Troponin in Carotid Revascularization
Sponsor: University of Belgrade
Summary
Patients undergoing carotid revascularization procedures are at increased risk for the development of short- and long-term cardiac complications. Increased values of high-sensitive troponin may be useful in a timely selection of those patients. Still, contemporary literature doesn't provide enough data to answer the following questions: "Can high-sensitive troponin predict adverse cardiac outcomes perioperatively in carotid surgery?", "Should these cardiac biomarkers be routinely sampled in all patients undergoing carotid revascularization?" and "Can elevated levels of high-sensitive troponin preoperatively designate patients in whom the risk of surgical treatment (at a given moment) is greater than the benefit of the surgery?".
