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.
