Association of Anemia With Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Peripheral Vascular Intervention: Insights From the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium (BMC2 VIC).

Whether preprocedure correction of anemia has the potential to decrease post-PVI adverse events remains to be studied. PMID: 29289948 [PubMed - in process]
