Abstract Background: Elderly patients with aortic stenosis are under-referred for aortic valve replacement surgery. This study investigated the perioperative factors associated with midterm outcomes in a consecutive series of patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with or without coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods: From 2006 to 2010, 509 patients having aortic valve replacement or aortic valve replacement with coronary artery bypass were grouped according to age (
