Complex Aortic Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Coronary CT Angiography in Aneurysms Repaired With Open or Endovascular Approach
This proposal is for the pilot study that will inform the conduct of a larger prospective randomized controlled trial to guide perioperative work up and the cost/utility of CTCA (high definition CT coronary angiography.)
This proposal is for a pilot study that will inform the conduct of a prospective, blinded randomized controlled trial designed to determine the cost effectiveness of an algorithm for pre operative cardiac risk stratification that uses coronary CT angiography. In addition perioperative and long-term cardiac event rate will be recorded to determine if there is any difference in these rates between the 2 groups. ;
