Postoperative management of patients who undergo aortic surgery.
Because patients with occlusive or aneurysmal disease of the aorta frequently have coexisting disease in other important organ systems, complications after aortic surgery usually relate to the heart, lungs and kidneys. Postoperative care thus requires attention, in an intensive-care milieu, to respiratory, cardiac, renal and gastrointestinal systems, coagulation and, in rare instances, psychiatric problems.
