Key result
Visceral ischemia following aortic surgery occurred in 10 of 187 patients and contributed to 6 operative deaths, suggesting a need for preoperative angiography and IMA re-implantation.

What is the incidence and impact of visceral ischemia following aortic surgery?
Visceral ischemia is a significant contributor to operative mortality following aortic surgery, highlighting the need for preoperative angiographic identification and potential visceral arterial reconstruction or IMA reimplantation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Visceral ischemia contributes substantially to mortality after aortic surgery; leaves open whether preoperative angiography and IMA reimplantation improve outcomes.
Johnson et al. (1974) conducted an observational in Aortic surgery (aorto-iliac occlusive disease and aneurysm) (n=187). Aortic surgery was evaluated on Visceral ischemia and related mortality. Visceral ischemia following aortic surgery occurred in 10 of 187 patients and contributed to 6 operative deaths, suggesting a need for preoperative angiography and IMA re-implantation.
