Abstract

The renal safety of suprarenal (SR) fixation stent grafts has not been demonstrated yet. The principal objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the type of fixation of stent grafts on the renal function at 1 year, by calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The secondary objective was the evaluation of the morphological repercussion of the implants at the renal level by computed tomography.
