Review outlines postoperative management strategies to mitigate disabling complications following complex aortic aneurysm repair.
Why the study?
Complex aortic repair carries a significant risk of morbidity and mortality, including disabling complications such as dialysis, major stroke, and paraplegia.

May inform postoperative protocols in complex aortic repair; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Patients with complex aortic aneurysms (CAA) are often high risk due to advanced age and widespread atherosclerosis affecting numerous vascular territories. Therefore, a thorough perioperative evaluation is needed prior to performing in any type of aortic repair, regardless of whether an endovascular or open surgical approach is selected. Because these operations are technically demanding and often result in end organ ischemia, it is not surprising that complex aortic repair carries significant risk of morbidity and mortality. Disabling complications such as dialysis, major stroke and paraplegia constitute the main limitation of complex aortic repair. The aim of this article was to review postoperative management to mitigate complications after CAA repair.
