Our experience suggest that contemporary perioperative mortality for combined aortic and renal repair has improved compared with earlier reports; however, perioperative mortality for simultaneous reconstruction remains greater than repair of aortic disease alone. Moreover, a lower rate of favorable hypertension response was observed after combined correction compared with renal artery repair alone. These differences suggest that aortic and renal artery repair should only be combined for clinical indications rather than for prophylactic repair of clinically silent disease.
