Blood product requirements in patients undergoing elective endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Endovascular repair (EVR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has many potential advantages, one of which may be reduced blood product requirements. The aim of this study was to compare the current blood product usage in our unit for three types of elective operation: EVR of AAA, open AAA repair and femorofemoral crossover grafts.
DESIGN: Prospective data analysis with historical controls.
