Is multifocality of renal cell tumors a factor to consider before performing a partial nephrectomy?
Although partial nephrectomies are justified from their survival rates, close follow-up is necessary because separate primary tumors may still exist in the kidney, left behind, irrespective of tumor size.
Cardiac catheterization within 1 to 3 days of elective proximal aortic surgery appears safe and should be considered acceptable practice for patients at low risk of acute kidney injury.
