Intra-operative staff radiation exposure during aortic endovascular procedures.

The risk of radiation exposure in the surgical operating room (OR) and/or cathlab is now well established. Complex endovascular procedures often require multiple approaches and different positioning of the staff members around the patient, potentially increasing the levels of radiations exposure.Our goal was to evaluate the levels of radiation exposure of the members of the staff during endovascular aortic procedures in order to propose radioprotection optimization.
