Description
A protein that shapes bone and blood vessels may also foretell how a patient fares after artery surgery. Sofia Skroder and seven co-authors test that link in a 2026 study of 210 patients set for open repair of blocked leg or neck arteries. Blood levels of the protein were read before surgery.
One year on, the team counts new cases of a chaotic heart rhythm, major heart and vessel events, and deaths from any cause. Risk models weigh whether high levels track with worse ends. Most patients were men, and most had leg surgery. Women were older and held higher levels of the protein. A blood read that flags risk before the knife could steer who gets closer watch after surgery.
