Key result
Preoperative routine coronary angiography in elective abdominal aortic aneurysm patients revealed significant coronary artery stenosis in 40% of cases, including 24% with asymptomatic ischemic heart disease.

Does routine preoperative coronary angiography prevent perioperative cardiac events in patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery?
Routine preoperative coronary angiography in elective AAA patients detects a high rate of asymptomatic ischemic heart disease, allowing for tailored perioperative management to prevent cardiac events.
Routine angiography detects high rates of asymptomatic CAD in elective AAA patients; leaves open whether it prevents perioperative cardiac events.
