Simple Pre-Surgery trick may shield kidneys from damage
NCT ID NCT07441564
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a short, controlled clamping of the aorta before aneurysm surgery can prevent acute kidney injury. About 206 patients will be randomly assigned to receive this preconditioning or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple procedure lowers the risk of kidney damage after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ischemic preconditioning (brief clamping of the aorta before surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple way to protect kidneys during high-risk aneurysm surgery, reducing complications and improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early human test of a technique never tried in people before. It may not reduce kidney injury, and the clamping itself carries some risk.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18-85 years * Patients with juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms scheduled for open surgery * Patients with juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms, which require suprarenal aortic cross clamping * Patients with juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms, which are of atheromatous etiology or which developed after aortic dissection * Affiliation with, or beneficiary of a Social security (national health insurance) scheme * Adult having read and understood the information letter and signed the consent form * Women of childbearing potential with effective contraception according WHO definition (estrogen-progestin contraception or intrauterine device or male condom) since at least 1 month with a negative blood pregnancy test by b-HCG at inclusion. * Women surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus or tubal ligation) * Postmenopausal women: confirmation of non-medically induced amenorrhea since at least 12 months prior to the inclusion visit Exclusion Criteria: * Patients dependent from dialysis * Patients with aortic aneurysms, which require reconstruction of the visceral arteries * Patients with aortic aneurysms, which require supra-visceral aortic cross clamping * Patients with wall thrombus or calcification of inter- and suprarenal aorta * Patients with septic aortitis * Patients with aneurysm requiring stent graft (EVAR) explantation * Patients requiring emergency surgery * Patients receiving treatments that may interact with preconditioning: Nicorandil and Glibenclamide * Pregnant or parturient or breastfeeding woman or absence of proven contraception * Person deprived of liberty by an administrative or judiciary decision or person placed under judicial protection, under guardianship or curatorship * Person participating to another trial during the month before randomization * Medical history or psychological or sensorial abnormality prone to inhibit the subject to understand the conditions required for his/her participation to the protocol or unable to give an informed consent
