Commentary: Using the right tools for the job: Revisiting renal preservation during open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair

[摘要] Surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) is one of the most complex and high-risk procedures performed today. Despite contemporary techniques in cardiovascular surgery, up to 30% of elective patients suffer serious complications, including death, stroke, paraplegia, and dialysis-dependent renal failure.1 In particular, surgical replacement of the juxtarenal aorta necessitates a period of renal ischemia and results in approximately 10% of these patients requiring postoperative renal-replacement therapy (RRT).
