Prognostic factors of ischemic colitis after infrarenal aortic surgery.

Background: Postoperative ischemic colitis (POIC) remains a frequent and extremely severe complication of infrarenal abdominal aorta surgery. However, its diagnosis and treatment are not always consensual because the incidence is very small. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the prognostic factors of severe colitis after infrarenal aorta surgery.
