Incidence of distal ischemia post-HeRO surgery reveals age as a key risk factor, suggesting careful patient selection.
Symptomatic HAIDI is fairly common after HeRO graft implantation and portends inferior long-term outcomes with older age being the only associated risk factor. Tapered conduits were not associated with reduced risk of HAIDI. These data are valuable for informed consent and shared decision-making among patients undergoing HeRO graft surgery.
