Application of new specific biomarkers for organ damage after open and endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery as model for more accurate perioperative patients’ surveillance

In this thesis the application of specific biomarkers for organ failure is investigated in patients undergoing open and endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Outcome after these demanding procedure is often related to major complications. By application of biomarkers for early detection of organ failure, already on the intensive care unit, patients’ outcome could be positively influenced.
