Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio predicts medium-term survival following elective major vascular surgery: a cross-sectional study.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The use of fenestrated and branched endovascular technologies in complex aortic aneurysm repair (F/BEVAR) is increasing, with a trend toward using longer sealing zones and incorporating more target vessels. Successful aneurysm exclusion and prevention of long-term treatment failure need to be balanced agai...
