Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors and outcomes regarding acute kidney injury (AKI) after AngioJet thrombectomy for acute lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). MethodsPatients were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups according to whether AKI occurred postoperatively. The demographic data, pre-operative and post-operative laboratory data and surgical differences were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to identify the AKI risk factors and outcomes, respectively. ResultsAmong the 341 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 45 developed AKI (AKI group) and 296 had normal renal function (non-AKI group) post-surgery. There were significant differences between the two groups in the course (t = 10.885, P = 0.000); preoperative history of a major surgery within 3 months (3M-MS) (odds ratio [OR] = 5.492, P = 0.001); duration of aspiration thrombectomy (Z = −8.803, P = 0.000); volumes of aspiration (Z = −8.215, P = 0.000); contrast volume (Z = −3.204, P = 0.001) and pulmonary thrombectomy (OR = 18.200, P = 0.002); and preoperative complications of hypertension (OR = 4.637, P = 0.002), diabetes (OR = 18.088, P = 0.000), or pulmonary embolism (OR = 0.085, P = 0.011). Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed that the renal function of every patient in the AKI group returned to normal 3 months after the surgery. ConclusionsThe course, preoperative complications of diabetes or hypertension, 3M-MS, contrast volume, duration and volume of aspiration thrombectomy, and pulmonary thrombectomy are risk factors for post–AngioJet-thrombectomy AKI, which is temporary.
