Effect of Preoperative CIMT on Hemodynamics During Liver Transplantation

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Candidates for liver transplantation (CT) carry an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to underlying end-stage liver disease (ESHD) and immunosuppressive drugs used post-transplantation. CVD is a significant cause of long-term mortality after CT \[1\] \[2\]. Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT), a subclinical marker of atherosclerosis in the preoperative period, is a non-invasive method used to predict future CVD risk \[3\]. High CIMT indicates atherosclerosis and decreased arterial compliance. This can compromise organ perfusion and increase the risk of postoperative complications by increasing intraoperative blood pressure variability (BPV) during anesthesia induction and surgical stress in major surgeries such as CT. Studies investigating whether CIMT is an independent risk factor for perioperative hemodynamic instability in CT patients are limited. The aim of our stud
