Prognostic value of the intraoperative D-dimer level in arterial blood in open reconstructive operations on the aortoiliac segment

The objective was to assess the prognostic value of D-dimer level in peripheral venous blood and arterial blood to the risk of developing complications in the short-term period after open reconstructive surgery on the aortoiliac segment. Methods and material s. The study included 89 patients who were determined the D-dimer level in peripheral venous blood, as well as arterial blood intraoperatively. Results . Statistically significant differences in the D-dimer level were established depending on the presence or absence of early postoperative complications. Conclusions . The intraoperative D-dimer level in arterial blood has a predictive ability in relation to the development of early postoperative complications.
