The influence of comorbidities in the development of respiratory and pleural complications in post-op period during surgical procedures on descending thoracic aorta

Aim: The frequency and structure of emerging pulmonary and pleural complications after interventions on the descending thoracic aorta were studied.

Material and Methods: Based on the experience of interventions on the aorta in 84 patients, the influence of concomitant diseases on the incidence of pulmonary and pleural comzplications after interventions was studied.

Results: Revealed with a high degree of certainty (p≤0.05) in the group of patients with complications, patients initially had kidney disease (p=0.02), previously operated aortic aneurysm of another localization (p=0.04), arterial hypertension (p=0, 05), IHD (p<0.01), multifocal atherosclerosis (n=0.01), COPD (n=0.01), Aortic dissection IIIB type (p<0.01).

Conclusion: Taking into account the identified patterns in the development of complications, we consider it necessary to take a more thorough approach to the prevention of these complications in the perioperative period.
