Methods: One hundred sixty-four consecutive patients underwent vascular surgery and postoperative mortality was determined at 2.5 years. Troponins were drawn within 48 hours postsurgery and the peak levels, defined by the upper reference limit (URL), were categorized as negative (burl), low positive ( URL but b3 times the URL), or high positive ( 3 times the URL). A logistic regression model comprised all univariate predictors of long-term mortality and included peak troponin levels and the number of the preoperative revised cardiac risks. Results: Mortality in the high positive (n = 44), low positive (n = 41), and negative (n = 79) troponin groups was 46%, 17%, and 6%, respectively (P b.05). Independent predictors of long-term mortality were peak postoperative troponins (odds ratio [OR], 8.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], ; P b.001), tissue loss (OR, 2.87; 95% CI, ; P =.043), and use of statins (OR, 0.19; 95% CI, ; P b.001). The c index for peak troponin levels was 0.75 (95% CI, ; P b.01) and outperformed the Revised Cardiac Risk Index for predicting long-term outcomes. Corresponding author.

2 Peak postoperative troponin and long-term mortality after vascular surgery 67 Conclusions: Among patients undergoing vascular surgery, an elevated postoperative troponin level provides incremental value in predicting long-term outcomes, when compared with standard preoperative cardiac and surgical risks. Published by Elsevier Inc. Although patients undergoing vascular surgery are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications, a strategy of preoperative coronary artery revascularization is not recommended for most patients undergoing elective vascular surgery [1]. Improving outcomes in this high-risk patient group undergoing noncardiac operations will require novel strategies to address risk factor modification in the postoperative period. The potential value of serial troponin assays as a surveillance biomarker after major noncardiac operations is gaining widespread acceptance [2]. Although a peak troponin I level above the upper reference limit (URL) or the 99th percentile of a normal population is associated with a higher risk of death [3-5], the utility of troponin assays as an independent predictor of long-term outcome among patients undergoing vascular surgery has been uncertain [6]. Patients with advanced arterial occlusive disease and tissue loss tend to have a higher long-term postoperative risk of death, and their poor outcomes may be a result of factors independent of the cardiac risk profile [7]. To test whether an elevated peak troponin level provides incremental value in predicting long-term postoperative outcomes compared with standard clinical variables, we analyzed data from consecutive patients undergoing vascular surgery. We hypothesized that a peak troponin level at greater than or equal to 3 times the URL of the specific troponin assay would be an optimal discriminator of outcomes, compared with standard preoperative clinical risk variables, as enumerated by the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) [8]. Because perioperative use of statins protects in the early period after vascular surgery [9], we also tested whether statin use at the time of discharge would also predict long-term outcomes. Consideration of a higher threshold for an elevated peak cardiac biomarker is rational, based on the Consensus Statement from the Combined Task Forces on the Redefinition of a Myocardial Infarction (MI), which have recommended a high threshold of greater than or equal to 3 times the URL of troponins when considering the diagnosis of a procedural-related MI after coronary artery revascularization with either percutaneous coronary interventions or coronary artery bypass graft surgery [10]. 1. Methods 1.1. Study cohort The Institutional Review Board at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center approved the study. In the present cohort, we analyzed 164 consecutive patients undergoing vascular surgery between January 2005 and December 2007 and determined long-term outcomes based on presenting preoperative cardiac risk variables, perioperative vascular surgical characteristics, and postoperative cardiac troponin levels Troponin assays Blood was obtained in all patients in the first 2 days after vascular surgery, and the troponin I levels were measured by the Dade Behring Dimension Analyzer. The peak troponin I level was considered abnormal if it exceeded the URL, based on the 99th percentile of a normal population, as specified by the manufacturer guidelines. The lower limit of detection was 0.03 μg/l, and the 20% and 10% total imprecisions were determined at 0.1 and 0.3 μg/l, respectively. The 99th percentile normal reference concentration of the cardiac troponin