Impact of preoperative elevated serum creatinine on long-term outcome of patients undergoing aortic repair with Stanford A dissection: a retrospective matched pair analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the present study was to determine whether raised preoperative serum creatinine affected the long-term outcome in patients undergoing surgical aortic repair for Stanford A acute aortic dissection (AAD).

Methods

A total of 240 patients diagnosed with Stanford A AAD underwent surgical repair from January 2006 to April 2015. A propensity score matching was applied, resulting in 73 pairs consisting of one group with normal and one group with preoperative elevated creatinine levels. The cohorts were well balanced for baseline and preoperative clinical characteristics. Both groups were compared regarding their early postoperative variables, as well as estimated survival with up to 9-year follow up. Also, the impact of acute postoperative kidney injury and its
