Abstract
In the setting of non-cardiac surgery, cardiac complications contribute to over a third of perioperative deaths. With over 230 million major surgeries performed annually, and an increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and ischaemic heart disease, the incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction is also rising. The recent European Society of Cardiology guidelines on cardiovascular risk in noncardiac surgery elevated practices aiming to identify those at most risk, including biomarker monitoring and stress testing. However the current evidence base on if, and how, the risk of cardiac events can be modified is lacking. This review focuses on patient, surgical and cardiac risk assessment, as well as exploring the data on perioperative revascularization and other risk-reduction strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the present report, we have described the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical effects of coronary artery disease (CAD) for patients with asymptomatic bilateral carotid stenosis. METHODS We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients referred for bilateral carotid stenosis >70% (2014-2021). All the patients had undergone systematic coronary angiography. Depending on the anatomic and clinical characteristics, the patients had undergone combined carotid endarterectomy (CEA) plus coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary percutaneous intervention followed by CEA or carotid artery stenting (CAS), or staged bilateral CEA with cardiac best medical therapy. The cumulative 30-day stroke/myocardial infarction (MI) rate after cardiac and bilateral carotid interventions and long-term survival and freedom from cardiovascular mortality were assessed. RESULTS A total of 167 patients with bilateral carotid stenosis >70% had undergone preoperative coronary angiography, identifying severe CAD in 108 patients (65.1%). Echocardiographic abnormalities (odds ratio [OR], 2.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-5.78; P = .04) and prior coronary intervention (OR, 11.94; 95% CI, 2.99-63.81; P = .001) were significantly associated with severe CAD. CAD was treatable in 91 patients (84%) and untreatable in 17 (16%). The cumulative MI rate was 4.8%; 5.6% for the patients with severe CAD and 1.7% for those without severe CAD (P = .262). The cumulative stroke rate was 1.8%; 1.8% for those with severe CAD and 1.7% for those without severe CAD (P = 1.00). The overall stroke/MI rate was 6.6%; 8.3% for those with severe CAD and 3.3% for patients without severe CAD (P = .33). Patients with severe CAD deemed untreatable for coronary bypass or percutaneous intervention had a higher risk of perioperative stroke/MI (OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.00-2.83; P = .04). At 10 years, overall survival was 67.1% (95% CI, 57%-79%), and freedom from cardiovascular mortality was 78.5% (95% CI, 69%-89%). Patients with untreatable CAD maintained a higher risk of 10-year mortality (hazard ratio, 5.5; 95% CI, 1.6-19.9; P < .01). CONCLUSIONS In the present study, the prevalence of CAD in patients with bilateral carotid stenosis was high, especially for those with abnormal echocardiographic findings. CAD was potentially treatable in 80% of patients, and staged or simultaneous CAD treatment was performed with an acceptable stroke/MI complication rate for these patients. The presence of untreatable CAD was associated with worsened early and long-term outcomes, questioning the benefit of carotid interventions for this subset of patients.

Abstract
Polyvascular disease (PolyvascDis) with atherosclerosis occurring in >2 vascular beds (coronary, carotid, aortic, visceral and/or peripheral arteries) is encountered in 15-30% of patients who experience greater rates of major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. Every patient with multiple CV risk factors or presenting with CV disease in one arterial bed should be assessed for PolyvascDis clinically and noninvasively prior to invasive angiography. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can be readily diagnosed in routine practice by measuring the ankle-brachial index. Carotid disease can be diagnosed by duplex ultrasound showing % stenosis and/or presence of plaques. Coronary artery disease (CAD) can be screened by determining coronary artery calcium score using coronary computed tomography angiography; further, non-invasive testing includes exercise stress and/or myocardial perfusion imaging or dobutamine stress test, prior to coronary angiography. Abdominal ultrasound can reveal an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Computed tomography angiography will be needed in patients with suspected mesenteric ischemia to assess the mesenteric arteries. Patients with the acute coronary syndrome and concomitant other arterial diseases have more extensive CAD and poorer CV outcomes. Similarly, PolyvascDis in patients with carotid disease and/or other PAD is independently associated with an increased risk for all-cause and CV mortality during long-term follow-up. Treatment of patients with PolyvascDis should include aggressive management of all modifiable risk factors by lifestyle changes and drug therapy, with particular attention to patients who are commonly undertreated, such as those with PAD. Revascularization should be reserved for symptomatic vascular beds, using the least aggressive strategy in a multidisciplinary vascular team approach.

