Abstract

Many complications occurring in patients submitted to vascular surgery can be attributed to ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) that accompanies vessels clamping and declamping (1). A growing body of evidence indicates that the pathogenesis of I-R can be ascribed to the unbalanced oxygen radical (0R°) generation occurring at reperfusion, when molecular O2 becomes available (2–4). This process is known as “oxygen paradox”.
