SpainBackgroung: As increasing the age of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the identification of main postoperative complications of this population and the evaluation of institutional outcomes is essential. We aim to describe our experience in CABG in elderly patients older than 80 years old comparing intraoperative and postoperative outcomes with younger population.Method: From January 1993 to June 2013, 3097 patients underwent consecutive emergency and scheduled CABG surgery. 1770 underwent on-pump CABG and 1327 off-pump CABG according to surgeonu00b4s criteria. Patients undergoing on-pump receiving other concomitant procedure and re-operations were excluded. Patients older than 80 years old were identified.Results. We identified 98 patients older than 80 years old (80-group) (mean age 82u00b13.5 years old) and 2957 younger than 80 years old (control group) (mean age 64.2u00b19.7 y.o.). Additive EuroSCORE was 8.4u00b14.8 and 4.6u00b14.6 (p
