Abstract:
Rhabdomyolysis is an uncommon complication in a vascular surgery. Recently we experienced two cases of rhabdomyolysis after aortic surgery. The first one underwent an elective surgery for AAA but the 2nd case performed an emergency surgery because of ruptured AAA. Both patients recovered from rhabdomyolysis by conservative medical treatment without any major complications such as acute renal failure.
