Key result
Acute mesenteric ischemia after cardiac surgery carries ~67% mortality and is linked to prolonged CPB.

What are the incidence, outcomes, and risk factors for acute mesenteric ischemia after elective cardiac surgery?
Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare (0.86%) but highly lethal (67% mortality) complication of cardiac surgery associated with poor baseline cardiac function and prolonged bypass time.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High mortality from post-cardiac surgery mesenteric ischemia warrants vigilance; case-control data extend risk factor identification but remain hypothesis-generating.
Eriş et al. (2013) conducted a case-control in Acute mesenteric ischemia after cardiac surgery (n=6,013). Perioperative risk factors (e.g., renal insufficiency, prolonged CPB) vs. Patients without acute mesenteric ischemia was evaluated on Incidence and mortality of acute mesenteric ischemia. Acute mesenteric ischemia occurred in 0.86% of patients after cardiac surgery, with a 67% mortality rate, and was significantly associated with factors like prolonged CPB and renal insufficiency.