Abstract
Management of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) centers on medication to prevent myocardial infarction and death. Many anti-anginal medications also have benefit for reducing symptoms, and have been proven to be effective against placebo control. Before effective preventive medications were available, patients with stable CAD often underwent revascularization with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), on the plausible assumption that these procedures would prevent adverse events and reduce symptoms. However, recent randomized controlled trials have cast doubt on these assumptions.Considering results from the recent ISCHEMIA trial, we discuss the evidence base that underpins revascularization for stable CAD in contemporary practice. We also focus on patient groups at high risk of myocardial infarction and death, for whom revascularization is often recommended. We outline the areas of uncertainty, unanswered research questions, and key areas of potential miscommunication in doctor-patient consultations.

Abstract
Contralateral carotid stenosis (clCS) has been described as a perioperative predictor of mortality after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). However, its predictive value on long-term cardiovascular events remains controversial. The study aims to assess the potential role of clCS as a long-term predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients who underwent CEA. From January 2012 to July 2020, patients undergoing CEA under regional anesthesia for carotid stenosis in a tertiary care and referral center were eligible from a prospective database, and a post hoc analysis was performed. The primary outcome consisted in the occurrence of long-term MACE. Secondary outcomes included all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, and major adverse limb events. A total of 192 patients were enrolled. With a median 50 months follow-up, chronic kidney disease (CKD) (mean survival time (MST) 51.7 vs. 103.3, p<0.010) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) (MST 75.1 vs. 90.3, p=0.001) were associated with decreased survival time. After propensity score matching (PSM), CKD (MST 49.1 vs. 106.0, p=0.001) and PAD (MST 75.7 vs. 94.0, p=0.001) maintained this association. On multivariate Cox regression analysis, contralateral stenosis was associated with higher MACE (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.035; 95% CI: 1.113-3.722, p=0.021 and all-cause mortality (HR = 2.564; 95% CI: 1.276-5,152 p=0.008). After PSM, only all-cause mortality (HR 2.323; 95% CI: 0.993-5.431, p=0.052) maintained a significant association with clCS. On multivariable analysis, clCS (aHR 2.367; 95% CI: 1.174-4.771, p=0.016), age (aHR 1.039, 95% CI: 1.008-1.070), CKD (aHR 2.803; 95% CI: 1.409-5.575, p=0.003) and PAD (aHR 3.225, 95% CI: 1.695-6.137, p<0.001) were independently associated with increased all-cause mortality. Contrary to MACE, clCS is a strong predictor of long-term all-cause mortality after CEA. However, MACE risk may compromise CEA benefits by other competitive events. Therefore, further studies are needed to establish the role of clCS on postoperative events and on patients' specific assessments in order to determine the best medical treatment and easy access to surgical intervention.

Abstract
Multifocal arterial injury is common in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular complications and death. Administration of more intensive antithrombotic therapy, particularly combinations of acetylsalicylic acid and a "vascular" dose of rivaroxaban, in patients with multifocal arterial injury is characterized by a beneficial ratio of efficiency and safety due to a pronounced decrease in the risk of cardiovascular complications. Detection of peripheral artery diseases in patients with ischemic heart disease and atherosclerotic cerebrovascular pathology makes it possible to improve the risk stratification, optimize the diagnostic tactics and clarify indications for more intensive antithrombotic therapy.

