(1) Background: This retrospective study evaluated perioperative and intensive care unit (ICU) variables to predict colonic ischemia (CI) after infrarenal ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) surgery. (2) Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of the patients treated for infrarenal RAAA from January 2011 to December 2020 in our hospital. (3) Results: A total of 135 (82% male) patients were admitted to ICU after treatment of infrarenal RAAA. The median age of all patients was 75 years (IQR 68–81 years). Of those, 24 (18%) patients developed CI, including 22 (92%) cases within the first three postoperative days. CI was found more often after open repair compared to endovascular treatment (22% vs. 5%, p = 0.021). Laboratory findings in the first seven PODs revealed statistically significant differences between CI and non-CI patients for serum lactate, minimum pH, serum bicarbonate, and platelet count. Norepinephrine (NE) was used in 92 (68%) patients during ICU stay. The highest daily dose of norepinephrine was administered to CI patients at POD1. Multivariable analysis revealed that NE > 64 µg/kg (RD 0.40, 95% CI: 0.25–0.55, p < 0.001), operating time ≥ 200 min (RD 0.18, 95% CI: 0.05–0.31, p = 0.042), and pH < 7.3 (RD 0.21, 95% CI: 0.07–0.35, p = 0.019), significantly predicted the development of CI. A total of 23 (17%) patients died during the hospital stay, including 8 (33%) patients from the CI group and 15 (7%) from the non-CI group (p = 0.032). (4) Conclusions: CI after RAAA is a sever complication occurring most frequently within the first 3 postoperative days. Our study identified many surrogate markers associated with colonic ischemia after aortic RAAA, including norepinephrine dose > 64 µg/kg, operating time ≥ 200 min, and PH < 7.3. Future studies are needed to support these results.
