EFFECTS OF OPEN SURGERY AND ENDOVASCULAR GRAFT EXLUSION FOR ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS ON LIVER AND RENAL FUNCTIONS / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

To compare the effects of open surgery (OS) and endovascular graft exclusion (EVGE) for abdominal aortic aneurysms on the liver and renal functions, the serum total protein, albumin, globulin and the ratio of A/G of 57 patients with alodominal aortis aneurysm were analyzed before and after the two operations.The results showed that the serum total protein,albumin,globalin and the ratio of A/G were signifcantly decreased in the open surgery group, while remarkabe decrease was found in globulin but no significant change in the ratio of A/G in the EVGE group.Creatinine and urea introgen were significantly decreased in the open surgery graup and remained normal in the EVGE group.It is suggested that the effect of EVGE on the liver and renal function is much less than traditional(open) surgery.
