Abstract
Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare but severe complication after open heart surgery. Its incidence (0.2-0.4%) is quite low, but mortality rates are ranging between 70% and 100%. From October 1992 to December 1996, 4,640 patients underwent open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: 74.6% coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operations, 23.2% valve replacement including aortic repairs, and 2.2% corrections of congenital heart diseases or tumors of the heart. The overall mortality rate (30 days) was 3.4%, and after CABG, 2.9%. Twelve patients (0.26%), following CABG (one combined with aortic valve replacement, one with mitral reconstruction, and one with carotid disobliteration) developed signs of acute mesenteric ischemia in the early postoperative period (day 1 to 5). In all patients various abdominal symptoms, leukocytosis, acidosis, hyperlactatemia, hyperosmolality, renal failure, and, finally, hemodynamic instability were observed. Eleven patients underwent emergency laparotomy. Mesenteric angiography was done if possible in still stable patients (n=7); it showed severe stenosis or occlusion prior to the operation in each case. Other diagnostic methods were not reliable. In six patients (55%) during the first look, exten...Continue Reading
