Abstract:
Acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients is associated with significantly increased mortality across a broad spectrum of conditions. According to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database, patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement with or without coronary artery bypass grafting had a more than 50% reduction in observed 8-year survival compared with those without chronic kidney disease. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is an exciting new approach for the treatment of aortic stenosis in high-risk or inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis. This article discusses the incidence, predictors, impact, and potential avoidance and management strategies of renal dysfunction associated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
