Use of autotransfusion has recently come into the limelight of clinical practice especially because of the AIDS-risk and financial considerations. Authors have analysed data of 20 patients with peripheral arterial disease at whom hemodilution were carried out before the operation with the aim of using autotransfusion. Attention is called to the importance of autotransfusion and its applicability in the practice of other sorts of surgery.
