Abstract
long-term survival and favor functional recovery. Severe comorbidities are common in this population and may negatively affect survival after surgery. Severe aortic stenosis has been reported in 5-10% of patients with hip fracture, however its prognostic relevance on hospital survival and midterm mortality is controversial. Patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction patient and subject with other severe comorbidities are at particular high risk when they need to undergo major non cardiac surgery. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty may decrease pressure overload and perioperative risk.
