Renal Artery Coverage During Endovascular Aneurysm Repair for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Introduction Coverage of one or both renal arteries may be required to facilitate endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients who are not candidates for open surgery in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs). We sought to understand the consequences of renal coverage during these emergent procedures. Methods Using the VQI data set from 2013 to 2018, we selected patients who had undergone EVAR for rAAA. Patients were distinguished by...
