Incidence of postoperative, major, adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy: A single-center, retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to determine the incidence of postoperative major adverse cardiac events for patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
