Echocardiography as Risk-Assessment for Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Major Vascular Surgery Patients

Patient with coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure and abnormal heart function undergoing major vascular surgery have a high associated high morbidity and mortality with myocardial infarction accounting for 33-50% of perioperative deaths. The prevalence of CAD in vascular surgery patients approaches 50%. Proper pre-procedure protocols to accurately assess patients and determine who may require further medical optimization prior to undergoing surgery help mitigate risk and improve outcomes. The investigators designed this study as a single center, retrospective cohort analysis to explore the association between ventricular (LV and RV function) and valvular (Aortic / Mitral / Tricuspid) function and expanded major adverse cardiac events (X-MACE).

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Major vascular surgery operation (e.g. CEA, open aortic repair, suprainguinal and infrainguinal bypasses, EVAR, TEVAR) captured in the UVA Vascular Quality Initiative database
  • Echocardiography within two years of index operation

Exclusion criteria

  • If patient had additional qualifying vascular procedure within 30 days of the index operation, this procedure was excluded

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Expanded Major Adverse Cardiac Events

    Time frame: In-hospital admission (within 120 days of index surgery)

    Composite outcome defined as any cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, post-operative CHF, or new dysrhythmias, all within the index hospital admission.
