ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Even low quantities of iodine contrast media (ICM) could be responsible for exacerbation of a chronic kidney disease (CKD). Aim of this study was to determine whether it is more reasonable to perform endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedures in patients with initial CKD using CO2 rather than ICM to prevent further kidney deterioration.METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed at our institution to identify patients with preoperative CKD at initial stage (class G3a-G3b according to KDOQI-KDIGO classification) who underwent either CO2-EVAR or ICM-EVAR. Primary endpoint was renal function evaluation; secondary endpoints were technical success, perioperative complications, hospital stay, and reinterventions and overall mortality at follow-up.RESULTS:
Both CO2-EVAR and ICM-EVAR groups were composed of 21 patients. There were no differences in demographics, anatomy, and comorbidities, apart from worse ASA score in CO2-EVAR group (100% vs 57.1%, p = .001). Preoperative serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rates (GFR) were comparable (1.73 vs 1.6 mg/dl, p = .082 and 39.71 vs 43.04 mL/min/1.73 m2, p = .935). At follow-up (16.7 ± 18.1 months), CO2-EVAR was not associated with significant changes in creatinine and GFR, whereas ICM-EVAR determined a significant increase in creatinine (1.6 mg/dl vs 1.91 mg/dl, p = .04) and decrease in GFR values (43 vs 37.9 mL/min/1.73 m2, p = .04), determining the need for dialysis in one patient.CONCLUSIONS:
ICM seems to be a determining factor in worsening renal function; therefore, an effort should be made to standardize the use of CO2 as the contrast medium of choice in patients with initial renal insufficiency undergoing EVAR.
