Whether 80-year-old patients with diabetes and atherosclerosis can undergo cardiac bypass surgery needs to be further determined in the light of the patient’s condition such as liver and kidney function, cardiopulmonary function, and so on.
Cardiac bypass surgery is a major thoracic surgery and requires a high level of physical condition. The patient is 80 years old and has chronic cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, which makes him less tolerant to the surgery. However, whether he is able to undergo cardiac bypass surgery needs to be further examined in terms of his blood pressure, liver and kidney function, and cardiopulmonary function.
Conservative treatment is often recommended for 80-year-old patients, but the specific treatment plan needs to be judged by the doctor in conjunction with the patient’s actual condition.
