Randomized comparison of cold blood and cold crystalloid renal perfusion for renal protection during thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. J Vasc Surg 2009; 49: 11-19

Published: 1st January 2009

Authors: LeMaire SA, Jones MM, Conklin LD, Carter SA, Criddell MD, Wang XL et al. et al.

Conclusion

There were no differences in outcomes between these two methods in the 172 procedures studied. Renal dysfunction rates were similar after cold blood perfusion (31 per cent) and crystalloid (24 per cent). Respective mortality rates (8 vs. 6 per cent) and need for haemodialysis (3 per cent both groups) were also equivalent.
