Acute renal failure after endovascular vs open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
J Vasc Surg. 2006; (3): 460-466; discussion 466
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is an increasingly used alternative to open surgical repair of unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The effect of EVAR on postprocedure acute renal failure has not been determined. We hypothesized that EVAR would be associated with a lower risk of acute renal failure and acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis.
