Quantifying the risk-adjusted hospital costs of postoperative complications after lower extremity bypass in patients with claudication

摘要

Objective: Increasing evidence has shown that the risks associated with surgical revascularization for intermittent claudication outweigh the benefits. The aim of our study was to quantify the cost of care associated with perioperative complications after elective lower extremity bypass (LEB) in patients presenting with intermittent claudication.
