Supports either anesthesia approach in EVAR/TEVAR for transfusion and labs; leaves open optimal selection pending randomized trials.
Observational (n=70)
No
Both general anesthesia and sedation with local anesthesia can be successfully and safely applied in patients undergoing EVAR and TEVAR, with no significant differences in perioperative blood parameters or transfusion requirements.
Özer et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Thoracic and abdominal aortic pathologies (n=70). General anesthesia vs sedation and local anesthesia vs. Each other was evaluated on Efficacy and complications (blood transfusion, pre/postoperative hemoglobin, hematocrit, urea, and creatinine values). General anesthesia and sedation with local anesthesia showed no statistically significant differences in blood transfusion requirements or perioperative laboratory values during EVAR and TEVAR procedures.
