Background Renal failure is a frequent complication of juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (JAA)‐repair. During this operation, suprarenal aortic‐clamping is followed by infrarenal aortic‐clamping (below renal arteries) to restore renal flow, while performing the distal anastomosis. We hypothesized that infrarenal aortic‐clamping, despite restoring renal perfusion provokes additional renal damage.
Materials and methods We studied three groups of rats. After 45 min of suprarenal aortic‐clamping, group 1 had renal reperfusion for 90 min without aortic‐clamps (n = 7). In group 2, 45 min of suprarenal aortic‐clamping with a distal clamp on the aortic‐bifurcation was followed by 20 min of infrarenal aortic‐clamping. Renal reperfusion was continued for 70 min without aortic‐clamps (i.e. 90 min of renal reperfusion; n = 8). The sham‐group had no clamps (n = 7). We measured renal haemodynamics, functional parameters and tissue damage.
Results On suprarenal aortic‐clamp removal, renal artery flow, cortical flow and arterial pressures were higher in group 2 than in group 1. We detected increased tubular brush border damage, luminal lipocalin‐2 and 30–60% higher renal protein nitrosylation in group 2 when compared to group 1 (P |
