Renal protection by intermittent cold crystalloid perfusion during thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRenal dysfunction is a major postoperative complication of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair and is closely associated with increased mortality. We adopted a simple method involving intermittent cold crystalloid perfusion into the renal arteries using gravity infusion during thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair and evaluated its effectiveness.
methodsBetween April 2011 and January 2024, 63 patients underwent open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair at Fukuoka University Hospital. After excluding 11 cases, 52 cases were retrospectively analyzed. Intermittent renal perfusion was performed using 4 °C lactated Ringer solution containing mannitol and methylprednisolone. Patients were classified into chronic kidney disease (< 45 mL/min) and non-chronic kidney disease groups (≥ 45 mL/min) based on the preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate, and renal function was assessed.
resultsThere were no significant differences in operative or ischemic parameters between the groups. Postoperative acute kidney injury (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes stage ≥ 2) occurred in 21% of all patients, with no significant difference between the groups. Serum creatinine levels increased transiently postoperatively in both groups but returned to baseline or improved at discharge. No patient required long-term dialysis. Urine output tended to be higher in the chronic kidney disease group than in the non-chronic kidney disease group, particularly during the early postoperative period.
conclusionsIntermittent cold crystalloid perfusion is a simple and effective method for renal protection in thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair with favorable clinical outcomes regardless of preoperative renal function. The absence of permanent dialysis cases suggests that this approach is safe and feasible, particularly in emergencies and resource-limited settings.
