Abstract

METHODS: The vascular procedure specific American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database for 2011-2012 was queried for carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Univariate statistics were performed to identify factors associated with MI and pre-procedural beta-blockers. A propensity score was created for beta-blocker use, accounting for selection bias. A forward stepwise multivariable analysis was undertaken for the primary endpoint using factors meeting criteria of p<0.01.
