Abstract
Renal Function Assessment is Part of Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair and its Follow Up
Highlights
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the preferred approach for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) when anatomy is compatible
Based on the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) and Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-stage (RIFLE) staging systems, Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as increase in serum creatinine by ≥ 0,3 mg/dl within 48 hours, or increase in serum creatinine to ≥ 1,5 times baseline within 7 days, or urine output < 0,5 ml/kg/h for 6 hours [3]
Statius van Eps and al reported in their retrospective study [6] that use of angiotensin II blockers and peri-operative complications are risk factors for AKI after EVAR
Summary
Renal Function Assessment Is Part of Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair and It’s Follow Up Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the preferred approach for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) when anatomy is compatible. And medium term morbidity and mortality rates are lower with EVAR than open aortic repair (OAR). In the long term EVAR is associated with higher reinterventions rate and lower survival [1].
