Staging the neoaortoiliac system: Feasibility and short-term outcomes

No significant difference was found in estimated blood loss (EBL) in liters, lowest recorded temperature in centigrade (Temp), intravenous crystalloid (Cryst) requirement in liters, number of packed red blood cell (RBC) units transfused, and the total duration of surgery in hours, including vein harvest time, between the staged group (striped bars) and nonstaged group (black bars). Error bars show the standard deviation.

Kaplan-Meier survival curve for patients undergoing staged (green line) and nonstaged (black line) neoaortoiliac system (NAIS), The SE was >10 after 2 months. No difference in perioperative or 12-month survival was observed between the two groups.
