One of the major complications after EVAR is acute kidney injury, which is linked to higher death and morbidity rates. Independent risk factors for postcontrast acute kidney injury were chronic kidney disease, male gender, and aortic diameter. Only aortic diameter could be modifiable risk factor, and earlier surgery could be considered to yield better outcomes. More research is critically needed to determine how AKI affects long-term outcomes and to look at preventive options.
