Acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: Frequency, prediction and its impact on 30-day and longterm mortality

Objectives: Although transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become widely used in surgical high risk patients (pts) with aortic stenosis, complication rates and longterm mortality remain high. Chronic kidney disease is one of the most frequent comorbidities and implicates a high risk of postprocedural acute kidney injury (AKI). We analyzed its occurrence and impact on hospital stay, 30-day and longterm mortality.
