OR = operating room time (includes patient prep) ; EBL = estimated blood loss
*The weighted mean transfusion rate is 3.9% for all reported series, and 0.3% if Bentas' series is excluded.
**The weighted mean of hospital stay is 3.1 days for all reported series, and 1.4 days if Bentas' series is excluded. Patients in this study were discharged home after catheter removal.
