What patients are too old to have aortic valve surgery?

Aortic Valve: Age is only one aspect when determining if someone can safely have aortic valve replacement. Other factors than age include overall condition, lung function, presence of other problems (diabetes, copd, kidney function/failure, dialysis, bleeding, anemia, heart function/failure). Age in general increases risk across the board.

Depends: It depends more on the patients underlying health rather than age. There are 60 year olds who will do poorly and 80 year olds who do well. It depends on the individual.
