Gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery may be uncommon but they carry high mortality rates. Incidences range from 0.5% to 5.5%, while mortality rates of such complications vary from 0.3% to 87%. They range from small gastrointestinal bleeds, ileus, and pancreatitis to life-threatening complications such as liver failure and ischemic bowel. Due to the vague and often absence of specific signs and symptoms, diagnosis of a gastrointestinal complication is often late. This article aims to review and summarize the literature concerning gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery. We discuss the causes, risk factors, diagnosis, preventative measures, and management of these complications. In general, risk factor identification, preventive measures, early diagnosis, and swift management are the keys to reducing the occurrence of gastrointestinal complications and their associated morbidity and mortality.