Abstract
Multifocal arterial disease is common in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications and death. The possibility of improving the prognosis of patients with multifocal arterial disease is associated with a more efficient diagnosis of both the underlying disease and obstructive atherosclerotic lesions of other localizations and with a more intensive secondary prevention. According to observational studies, the presence of significant stenoses of the carotid arteries and, especially, lower extremities arterial disease can be predictorы of similar lesions in other vascular beds and their detection with screening methods available in clinical practice allows improvement of the diagnosis in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. On the other hand, screening of lower extremities artery diseases in patients with acute coronary syndrome can clarify indications for the use of invasive diagnostic and treatment strategy, in patients with chronic coronary artery disease it can justify more aggressive approaches to secondary prevention.

Abstract
Perioperative cardiovascular complications are important causes of morbidity and mortality associated with non-cardiac surgery, particularly in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Although preoperative cardiac risk assessment can facilitate the identification of vulnerable patients and implementation of adequate preventive measures, excessive evaluation might lead to undue resource utilization and surgical delay. Owing to conflicting data, there remains some uncertainty regarding the most beneficial perioperative strategy for patients with CAD. Antithrombotic agents are the cornerstone of secondary prevention of ischaemic events but substantially increase the risk of bleeding. Given that 5-25% of patients undergoing coronary stent implantation require non-cardiac surgery within 2 years, surgery is the most common reason for premature cessation of dual antiplatelet therapy. Perioperative management of antiplatelet therapy, which necessitates concomitant evaluation of the individual thrombotic and bleeding risks related to both clinical and procedural factors, poses a recurring dilemma in clinical practice. Current guidelines do not provide detailed recommendations on this topic, and the optimal approach in these patients is yet to be determined. This Review summarizes the current data guiding preoperative risk stratification as well as periprocedural management of patients with CAD undergoing non-cardiac surgery, including those treated with stents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A relationship between carotid stenosis and coronary arterial disease (CAD) is widely accepted; however, data on the exact prevalence of coronary disease in patients with severe carotid stenosis are lacking. Information on the prevalence and predictors of CAD among these patients could impact diagnostic and treatment approaches. AIM The primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of significant CAD among patients referred for carotid artery revascularization. The secondary objectives included characterizing the association between the level of advancement of carotid stenosis and the presence of CAD, and between atherosclerotic risk factors and the presence of CAD in patients with carotid stenosis, and also to determine whether there was a difference in the prevalence of CAD between patients with symptomatic versus asymptomatic carotid stenosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 200 patients with severe carotid stenosis, of whom 77 (38.5%) had symptomatic stenosis. All patients underwent coronary angiography no more than 6 months before the scheduled carotid revascularization. Of the 200 total of patients, 192 underwent carotid stenting, six underwent carotid endarterectomy, and two were treated conservatively. CAD was defined as stenosis of at least 50% on recent coronary angiography or a history of previous percutaneous coronary intervention and/or coronary aortic bypass graft; the prevalence was 77.5% among our patients. There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of CAD between patients with unilateral versus bilateral carotid stenosis or contralateral carotid occlusion. The difference in the severity of coronary disease, which was given by the SYNTAX score, was not significant between these groups. Factors associated with the presence of CAD were male sex, a history of smoking, and global or regional wall motion disorder on echocardiography. We did not find any significant difference in the prevalence of CAD between patients with symptomatic versus asymptomatic carotid stenosis. CONCLUSION We observed a very high prevalence of concomitant CAD in patients with severe carotid stenosis. The results of our study suggest that routine preprocedural screening for CAD in patients with carotid artery stenosis could identify a large proportion of patients with silent CAD; whether treatment for CAD before carotid revascularization can prevent periprocedural myocardial infarction should be addressed in a randomized-controlled trial.

