AI synopsis

What people are saying

Many comments cite the CARP trial directly, with phrases like 'oldie but a goodie' and references to how the study shapes current practice, reflecting a mix of respect and reconsideration of revascularization strategies. The tone is often analytical and reflective, emphasizing the trial’s importance and questioning the necessity of preoperative revascularization in light of evidence.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions reference the CARP trial's findings that preoperative revascularization does not improve outcomes, showing consensus among users.

InterestHigh interest

The posts demonstrate high engagement with the topic, recalling historical studies and discussing clinical implications.

EngagementModerate engagement

Participants actively reference previous studies, personal experiences, and clinical decisions, indicating meaningful engagement.

ImpactHigh impact

The repeated citation of the CARP trial and discussions on changing practices highlight a recognition of significant clinical and procedural impact.

Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated whether performing coronary artery revascularization before elective vascular surgery impacts long-term survival, finding no significant difference in mortality rates between those who had revascularization and those who did not.
  • Patients who underwent revascularization had similar post-surgery heart attack rates within 30 days compared to those who did not, indicating no short-term benefit in preventing cardiac complications.
  • Overall, the results suggest that routine coronary artery revascularization before elective major vascular surgery should not be standard practice for patients with stable heart symptoms, as it does not improve long-term outcomes.

OMT for now and if symptomatic can do PCI at a later date. But if you think DOE is an anginal equivalent, PCI 4 weeks DAPT and surgery probably safe too. https://t.co/UzBYxQsVvX

@keywordsxkenny Risk assessment is important for patient and surgeon to decide if the risk justifies the potential benefit of surgery. But only medical therapy lowers risk of patients with stable CAD (with the possible exception of severe left main CAD). https://t.co/pf9MYe72mv

@NeerajShahMD @OAB1967 @dmrind @Hragy @iSagarReddy @SchamarDoc @SVRaoMD @djc795 @NSablani There is no indication to do anything other than possibly start medical therapy. If revascularization doesn't improve outcomes prior to major vascular surgery, it's certainly not going to improve outcomes for less risky operations. https://t.co/qycJ2Ikaky

@cardiojaydoc02 @DavidLBrownMD We've known for years that prophylactic revasc. before non-cardiac surgery doesn't improve outcomes. However, burden of reversible ischaemia still gives some additional info regarding perioperative CV risk. The question is how to use that info. https://t.co/jqa3UDE63W
