Key result
Endovascular aneurysm repair attenuates perioperative renal dysfunction compared to open surgery, but patients develop progressive renal deterioration over time with similar dialysis rates.
Why the study?
Does endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) affect renal function compared to open surgery in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Does endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) affect renal function compared to open surgery in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm?
While EVAR attenuates perioperative renal dysfunction compared to open surgery, it is associated with progressive long-term renal function deterioration and similar dialysis rates.

Supports EVAR to limit perioperative renal risk in AAA; leaves open long-term renal trajectory versus open repair.
Walsh et al. (2008) conducted a review in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) vs. open surgery was evaluated on renal dysfunction. Endovascular aneurysm repair attenuates perioperative renal dysfunction compared to open surgery, but patients develop progressive renal deterioration over time with similar dialysis rates.
