Patients undergoing peripheral vascular surgery (PVS) are at increased risk of post-op MI/death due to unrecognized CAD. Coronary CTA-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) reliably identifies lesion-specific ischemia (LSI) in stable chest pain patients but has not been used in PVS patients. We
Pre-operative Diagnosis of Silent Coronary Ischaemia May Reduce Post-operative Death and Myocardial Infarction and Improve Survival of Patients Under…

Objective Patients undergoing peripheral vascular surgery have increased risk of death and myocardial infarction (MI), which may be due to unsuspected (silent) coronary ischaemia. The aim was to determine whether pre-operative diagnosis of silent ischaemia using coronary computed tomography (CT) derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) can facilitate multidisciplinary care to reduce post-operative death and MI, and improve survival. Methods This was a single centre prospective study with historic controls. Patients with no cardiac symptoms undergoing lower extremity surgical revascularisation with pre-operative coronary CTA-FFRCT testing were compared with historic controls with standard pre…
