Abstract

Background:

Randomized trials have consistently shown lower rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Comparative rates of AKI for TAVR versus SAVR, and predictors and prognostic implications of AKI after aortic valve replacement (AVR) have not been well studied in nationally representative real-world data.

Objectives:

First, to compare rates of AKI and dialysis requiring AKI in TAVR versus SAVR. Second, to determine predictors of AKI and prognostic implications of AKI in patients undergoing TAVR or SAVR.

Methods:

We used the 2011-14 National Inpatient Sample to identify all patients undergoing isolated TAVR or SAVR using validated international classification of diseases, ninth revision ICD-9 codes. Rates of AKI and AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-D) were compared between the two groups using a propensity-matched design. Predictors of AKI and prognostic impact of AKI on in-hospital outcomes were ascertained using multivariate logistic regression.

Results:

A total of 8004 unweighted TAVR procedures and 29 355 unweighted SAVR procedures representative of 39 898 TAVR and 143 608 SAVR procedures nationwide were included in the analysis. Mean age of all patients undergoing AVR was 70.9 years and 42.3% were females. In a propensity-matched cohort of 4889 pairs of TAVR and SAVR procedures, TAVR was associated with significantly lower rates of AKI [odds ratio (OR) 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.66-0.80, P < 0.001] and AKI-D (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.50-0.96, P = 0.03) compared with SAVR. AKI was associated with significantly higher rates of in-hospital mortality for TAVR (OR 7.16, 95% CI 5.52-9.29, P < 0.001) as well as SAVR (OR 9.43, 95% CI 7.71-11.55, P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

In a large propensity-matched cohort of TAVR and SAVR procedures, TAVR was associated with significantly lower rates of AKI and AKI-D compared with SAVR. AKI and AKI-D are predictors of poor in-hospital outcomes in TAVR as well as SAVR.

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction

Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...

Acute Kidney Injury II: Pathophysiology

Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes are categorized into three primary categories based on the location of the injury: prerenal, intrarenal (or intrinsic), and postrenal causes. This classification guides clinical management and illustrates how different pathways can impair kidney function.Etiology and Pathophysiology of Acute Kidney Injury1. Prerenal causesEtiology: Prerenal Acute Kidney Injury, the most common type, occurs when reduced blood flow to the kidneys decreases filtration capacity...

Acute Kidney Injury VI: Nursing Management

Acute Kidney Injury VI: Nursing Management

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) results in an inability to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Effective nursing management is critical in improving patient outcomes and includes comprehensive patient assessment and targeted interventions.Comprehensive Patient AssessmentA detailed history collection is essential, focusing on any recent infections, nephrotoxic medication use, or chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes that may contribute to AKI. During the physical...

Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care

Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Acute Kidney Injury III: Clinical Manifestations

Acute Kidney Injury III: Clinical Manifestations

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) progresses through distinct clinical phases: the oliguric, diuretic, and recovery phases, each marked by unique manifestations and challenges.Oliguric Phase:The oliguric phase is the initial stage of AKI, typically lasting 10 to 14 days. This phase is marked by a significant reduction in urine output, usually less than 400 mL per day, indicating decreased kidney function. Fluid retention is a prominent feature, leading to symptoms such as edema, hypertension, and...

Acute Kidney Injury IV: Diagnostic Studies and Prevention

Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...
