The Effect of Perioperative Ischemia and Reperfusion on Multiorgan Dysfunction following Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Figure 4

The main reperfusion-induced pathophysiological disorders that lead to distal organ injury after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. These disorders may be significantly more severe in patients with ruptured aneurysm due to multiple episodes of ischemia-reperfusion. ROS: reactive oxygen species; I/R: ischemia-reperfusion.
