Renal function following aortic surgery

The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
S J Powis

Abstract

Following aortic surgery nearly two thirds of patients (65%) have demonstrable renal tubular damage, which is related to the disease process (aneurysmal disease being more commonly associated with renal damage than occlusive disease), the duration of aortic cross clamping and the volume of blood transfused. No relationship appears to exist between age, pre-operative hypertension, or chronic renal failure, and post operative renal tubular function.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
