Abstract

BACKGROUND: Neuraxial anesthesia (NA) has been hypothesized to decrease postoperative complications and reduce mortality. However, studies regarding the impact of anesthesia type on outcomes of infrainguinal bypass (IIB) have demonstrated mixed results. In this multi-institutional study, we aimed to investigate the association of neuraxial anesthesia (NA) versus general anesthesia (GA) and perioperative and one-year outcomes of IIBs.
