Clinical Results of Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair in Patients with Renal Insufficiency without Hemodialysis.

Objective: Chronic renal insufficiency may be a relative contraindication to endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for the use of contrast enhanced mediums. It is thought that more contrast enhanced media are needed in patients who are not anatomically suitable for EVAR, because of procedural difficulties. We reviewed a 2 year EVAR experience at our institution to determine whether the procedure and use of contrast enhanced mediums has any deleterious effect on renal function in patients with pre-existing chronic renal insufficiency.
