The Impact of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair on Long Term Renal Function Based on Hard Renal Outcomes

Over the short term endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is associated with superior outcomes compared with open repair; however, the progression of renal function after EVAR remains unknown because of the use of inconsistent reporting measures. The aim was to define long term renal decline following elective EVAR using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
