AB  - Degenerative  valve  disease  is  the  most  common  form  of  valvular  heart  disease  in  the  United  States  and  as  the  population  ages,  clinicians  will  diagnose  and  manage  more  patients  with  this  condition.  Advances  in  surgical  techniques  have  led  to  a  greater  number  of  older  patients  undergoing  surgery  for  heart  valve  disease  with  improved  morbidity  and  mortality  risks.  The  decision  to  offer  surgery  to  the  older  patient  is  complex.  The  patient’s  preference  is  foremost  consideration  after  detailed  discussion  of  risks,  benefits,  and  goals  of  care.  A  multidisciplinary  team  approach  with  input  from  the  cardiac  surgeon,  anesthesiologist,  primary  care  clinician  and  cardiologist  is  key  to  achieving  desired  outcomes.
