Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to determine if the use of atorvastatin (Lipitor), a member of the HMG coA reductase inhibitor class of drugs referred to as statins, will reduce cardiovascular outcomes ( mortality - myocardial infarction - stroke ) when given in high doses in comparative standard doses in the perioperative period of major vascular surgery.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm , Carotid endarterectomy , Revascularization of lower limbs
