Acute Kidney Injury After Total Arch Replacement Combined With Frozen Elephant Trunk Implantation: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcome.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after thoracic aortic surgery and is a significant predictor of morbidity and mortality. Total arch replacement (TAR) combined with frozen elephant trunk (FET) implantation has been reported to produce satisfactory clinical outcomes, whereas several features of the surgical procedure may induce postoperative AKI. The authors aimed to clarify the incidence of and risk factors for postoperative AKI and the association of AKI with short-term outcomes. ⋯ TAR combined with FET implantation carries a high-risk for postoperative AKI compared with other types of thoracic aortic surgeries. Cardiopulmonary bypass duration was identified as the only modifiable predictor of AKI, and patients may benefit from moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest instead of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