Abstract
A careful and standardized but nevertheless individually adapted and targeted medical history and physical examination are essential components of a preoperative evaluation. The individual cardiovascular risk profile characterized by noninvasive diagnostics requires a targeted further assessment with noninvasive and invasive diagnostic investigations, which should be targeted to the medical needs of the individual patient. The aim is to assess the individual risk of undesired major adverse cardiac events (MACE). The preoperative examination procedures should be limited to the medically necessary needs in order to be able to optimally utilize the material and personnel resources. This review article presents a practical guide for preoperative cardiovascular risk evaluation in patients scheduled for elective, noncardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal treatment of significant atherosclerosis of the common carotid artery (CCA) is not well-defined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of prosthetic subclavian to carotid bypass for occlusive disease of the CCA. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 1994 to December 2015, 45 patients, mean age 67 years, underwent an ipsilateral subclavian to carotid bypass for occlusive disease of the CCA. Thirty-eight patients (84%) presented with neurologic symptoms, including transitory ischemic attacks in 29 cases and minor strokes in 9 cases. The graft material consisted of a 7 mm polytetrafluoroethylene conduit, and the distal anastomosis was done on the carotid bulb in 21 patients, on the internal carotid artery in 19 cases, and on the distal CCA in 5 cases. Median length of follow-up was 58 months. Study endpoints were the combined postoperative stroke/mortality rate, graft infection, overall late survival, freedom from ipsilateral stroke, and graft patency. RESULTS Postoperative stroke/mortality rate was 2%. No graft infection was observed throughout follow-up. At 60 months, overall survival, freedom from stroke, and graft patency were 71% (standard error [SE] = 0.07), 98% (SE = 0.02), and 95.5% (SE = 0.06), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Subclavian to carotid bypass allows very good patency rates and excellent protection from postoperative and late stroke, remaining a benchmark for any other treatment method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When the common femoral artery is not accessible for infrainguinal bypass grafting, the profunda femoris artery (PFA) can be a valuable alternative inflow source for distal arterial revascularization. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the results of infrageniculate bypass grafting via the PFA as inflow source for critical limb ischemia. METHODS Between 1994 and 2016, 68 patients, 51 men of a mean age of 74 years, underwent an infrageniculate arterial bypass grafting for critical limb ischemia, using the PFA as inflow site. PFA was exposed at the Scarpa's triangle in 38 patients (56%) and at its medio-crural segment in 30 patients (44%). The distal anastomosis was performed on the infragenicular popliteal artery in 33 patients (48%), the peroneal artery in 14 patients (20%), the tibioperoneal trunk in 8 patients (12%), the posterior tibial artery in 8 patients (12%), and the dorsalis pedis artery in 5 patients (8%). The graft material consisted of a reversed great saphenous vein (GSV) in 62 patients (91%) and a 6-mm polytetrafluoroethylene graft in 6 patients (9%). The median duration of follow-up was 51 months (range, 6-72 months). As main results, postoperative mortality and morbidity, overall late patients' survival, primary grafts' patency, and limb salvage rate were considered. RESULTS Operative mortality and morbidity were 3% and 4%, respectively. Overall patients' survival, primary patency and limb salvage rate, at 36 and 60 months were, respectively, 62% and 53%, 66% and 59%, and 92% and 77%. CONCLUSIONS The PFA, both exposed at the Scarpa's triangle and at mid-thigh, is an excellent inflow source for infrageniculate revascularizations. It should remain an important part of the technical armamentarium of vascular surgeons, even in the endovascular era.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has recently changed the status in the treatment of the extracranial carotid atheromasic disease. In recent years, evolution in both stents and protection devices as well as in carotid stenting techniques, has resulted in an important reduction in the rate of stroke in patients undergoing CAS procedures. Areas covered: The purpose of this article is reviewing the literature and summarizing the current evidence of the new available materials to underline the importance of the correct choice of the devices during the procedure. Expert commentary: Certainly a key issue in order to limit the periprocedural events to the lowest possible, is to select the appropriate device for the appropriate patient anatomy and clinical syndrome, the so called 'tailored approach'.