Abstract
Currently available data are insufficient to determine the precise effect of suprarenal fixation on medium-term renal function. Conventional Kaplan-Meier analysis of the pooled data set suggested that suprarenal fixation increased the risk of renal dysfunction; however, the effect disappeared when sophisticated statistical modelling was performed to account for study heterogeneity. A randomised controlled trial of suprarenal fixation may resolve this issue.
