Acute renal insufficiency (ARI) represents a frequent and serious complication in patients submitted to cardiac surgery, and is associated with increases in time of hospitalization, costs, morbidity and mortality. Its incidence varies from 3.5% to 31%. The present study aims to evaluate renal function and oxidative stress in patients submitted to revascularization surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC), comparing targeted venous anesthesia controlled with propofol and inhalational anesthesia with isoflurane.
