Key result
Stage 1 AKI post-TAVI is linked to worse survival and higher mortality beyond three years.
Why the study?
Does acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve implantation affect survival and mortality?
Does acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve implantation affect survival and mortality?
Acute kidney injury, even at stage 1, following transcatheter aortic valve implantation is associated with significantly increased short- and long-term mortality.
Clinicians should prioritize AKI prevention after TAVI; confirms and extends long-term mortality risk beyond 3 years.
The reason for the occurrence of AKI was multifactorial, including baseline characteristics, procedure-related and post-TAVI factors. It appeared that even stage 1 AKI exerted detrimental effects on survival within one year, and AKI was also independently linked to mortality beyond three years.
