Key result
Methodological concerns challenge prior temporal trend analyses of perioperative MI following high-risk vascular surgery.
Why the study?
Temporal trends in perioperative myocardial infarction after high-risk vascular surgery require further investigation to understand evolving risks and outcomes.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Methodological reservations urge caution interpreting prior perioperative MI trends; leaves open validity of reported temporal changes after vascular surgery.
To the Editor The article by Juo et al1 addresses the important issue of temporal trends in perioperative myocardial infarction after high-risk vascular surgery. We congratulate the authors on their contribution; however, we have some reservations concerning the methods of this study.
