Comparison of Renal Complications between Endografts with Suprarenal and Infrarenal Fixation

Overall rates of renal complications following EVAR are low. Patients selected for suprarenal stent grafts are at increased risk of renal complications and prolonged length of stay, which may be due to selection bias, deployment techniques, or the presence of a bare stent overlying the renal arteries. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the mechanism and duration of renal dysfunction and important long-term outcomes of interest.
