| Main Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the risks and benefits of continued aspirin therapy in the perioperative period. Two main questions are addressed: 1. What effect do aspirin have in reducing perioperative cardiovascular complications? 2. Is additional bleeding caused by aspirin in the perioperative period? ;Secondary Objective: Study objectives To study the effect of aspirin therapy in a high risk study population regarding: 1. Myocardial cell injury, detected by Troponin T. 2. Myocardial infarction, diagnosed in accordance to the European Society of Cardiology`s and American College of Cardiology`s published guidelines. 3. Thrombotic cerebrovascular accident 4. Long-term outcome, i.e. mortality one year after surgery. 5. Complications, including: a. Incisional hemorrhagic complication b. Gastrointestinal bleeding c. Hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident d. Spinal/Epidural hematoma 6. Prediction of perioperative myocardial injury and/or poor long-term prognosis by BNP (brain natriuretic peptide), CRP and albumin. ;Primary end point(s): 5. Study outcome 5.1 Primary outcome A. Perioperative myocardial injury B. Perioperative myocardial infarction C. Incidence of haemorrhagic complications. Other outcomes A. One year mortality Cardiac events (myocardial infarction, PCI and/or CABG,) and thrombotic cerebrovascular events within one year after surgery. Correlation between perioperative myocardial injury and preoperative albumin, CRP, BNP and TnT. B. Correlation between postoperative TnT and long-term prognosis. Risk of perioperative myocardial injury related to aspirin treatment compared to placebo. C. Risk of death one year after surgery related to aspirin treatment compared to placebo. | — |
