Abstract

The current guidelines on preoperative cardiac risk assessment in noncardiac surgery suggest risk stratification using the Revised Cardiac Risk Index and Myocardial Infarction and Cardiac Arrest Calculator by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. However, existing data demonstrate that using these scales is not always possible to assess preoperative risk correctly in vascular interventions in general, and in carotid endarterectomy in particular. The purpose of this review was to present and analyze currently available clinical models for perioperative cardiac risk assessment in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
