A novel method for the management of patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia during cardiac surgery.

abstract：:Abdominal compartment syndrome is a possible complication after aneurysm repair and has a high mortality rate. Although there has been an increment in patient survival rates after aneurysm repair, there has also been an increase in this entity. However, there are few data about the incidence and management of this com...
