WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS Analysis of 202 consecutive patients treated with fenestrated-branched endovascular repair (F-BEVAR) for pararenal and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms showed that, despite similarly low peri-operative mortality, subjects with a history of moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) have higher rates of acute kidney injury than those with unimpaired renal function. Prior CKD was independently associated with renal function decline and poorer survival at midterm follow up. Presence of pre-operative moderate to severe CKD must be considered during decision making for complex endovascular aortic interventions, and efforts made to optimise outcomes in the immediate peri-operative period as well as in the long term.Objective: To review experience of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (F-BEVAR) for pararenal/ thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (PRAA/TAAA) and to assess the association between pre-operative moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) and post-operative outcomes. Methods: All consecutive patients undergoing (elective and non-elective) F-BEVAR at a single centre (1 January 2011 e 1 July 2019) were identified. Renal function was calculated as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. Accordingly, presence of moderate to severe CKD was defined as eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m 2 . Results: Overall, 202 consecutive patients (mean age 72 AE 8 years; 25% women) underwent F-BEVAR for the treatment of PRAA/TAAA during the study period. Of these, 51 had a history of moderate to severe CKD (none on chronic haemodialysis). No statistically significant differences were found in demographics and major comorbidities between patients with or without a history of CKD. The overall peri-operative mortality rate was 2%, without statistically significant differences between study groups (p ¼ .26). Patients with prior CKD had statistically significantly higher rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) (37% vs. 12%, p < .001). At three years, overall survival was statistically significantly lower in patients with history of CKD compared with those without pre-operative CKD (57% vs. 82%, p ¼ .010). Similarly, freedom from renal function decline at three years was statistically significantly poorer in patients with prior history of CKD compared with those without pre-operative CKD (43% vs. 80%, p ¼ .020). In a multivariable analysis CKD was independently associated with higher odds of peri-operative AKI (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.9 e 5.8, p ¼ .030), renal function decline (OR 4.9, 95% CI 1.7 e 9.2, p ¼ .003), and all cause mortality (HR 3.2, 95% CI 1.2 e 8.6, p ¼ .020). Conclusion: Despite low peri-operative mortality rates that are comparable to patients with unimpaired renal function, occurrence of AKI was statistically significantly higher in subjects with pre-existing moderate to severe CKD. History of CKD was independently associated to renal function decline and poorer midterm survival.
