaths (13.4%) versus 09-21: 6(5.9%); p = 0.001), also confirmed in the subgroups (12.2% vs. 0% in isolated coronary surgery, p < 0.001; and 12.3% vs. 0% in isolated valve surgery, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Accurate pre-, intra-, and post-operative evaluation/management to reduce biological impacts facilitate significant improvements in the outcomes in nonagenarian patients when compared to the results recorded in previous years.

Abstract
The still unchanged high morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing complex cardiac surgical procedures as well as developments in minimally invasive cardiac surgery are not only an ongoing challenge for all working in cardiac anaesthesia but also a chance for further developing this anaesthetic subdiscipline. Alongside the presentation of a case report, the present article gives an overview about recent developments in inotropic therapy, monitoring, the rational use of mechanical circulatory support, volume therapy, sedation, analgesia, and point-of-care coagulation monitoring in cardiac anaesthesia.
