Surgery--Complications
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a correlation between the microcirculation measured preoperatively in patients undergoing major vascular surgery and the postoperative mortality during hospitalization period. The microcirculation will be measured sublingually with the Cytocam-IDF imaging technique.
Interventions
Observation of the microcirculation

Study design
Intervention model description
Patients will be split into two groups after data collection. They will receive the same treatment during the clinical trial.
