Long-term decline in renal function is more significant after endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms

Although AKI is less likely to occur after EVAR, patients undergoing EVAR experience a significant but delayed decline in GFR over time compared with OR. This became apparent after postoperative year 4. Studies comparing EVAR and OR may need longer follow-up to detect clinically significant differences in renal function.