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of symptomatic, chronic mesenteric ischemia is indicated to relieve symptoms and prevent acute ischemia and death. Current therapeutic options include endovascular and open surgery. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the results of bypasses to the superior mesenteric artery arising from the infrarenal aorta or infrarenal aortic grafts. METHODS From January 1999 to December 2016, 24 consecutive patients with a mean age of 61 years underwent a prosthetic bypass to the superior mesenteric artery. Nine patients (37%) presented with an associated clinically important stenosis of the celiac artery and 10 (42%) of the inferior mesenteric artery. Five patients (21%) received preoperative parenteral nutrition. Four patients (17%) underwent dual antiplatelet treatment. The donor site was the infrarenal aorta in 19 patients (79%) and an infrarenal, Dacron graft was used in 5 (21%). The origin of the bypass was from the distal infrarenal aorta or Dacron graft in 19 patients (79%) and from the proximal infrarenal aorta in 5 patients (21%). The graft material consisted of 7 mm polytetrafluoroethylene in 19 cases (79%) and 7 mm Dacron in 5 cases (21%). A concomitant bypass to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed in 4 patients (17%). The primary end points were postoperative mortality, morbidity, graft infection, late survival, primary patency, and symptom-free rate. The secondary end point was postoperative hemorrhagic complications. RESULTS No postoperative mortality occurred. Postoperative morbidity included a prolonged postoperative ileus in 4 patients (17%), transitory postoperative increases in serum creatinine concentrations in 3 patients (12%), and myocardial ischemia in 2 patients (8%). No postoperative hemorrhagic complications or graft infection were observed. Overall, the cumulative survival rate was 77% at 60 months. The overall late-patency rate and freedom from recurrence of symptoms were both 87% at 60 months. CONCLUSION Infrarenal aorta and infrarenal aortic grafts are an excellent source for the revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery. Bypasses to the superior mesenteric artery from the infrarenal aorta, either isolated or associated with adjunctive bypass to the inferior mesenteric artery, yield results that are comparable with those obtained with complete digestive artery revascularization using other donor sources.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of prosthetic carotid bypass (PCB) with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in treatment of restenosis after CEA or carotid artery stenting (CAS). METHODS From January 2000 to December 2014, 66 patients (57 men and 9 women; mean age, 71 years) presenting with recurrent carotid artery stenosis ≥70% (North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial [NASCET] criteria) were enrolled in a prospective study in three centers. The study was approved by an Institutional Review Board. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. During the same period, a total of 4321 CEAs were completed in the three centers. In these 66 patients, the primary treatment of the initial carotid artery stenosis was CEA in 57 patients (86%) and CAS in nine patients (14%). The median delay between primary and redo revascularization was 32 months. Carotid restenosis was symptomatic in 38 patients (58%) with transient ischemic attack (n = 20) or stroke (n = 18). In this series, all patients received statins; 28 patients (42%) received dual antiplatelet therapy, and 38 patients (58%) received single antiplatelet therapy. All PCBs were performed under general anesthesia. No shunt was used in this series. Nasal intubation to improve distal control of the internal carotid artery was performed in 33 patients (50%), including those with intrastent restenosis. A PTFE graft of 6 or 7 mm in diameter was used in 6 and 60 patients, respectively. Distal anastomosis was end to end in 22 patients and end to side with a clip distal to the atherosclerotic lesions in 44 patients. Completion angiography was performed in all cases. The patients were discharged under statin and antiplatelet treatment. After discharge, all of the patients underwent clinical and Doppler ultrasound follow-up every 6 months. Median length of follow-up was 5 years. RESULTS No patient died, sustained a stroke, or presented with a cervical hematoma during the postoperative period. One transient facial nerve palsy and two transient recurrent nerve palsies occurred. Two late strokes in relation to two PCB occlusions occurred at 2 years and 4 years; no other graft stenosis or infection was observed. At 5 years, overall actuarial survival was 81% ± 7%, and the actuarial stroke-free rate was 93% ± 2%. There were no fatal strokes. CONCLUSIONS PCB with PTFE grafts is a safe and durable alternative to CEA in patients with carotid restenosis after CEA or CAS in situations in which CEA is deemed either hazardous or inadvisable.

