Abstract
Op time for elective, primary CEAs varies substantially across surgeons in the VQI. Increased Op time is associated with a surgeon's lower annual CEA volume in addition to patient variables and techniques employed. Cardiac complications after CEA are associated with longer Op time, whereas technical complications are associated with a surgeon's low annual volume.
