AB  - One hundred fifteen patients over 65 years of age were operated on at our 
      institution for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The operative mortality 
      was 5% compared with an overall operative mortality of 2.5% in the last five 
      years for 1,500 persons with CABG. Increased risk factors included qualification 
      for New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV, ejection fraction of less than 
      35%, diffuse disease requiring more than five grafts, and age over 75 years. At 
      one year after operation, 81% of the patients were clinically improved, and the 
      survival rate was 91%. Patients over 65 years of age in NYHA classes II and III 
      with good left ventricular function requiring four or less bypass grafts appeared 
      to have an excellent prognosis both acutely and during a one-year follow-up 
      period.
