Abstract
Aortic stenosis is the most common acquired heart disease, most commonly associated with increased overall life expectancy in the human population. According to the literature, the prevalence of aortic stenosis in people under 65 years of age is low, but it rapidly increases in patients over 80 years of age by 10%. At the same time, 1 out of 8 people over 75 years of age already have moderate or severe aortic stenosis. Despite the widespread use of endovascular cardiac surgery, surgical aortic valve replacement remains the gold standard in the treatment of aortic stenosis. In addition to hemodynamic, echocardiographic and other objective indicators, the assessment of the quality of life of patients after a surgical operation is also important and relevant. This descriptive review of the literature presents the results of surgical treatment of aortic valve stenosis in octogenarian patients (over 80 years old), analyzes domestic and foreign experience, and identifies the features of managing these patients in the pre- and postoperative period. The purpose of the review is to analyze the current state of the problem of surgical treatment of aortic valve stenosis in patients older than 80 years. In preparing this review, the sources of information presented in the databases MEDLINE, Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science were used.
