Vascular Surgery and Geriatric Patients.
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine 2019 Februrary

Older patients may not have been offered vascular surgical intervention in the past because of prohibitive physiologic demands and poor health. Patients now have more aggressive management of vascular risk factors with medications, such as statin therapy, and less invasive endovascular or hybrid treatment options. Outcomes in elderly patients may not be comparable with younger patients for entities such as aortic aneurysm repair, carotid endarterectomy, or lower extremity revascularization. Despite this, desirable outcomes can be successfully achieved and should be offered to carefully selected elderly individuals.
