[Cardiovascular risk in arterial vascular surgery reconstruction].
Perioperative cardiac complications can limit the outcome after major vascular surgery where the underlying severe coronary artery disease is considered to be the main source. We describe the results of a prospective study including 201 patients undergoing elective vascular surgery. After looking at the encouraging low complication rate (mortality 0.99%, non-fatal myocardial infarction 2.98%, cardiac complications 9.95%) we would recommend the discussed diagnostic strategy. Specialized and expensive cardiac testing should be reserved for a few cases.
