  •  The risk of complications is heightened if the surgery is performed as an emergency to address a heart attack or severe cardiac condition.

  • Conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, or kidney disease can increase the risk of postoperative complications.

  • Older patients, particularly those over 65, have a higher risk of complications. Additionally, men may face different risks compared to women.
