Key result
Abdominal aortic surgery, unlike other vascular procedures, was associated with significant postoperative decreases in antithrombin III and protein C (P<0.01), increasing thrombotic risk.
Why the study?
Does abdominal aortic surgery increase postoperative thrombotic potential compared to carotid endarterectomy and femoro-popliteal bypass?
Population
Patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery, carotid endarterectomy, and femoro-popliteal bypass

May warrant heightened postoperative thrombotic vigilance after abdominal aortic surgery; leaves open whether this alters outcomes versus other vascular procedures.
Observational
Does abdominal aortic surgery increase postoperative thrombotic potential compared to carotid endarterectomy and femoro-popliteal bypass?
p-value: p=<0.01
Abdominal aortic surgery is associated with a higher postoperative thrombotic potential compared to carotid endarterectomy and femoro-popliteal bypass due to concurrent decreases in natural anticoagulant factors.
Gibbs et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Vascular surgery. Abdominal aortic surgery vs. Carotid endarterectomy and femoro-popliteal bypass was evaluated on Postoperative changes in procoagulant, anticoagulant, and antifibrinolytic factors (p=<0.01). Abdominal aortic surgery, unlike other vascular procedures, was associated with significant postoperative decreases in antithrombin III and protein C (P<0.01), increasing thrombotic risk.
