AA12. Acute Kidney Injury in Pararenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are defined by an insufficient aortic neck between the aneurysm and the renal arteries; 16% of patients with AAA have pararenal aneurysms. Because of an insufficient sealing zone, open surgical repair (OSR) of pararenal AAAs is the “gold standard,” whereas endovascular repair is reserved for those unfit for surgery. Renal outcomes in this cohort may provide insight into potential utility of endovascular techniques in certain cohorts.
