AAA 26. Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery in Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Patients —Implications for Long-term All-Cause Mortality

Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is prognostically relevant myocardial injury due to ischemia that occurs during or within 30  days after noncardiac surgery and is known to be independently associated with 30-day mortality after intervention. Nonetheless, the long-term prognostic importance of MINS in vascular surgery patients is poorly described, and the prevalence of MINS in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) patients is unknown. Also, most studies use fourth-generation troponin T, which can have significant baseline increases in chronic kidney disease patients.
