Published in: Journal of cardiac surgery (2021)

The present study indicates an association between intraoperative gastrointestinal injury, postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction and gastrointestinal complications. A high-powered study is needed to further explore this relationship and the interpretation of I-FABP concentrations in individual cardiac surgery patients.
