Abstrakt: Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of targeted renal therapy (TRT) to decrease the rate of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients at risk for CIN.Methods: A prospective nonrandomized analysis of TRT was performed in 10 high-risk patients (8 men; median age 66.5 years, range 56–80) with pre-existing renal insufficiency. TRT involved high-dose intrarenal artery infusions of fenoldopam (FEN), a short acting selective dopamine-1 agonist and renal arteriolar vasodilator, delivered percutaneously via a left brachial access using the 5-F Benephit PV Infusion System during EVAR.Results: There were no device-related complications. TRT infusion duration ranged from 3.5 to 6.0 hours (median 4.5). Median contrast dosage was 120 mL (range 50–200). At 24 and 72 hours after EVAR, creatinine clearance (CrCl) had improved in 7 (70%) patients, remained unchanged in 2 (20%), and declined >25% in 1 (10%); the latter returned to baseline on day 5. At 30 days, 7 (70%) patients had improved CrCl and 3 (30%) remained unchanged.Conclusion: TRT is feasible during EVAR in high-risk patients. Further investigation is warranted to determine the safety and efficacy of TRT in preserving renal function during EVAR.
