Brief Summary

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a severe condition that might occur after cardiovascular surgery. Several risk factors for AMI, such as multimorbidity, the use of vasopressors, and an increase in inflammatory markers have been identified in the past. However, these risk factors also seem to influence the blood and urine levels of I-FABP. This prospective pilot study intends to evaluate the value of perioperatively assessed I-FABP levels and to correlate these values with clinical or angiographic findings in mesenteric ischemia to improve a standardised diagnosis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Concentration of I-FABP values with/and without acute mesenteric ischemia

    Is the variation of I-FABP values different in patients with and without the mesenteric ischemia at the time of initial clinical suspicion?

    24 hours before and 36 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Time interval to mesenteric ischemia

    24 hours before until day 7 post-surgery

  • Overall mortality rate

    until day 30 post-surgery

  • Correlation of I-FABP with biomarkers of acute kidney injury

    24 hours before until day 7 post-surgery

  • Association of mesenteric ischemia with hypercoagulable states

    24 hours before until day 7 post-surgery

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of stroke

    until day 30 post-surgery

  • Association of I-FABP level and multi-organ failure or cardiovascular mortality

    until day 30 post surgery

Study Arms (1)
