Frequency of types of vascular surgery in the study population. Most patients had a major aortic or peripheral vascular procedure (63% of total); endovascular peripheral procedures, amputation, AV, fistula, and other minor vascular surgeries were less common. See Table S1 for a comprehensive list of the various surgeries in each of the larger categories summarized above. AAA indicates abdominal aortic aneurysm; AV, arteriovenous.Show Less
Kaplan–Meier survival curves for long‐term mortality stratified by cTnT level. Long‐term mortality was similar in patients not sampled and those not detectable (<0.01 ng/mL), whereas there was a graded decline in the probability of survival with any detectable cTnT level, even below the threshold for cTnT elevation (0.03 ng/mL). Log‐rank P<0.001 for the entire model. Values are reported as ng/mL. cTnT indicates cardiac troponin T.

Plot of hazard rate over time stratified by cTnT level. There was a graded increase in the instantaneous hazard of mortality with increasing cTnT level. This risk was apparent immediately postoperatively, greatest within the first 10 months after surgery, but persisted during long‐term follow‐up for all levels of cTnT. cTnT indicates cardiac troponin T.Show Less
Kaplan–Meier survival curves for long‐term mortality stratified by mechanism of myocardial injury. Long‐term survival was decreased in all patients with myocardial injury, regardless of myocardial injury. Survival was similar for patients with baseline elevation, Type 2 MI or Type 1 MI. Log‐rank P<0.001 for the entire model. MI indicates myocardial infarction.

Plot of hazard rate over time stratified by mechanism of myocardial injury. Patients with Type 1 MI had the highest hazard of mortality in the short term after noncardiac surgery. However, patients with Type 2 MI and baseline cTnT elevation still had a higher risk than patients with a normal cTnT, and the risk was similar to that of patients with Type 1 MI after ≈10 months. cTnT indicates cardiac troponin T; MI, myocardial infarction.Show Less
