Summary:Although there is no etiopathogenetic correlation between arterial diseases and gastroduodenal ulcer, a chronic gastric disease can increase postoperative morbidity and mortality, in patients with arterial diseases. Furthermore, postoperative complications due to the development of acute hemorrhagic gastritis are frequent and dangerous, even in patients without any pre-existing gastric pathology. The experience of our Department in this field is reported here, and the risk and severity of hemorrhagic complications after administration of prophylaxis in patients with arterial diseases and gastroduodenal ulcer are evaluated.
