The average post-operative decrease in haemoglobin(Hb) was 1.5g/dL. Two patients had a decreases in haemoglobin > 3.5 g/dL post procedurally, requiring transfusions. The source however was not clinically apparent, there may have been an element of haemodilution.
As defined by the VARC-2 definition there were no significant AKIs noted in the cohort within the first 48 hours. Two however did require emergent dialysis post procedurally, fortunately they did not become dialysis dependent.