I assay was predetermined at lower than 0.1 μg/l [11]. Those values that exceeded the URL were categorized as either low (+; URL but b3 times the URL) or high (+; 3 times the URL) Outcomes Long-term survival was determined from the time of the vascular operation and was retrieved through the BIRLS system (the Department of Veterans Affairs Beneficiary Information and Electronic Records Locator Subsystem) Statistics Continuous variables demonstrating a normal distribution are expressed as mean ± SD, and discrete variables are presented as frequencies and percentages. Continuous variables were compared between groups using the unpaired Student t test for normally distributed data or the Mann- Whitney U test for nonnormally distributed data. Proportions were compared with the χ 2 test. Medcalc version 11.3 (Mariakerke, Belgium) was used for statistical analysis. Clinical variables that might be associated with increased mortality at 2.5 years after vascular surgery were determined for all patients and included preoperative cardiac risk factors, perioperative vascular surgical variables, and postoperative troponin levels. A logistic regression model was created based on significant predictors of outcome and included preoperative cardiac risks, as estimated by the RCRI ( 3 risks) [8,12], advanced arterial occlusive disease
3 68 N. Marston et al. (tissue loss with nonhealing ulcers) [7,13], peak postoperative troponin levels ( 3 times the URL of the specific troponin assay) [10], and perioperative use of statins [9]. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are reported from this analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curves were also generated to assess how well either the peak troponin levels or the RCRI discriminate between survival and nonsurvival. The c index (area under the curve) and the 95% confidence intervals were provided for each parameter. All tests were 2-sided, with significant differences defined as P b Results Of the 164 patients, 32 (19.5%) died within 2.5 years of the operation. Eighty-five (51.8%) had a peak postoperative troponin value that exceeded the URL, and their long-term mortality was increased 36.4% compared with 6.3% in the 79 patients with a negative peak troponin level (P b.05). A peak postoperative troponin level that was greater than or equal to 3 times the URL of the troponin assay occurred in 44 (51.8%) of the patients with an elevated peak troponin level and constitute the high (+) group. As shown in Table 1, their long-term risk of death was at least 3-fold higher than the remaining patients. Compared with the low (+) and troponinnegative groups, the high (+) troponin group had a higher preoperative cardiac risk index as a result of a greater prevalence of ischemic heart disease and more advanced arterial occlusive disease as noted by a higher rate of tissue loss as the indication for vascular surgery. The preoperative clinical variables that were associated with a higher longterm postoperative risk of death were preoperative cardiac risk, as defined by an RCRI 3 risks and advanced arterial Table 1 Clinical predictors and outcomes based on peak postoperative troponin levels Clinical variables Negative (n = 79) Low (+) (n = 41) High (+) (n = 44) P Outcomes 1-y Mortality 1 (1.3) 3 (7.3) 10 (22.7) b y Mortality 5 (6.3) 7 (17.1) 20 (45.5) b.001 Preoperative variables Age (y) 66.1 ± ± ± RCRI ( 3 risks) 20 (25.3) 15 (36.6) 26 (59.1) b.001 Ischemic heart disease 48 (60.8) 30 (73.2) 38 (86).019 Congestive heart failure 8 (10.1) 4 (9.8) 13 (29.5).009 Cerebrovascular disease 14 (17.7) 5 (12.2) 9 (20.5).586 Insulin-dependent diabetes 13(16.5) 9 (22.0) 15 (34.1).080 egfr b35 2 (2.5) 0 2 (4.5).397 Ejection fraction (%) 53.4 ± ± ± Previous vascular surgery 23 (29.1) 8 (19.5) 18 (40.9).096 Hypertension 65 (82.3) 36 (87.8) 38 (86.4).684 Hyperlipidemia 59 (74.7) 32 (78) 34 (77.3).902 Chronic renal failure 10 (12.7) 6 (14.6) 8 (18.2).708 COPD 12 (15.2) 6 (14.6) 10 (22.7).506 Vascular surgical variables Urgent/emergent 8 (10.1) 1 (2.4) 7 (15.9).111 Tissue loss 15 (19.0) 10 (24.4) 18 (40.9).029 Endovascular stent 20 (25.3) 12 (29.3) 6 (13.6).191 Open abdominal aortic surgery 13 (16.5) 7 (17.1) 9 (20.5).850 Infrainguinal bypass 23 (29.1) 7 (17.1) 12 (27.3).343 Carotid surgery 14 (17.7) 7 (17.1) 2 (4.5).106 Amputation 9 (11.4) 8 (19.5) 15 (34.1).010 ECG measured postsurgery 68 (86.1) 33 (80.5) 42 (95.5).109 ECG (ischemic changes) a 11 (16.2) 4 (12.1) 11 (26.2).245 Perioperative β-blockers 61 (77.2) 30 (73.2) 39 (88.6).176 Preoperative statins 59 (74.7) 33 (80.5) 31 (70.5).563 Postoperative statins b 54 (68.4) 33 (80.5) 31 (70.5).361 Perioperative clopidogrel 9 (11.4) 7 (17.1) 5 (11.4).640 Perioperative aspirin 57 (72.2) 30 (73.2) 33 (75).943 Data are expressed as means ± SD or n (%).

