- Abstract
The article investigates the prognostic value of psoas muscle area (PMA) in patients undergoing vascular surgery. Topics discussed include link between sarcopenia and poor surgical outcomes in high-risk surgeries, mortality after aortic aneurysm repair and lower limb revascularization, and how PMA can help clinicians identify patients who might benefit from interventions prior to surgery.
