Popis: Abstract Because of the lack of specific recommendations concerning cardiac risk stratification before vascular surgery, appropriate decisions remain individual. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the perioperative cardiac management in vascular surgery in Germany. Methods This article is based on a survey from 2018 of heads of German vascular surgical departments or units regarding their experience with perioperative cardiac management. The questionnaire asked about the experience with preoperative cardiac evaluation and its extension, awareness of perioperative myocardial ischemia, the art of postoperative monitoring and the routine use of the best medical treatment. Results In total, 62% of responders agreed that perioperative myocardial ischemia is a relevant postoperative problem in their clinic after open abdominal aortic surgery, while 47% stated the same after vascular surgery (VS) like carotid endarterectomy, peripheral arterial surgery or EVAR. Preoperative cardiological evaluations are performed routinely by 87% of responders before open abdominal aortic surgery and by 42% before VS. Preoperative cardiac evaluation included cardiac echography in 92% and stress diagnostics (stress echography, stress ECG) in 38%. Routine preoperative cardiac catheterisation is performed in 4% before OAS and only 0.5% before VS. In addition, 79% of participants initiate acetylsalicylic acid routinely and 68% use statins preoperatively. The serum troponin diagnostic test in asymptomatic patients was routinely applied by 19% of responders after OAS and by 6% after VS. Conclusion Perioperative myocardial ischemia is considered a relevant problem, primarily after aortic surgery. The preoperative cardiac stress diagnostics among vascular surgeons does not seem to be sufficiently widespread. The preoperative initiation of acetylsalicylic acid and statins is not routine in 30% of hospitals.
