Abstract
We applied the sensitive RIFLE criteria to examine AKI in patients undergoing elective aortic hemiarch replacement for aneurysmal disease. Baseline renal dysfunction, lower ejection fraction, and longer CPB time are independent predictors of AKI. Compared with DHCA/RCP, our data suggest that an MHCA/ACP cerebral protection strategy does not appear to be associated with worse postoperative renal outcomes.