Abstract
The Canadian Cardiovascular Society Guidelines Committee and key Canadian opinion leaders believed there was a need for up to date guidelines that used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system of evidence assessment for patients who undergo noncardiac surgery. Strong recommendations included: 1) measuring brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal fragment of proBNP (NT-proBNP) before surgery to enhance perioperative cardiac risk estimation in patients who are 65 years of age or older, are 45-64 years of age with significant cardiovascular disease, or have a Revised Cardiac Risk Index score ≥ 1; 2) against performing preoperative resting echocardiography, coronary computed tomography angiography, exercise or cardiopulmonary exercise testing, or pharmacological stress echocardiography or radionuclide imaging to enhance perioperative cardiac risk estimation; 3) against the initiation or continuation of acetylsalicylic acid for the prevention of perioperative cardiac events, except in patients with a recent coronary artery stent or who will undergo carotid endarterectomy; 4) against α2 agonist or β-blocker initiation within 24 hours before surgery; 5) withholding angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin II receptor blocker starting 24 hours before surgery; 6) facilitating smoking cessation before surgery; 7) measuring daily troponin for 48 to 72 hours after surgery in patients with an elevated NT-proBNP/BNP measurement before surgery or if there is no NT-proBNP/BNP measurement before surgery, in those who have a Revised Cardiac Risk Index score ≥1, age 45-64 years with significant cardiovascular disease, or age 65 years or older; and 8) initiating of long-term acetylsalicylic acid and statin therapy in patients who suffer myocardial injury/infarction after surgery.

Abstract
Coronary revascularisation has been a topic of debate for over three decades in patients undergoing high-risk non-cardiac surgery. The paradigm shifted from routine coronary angiography toward stress test guided decision-making based on larger randomised trials. However, this paradigm is challenged by relatively newer data where routine coronary angiography and revascularisation is shown to improve perioperative cardiovascular outcomes. We review major studies performed over a long period including more contemporary data with regard to the 2014 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association as well as 2014 European Society of Cardiology guideline on perioperative cardiovascular evaluation of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The role of coronary angiography and revascularization, including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prior to noncardiac surgery remains poorly defined. The goal of preoperative angiography and PCI is improved risk stratification and ideally risk reduction of postoperative cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction (MI). By current guidelines, these procedures should be performed sparingly in high-risk stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and routinely in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Anatomic assessment of CAD by routine invasive angiography is discouraged, although noninvasive assessment may soon be possible. As prior trials have failed to show a clear benefit in outcomes, PCI should only be considered in patients with high-risk anatomic features. The ideal management of other anatomic disease discovered by angiography is currently unknown. Limited registry data suggest that PCI is used more frequently than recommended, although the features of these procedures remain poorly elaborated. In patients who do undergo preoperative PCI, careful attention must be paid to patient-specific factors including the nature and urgency of surgery and duration of dual antiplatelet therapy. In summary, substantial evidence gaps warrant further research in this important area.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Myocardial infarction (MI) is a frequent complication of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), yet most events are silent. Routine post-operative monitoring of cardiac troponin was implemented to facilitate timely recognition of MI and stratify high risk patients. The aim was to evaluate the incidence of troponin elevation after CEA and its association with adverse cardiovascular events. METHODS This analysis included patients ≥60 years old who underwent CEA, whose troponin-I levels were routinely monitored post-operatively and were included in a cohort study that assessed clinical outcomes. A clinical troponin cutoff of 60 ng/L was used. The primary endpoint was the composite of MI, stroke, and cardiovascular death. Secondary endpoints were MI, stroke, coronary intervention, cardiovascular death, and all cause death. RESULTS 225 consecutive patients were included in the analysis. Troponin elevation occurred in 34 patients (15%) and a post-operative MI was diagnosed in eight patients. After a median follow up of 1.8 years (IQR 1.0-2.6), the primary endpoint occurred in 29% of patients with troponin elevation versus 