Conclusion
Caval clamping was compared with medical measures to reduce central venous pressure in this study that included 128 analysable procedures. Caval clamping reduced intra-operative blood loss (550 vs. 900ml, P=0.02), without affecting morbidity or mortality rates. It did, however, increase the rate of postoperative pulmonary embolism: 4 vs. none, P=0.04.
