Colonic ischemia complicating open vs endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

“…In this situation, the incidence of CI is approximately 10% to 36% and, again, is dependent on whether the diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical or endoscopic findings. [26][27][28][29] The incidence of CI after repair of rAAA in our report (8.9%) is somewhat lower than average. Overall mortality rate with rupture, lack of endoscopic evaluation in all patients, lack of postmortem confirmatory data in patients who developed multiorgan system failure before the diagnosis of CI, and the population of rAAA treated with EVAR may all have contributed to a lower incidence.…”
