Abstract: Item does not contain fulltext OBJECTIVES: to determine the difference in renal and systemic response between open and endovascular aneurysm repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: we studied prospectively 22 patients undergoing open repair (OR) and 15 patients undergoing endovascular repair (ER). Blood and urine samples were taken preoperatively (T0) and before clamping of the aorta or femoral artery (T1) and 5 min (T2), 1 h (T3), 6 h (T4), 24 h (Day 1) and 48 h (Day 2) after declamping. Albumin/creatinin ratio (AC ratio) in urine, serum albumin, serum creatinin, serum C-reactive protein and serum lactate were determined. RESULTS: the urinary AC ratio in ER was significantly lower than in OR (p
