Exclusion

  • renal disease (dialysis dependent, end-stage renal disease or a baseline Cr \>3mg/dl)
  • known coagulopathy/bleeding tendency (such as von Willebrand disease)
  • platelet count of \<150x109 /liter at baseline
  • Hct \< 30%
  • platelet inhibitory drugs within 5 days prior to surgery or Aspirin 325 mg within 48 hrs of surgery