We found that the optimal peak troponin level for predicting the long-term postoperative risk of death was greater than or equal to 3 times the URL of the specific troponin assay. Although the URL is a predetermined value defined by the manufacturer's estimate of the 99th percentile of a normal population, a higher threshold may be a more suitable measure for determining outcome in a cohort with a high prevalence of coronary artery disease. A threshold troponin level at greater than or equal to 3 times the URL has been advocated by the Combined Task Forces for the Redefinition of MI among those patients undergoing Alive at 2.5 Years Dead at 2.5 Years Fig. 4 Mean (±95% CI) peak troponin values relative to survival at 2.5 years after the vascular operation (P =.04). revascularization with either percutaneous coronary interventions or coronary artery bypass graft surgery [10]. Accordingly, a similar level may be suitable for considering an abnormally high biomarker after vascular surgery. Equally important was our observation that use of statins at the time of discharge was independently associated with a reduction in long-term postoperative mortality and extend previous observations that this class of drugs is protective in the early period after vascular surgery [9,14]. Although an elevated cardiac troponin level above the URL is an identifier of those patients with a poor outcome after vascular operations [4,5], the utility of routine surveillance with troponin assays for providing independent estimates of long-term postoperative outcomes has been uncertain [6]. Patients with vascular disease have at least a 50% probability of having significant coronary artery disease and therefore, comprise a heterogeneous cohort with variable long-term outcomes after surgery [15]. In the CARP registry involving more than 4500 nonrandomized patients, those patients who were excluded because of no cardiac risks had a 12% mortality at 2.5 years after vascular surgery compared with a 23% long-term postoperative mortality in the randomized cohort with documented coronary artery disease Table 3 Sensitivity-specificity curves for long-term postoperative risk of death Perioperative clinical variables c Index 95% CI P RCRI Peak troponin levels b.01 Postoperative statins b.01
6 Peak postoperative troponin and long-term mortality after vascular surgery 71 [7]. Although patients with significant obstructive coronary artery disease are known to have a higher risk of death both early and late after vascular surgery [16], randomized patients within both the CARP trial and the Decrease-V Pilot Study [17] did not demonstrate a long-term survival benefit with preoperative coronary artery revascularization [18]. Within the CARP trial, the findings from the randomized cohort were generalizeable to high-risk clinical subsets, defined by 3 or more revised cardiac risks and an abnormal preoperative stress imaging test [12] as well as high-risk anatomical subsets, defined by 3-vessel coronary artery disease [19].On the basis of these prospective randomized studies, the recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines do not advocate routine preoperative cardiac workups in the majority of stable patients scheduled for elective vascular surgery [1]. In the absence of sufficient data to justify aggressive interventions in the preoperative period, newer strategies should be devised for risk factor modification in the postoperative period after high-risk noncardiac operations. In a substudy of the CARP trial, in which all patients had serial blood samples drawn after vascular surgery, a peak postoperative troponin value exceeding the URL of the troponin I assay occurred in nearly one third of the patients and was not lower in patients who had undergone preoperative coronary artery revascularization [3]. In that study, the most important predictor of an elevated postoperative troponin level was an aortic cross-clamp procedure, demonstrating that the surgical stress related to the complexity of the vascular operation may be a more important determinant of postoperative outcomes than the extent of preoperative coronary artery disease. Beyond the immediate period after a vascular procedure, it is known that late outcomes are influenced by the nature of the presenting vascular problem, as demonstrated by Krupski and colleagues [13] nearly 2 decades ago. In support of the observations of Krupski et al, outcomes from the CARP registry showed that advanced arterial occlusive disease with tissue loss was a significant predictor of mortality at 2.5 years after vascular surgery, independent of the associated cardiac risks [7]. In the present study, tissue loss with nonhealing at presentation was a borderline significant identifier of poor outcome but less robust as an identifier of outcome than the peak postoperative troponin levels. These data demonstrate that when correcting for preoperative cardiac risks and the extent of advanced arterial occlusive disease on presentation, perioperative cardiac biomarkers remain the predominant identifier of long-term outcome. Although preoperative cardiac interventions do not improve long-term postoperative outcomes, the addition of pharmacological interventions before vascular surgery is an important consideration. Administration of β-blockers before vascular surgery reduces postoperative cardiac complications [20,21], and these drugs were used in nearly 80% of patients in the present cohort. It is not clear why all patients did not receive this therapy, but the protective effect of β- blockers may not be robust in all high-risk subsets undergoing noncardiac operations, particularly those individuals who may present with significant cerebrovascular disease [22]. Statins may have more promise for preserving at least short-term postoperative outcomes, as shown in both retrospective and prospective analyses [9,14]. In the present cohort, statins were used in the postoperative period in 141 (86.0%) of the patients, which was higher than the expected based on the prevalence of coronary artery disease in a heterogeneous group of patients undergoing vascular surgery [15]. When considering emerging evidence of proven benefit in the short-term postoperative period in the majority of patients, however, this may represent an underutilization of a therapy with proven benefit. An analysis of long-term outcomes after vascular surgery has shown that therapies with proven benefit are underutilized in patients with vascular disease on long-term follow-up [23]. The present study is supportive of this observation and shows that use of statins after vascular surgery is a significant predictor of long-term postoperative outcome, independent of standard cardiac and vascular surgical risks Limitations The population enrolled in this study is predominantly male. Although the proposed model for risk prediction only contains 3 variables, the possibility of over fitting should be considered given the relatively small number of observations. The predictive performance of these variables needs to be validated in different data sets Conclusions In a heterogeneous group of patients undergoing vascular surgery, perioperative peak troponin values and use of statins were significant independent predictors of long-term postoperative outcomes, when considering preoperative cardiac risks and presenting vascular surgical characteristics. Future studies should address whether additional strategies for risk factor modification in the postoperative period might improve outcomes in this high-risk cohort.
