You are the consultant in a community hospital and you were consulted to do a pre-op work-up.
Please give more specific pre-op work-up !

Please review the pre-op work-up of medical patients with many medical problems going for major vascular surgery.
Those are very important stuff we have to review and I will give you the answer when you at least try to answer the question in a meaningful way !
Why the pt goes for fem-fem bypass, PVD !!

Question does not ask you for teh reason for the bypass, question ask you as a consultant what do you DO ?

As a consultant I would know the existing conditions, reason for bypass and natural history of disease progression.
Every single thing asked for pre-op had a reason that I am sure everyone can understand. and for sure I may be missing something important so let your knowledge be spread..

IN the case of PVD , the risk of comorbid coronary artery disease is 50%. in the regular basis there is no indication for assesment of coronary artery but in the pre op you must r/o it and if it sever you must treat it( maybe CABG ) before another operation. in this case ithink thallium scan is a good choice
whats your oponion AAAAA
