Intraoperative Perfusion Patterns of the Sigmoid Colon During Elective Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: visible light spectroscopy
Registration Number
NCT03429647
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Brief Summary

Blood supply to the sigmoid colon during open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is at risk. Ischemia of the sigmoid colon after AAA repair is potentially devastative. No reliable measures to prevent it are available and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of this study is to describe intraoperative perfusion patterns of the sigmoid colon during open AAA repair and their potential impact on postoperative outcome.
