Conditions

The incidence of MINS within 72 hours after surgery. MINS is defined as an increase in postoperative cTn levels due to potential ischemic mechanisms without any obvious non-ischemic causes (such as pulmonary embolism), with at least one cTn concentration exceeding the 99th percentile of the normal population reference range.

Interventions

TEAS group:Perioperative sequential TEAS
The sham TEAS group:No current is connected, no irritation
