Abstract
Background: Incidental atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is common in patients undergoing vascular surgery and has been shown to be associated with postoperative AKI among patients undergoing major non-vascular surgeries. We hypothesized that patients with RAS undergoing major vascular procedures would have a higher incidence of AKI and postoperative complications than those without RAS. Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study of 200 patients who underwent elective open aortic or visceral bypass surgery (100 with postoperative AKI; 100 without AKI) were identified. RAS was then evaluated by review of pre-surgery CTAs with readers blinded to AKI status. RAS was defined as ≥50 % stenosis. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression was used to assess association of unilateral and bilateral RAS with postoperative outcomes. Results: 17.4 % (n = 28) of patients had unilateral RAS while 6.2 % (n = 10) of patients had bilateral RAS. Patients with bilateral RAS had similar preadmission creatinine and GFR as compared to unilateral RAS or no RAS. 100 % (n = 10) of patients with bilateral RAS had postoperative AKI compared with 45 % (n = 68) of patients with unilateral or no RAS (p
