Direct Reinfusion of Unwashed Shed Autologous Blood During Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Retrospective Analysis
Authors' conclusion
For patients undergoing open TAAA repair, larger reinfusion volumes of unwashed SAB were not associated with greater odds of major early postoperative complications.
