Morbidity and mortality associated with renal insufficiency and endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms: a 5-year experience.

To evaluate the outcome of patients with renal insufficiency undergoing endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), data were prospectively collected between 1998 and 2003 on patients undergoing elective repair of their AAA with a stent graft. The patients were divided into 2 groups: those with serum creatinine (Crs) concentrations <1.2 (Group A) and those with Crs > or =1.