6.3% without (HR 5.6, 95% CI 2.4-13), MI in 24% versus 1.6% (HR 18.0, 95% CI 4.7-68), stroke in 5.9% versus 4.2% (HR 1.4, 95% CI 0.3-6.7), coronary intervention in 5.9% versus 2.6% (HR 2.7, 95% CI 0.5-14), cardiovascular death in 5.9% versus 0.5% (HR 11.8, 95% CI 1.1-131), and all cause death in 15% versus 5.8% (HR 3.0, 95% CI 1.0-8.7), respectively. Incidences of the primary endpoint and all cause mortality in patients with a post-operative MI versus "troponin only" were 25% versus 7.7% and 25% versus 12%, respectively. CONCLUSION Troponin elevation after CEA occurred in 15% of patients. The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events was significantly higher in patients with troponin elevation, which was mainly attributable to silent non-ST segment elevation MIs that occurred in the early post-operative phase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The benefit of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is directly influenced by the risk of perioperative adverse outcomes. However, patient-level risks and predictors including coronary stenosis are rarely evaluated, especially in Asian patients. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the vascular risk factors underlying CEA, including coronary stenosis, and postoperative outcome. METHODS One hundred and fifty-three consecutive CEAs from our hospital records were included in this analysis. All patients underwent coronary computed tomography angiography before CEA. Data were analyzed to determine the vascular outcomes in patients with mild-to-moderate vs. severe coronary stenosis and high vs. standard operative risk, based on the criteria for high operative risk defined in the Stenting and Angioplasty with Protection in Patients at High Risk for Endarterectomy (SAPPHIRE) trial. The vascular outcome was defined as the occurrence of postoperative (≤30 days) stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), or death. RESULTS An adverse vascular outcome occurred in 8 of the 153 CEAs, with 6 strokes, 2 MIs, and 3 deaths. The vascular outcome differed significantly between the groups with mild-to-moderate and severe coronary stenosis (p=0.024), but not between the high- and standard-operative-risk groups (stratified according to operative risk as defined in the SAPPHIRE trial). Multivariable analysis adjusting for potent predictors revealed that severe coronary stenosis (odds ratio, 6.87; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-39.22) was a significant predictor of the early vascular outcome. CONCLUSIONS Severe coronary stenosis was identified herein as an independent predictor of an adverse early vascular outcome.

Abstract
Patients with peripheral artery disease are at high risk of coronary artery disease. An increasing number of studies show that a large proportion of patients with peripheral artery disease have significant coronary atherosclerosis, even in the absence of symptoms. Although the reported prevalence of subclinical coronary artery disease varies widely in patients with peripheral artery disease, it could include more than half of patients. No consensus exists to date on either the rationale for screening patients with peripheral artery disease for coronary atherosclerosis or the optimal algorithm and method for screening. An increasing number of imaging modalities are emerging that allow improved in vivo non-invasive characterization of atherosclerotic plaques. These novel imaging methods may lead to early detection of high-risk vulnerable plaques, enabling clinicians to improve risk stratification of patients with peripheral artery disease, and thus paving the way for individualized therapy.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is sometimes performed with the intent to lower cardiovascular risk before high‐risk noncardiac surgery (HRNCS). There are limited data on the frequency and outcome of PCIs performed in this setting. Methods and Results We assessed the frequency, characteristics, and in‐hospital outcomes of patients undergoing PCI as part of the preoperative workup for HRNCS among all 61 145 elective PCIs performed between 2002 and 2009 at 14 hospitals in the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium. Propensity matching was performed to compare outcomes of patients undergoing PCI before HRNCS with all other elective PCI patients. The frequency of PCI before HRNCS was low (4.2%). Patients undergoing PCI before HRNCS were older (67.3 versus 64.9 years, P<0.0001) and had a greater burden of comorbidity. Patients undergoing PCI before HRNCS had an increase in unadjusted major adverse cardiovascular events, postprocedure transfusion, contrast‐induced nephropathy, nephropathy requiring dialysis, and same‐admission coronary artery bypass graft surgery, but there was no difference in mortality (0.27% versus 0.14%, P=0.11). However, in propensity score–matched samples, there was a significant difference only in nephropathy requiring dialysis. Conclusions The incidence of PCI performed in preparation for high‐risk noncardiac surgery is low, and these procedures are currently being performed on a highly selected high‐risk patient population.
