Why the study?
Patients with renal insufficiency have poor short-term outcomes after TAVR, prompting evaluation of long-term outcomes with minimal contrast.
Does baseline renal insufficiency affect long-term outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR with a minimal contrast approach?

Lower pre-TAVR GFR signals higher unadjusted long-term mortality; leaves open independent prognostic value after multivariable adjustment.
Does baseline renal insufficiency affect long-term outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR with a minimal contrast approach?
Patients with baseline renal insufficiency undergoing TAVR have higher rates of peri-procedural stroke and a trend toward higher long-term mortality despite procedural optimization with a minimal contrast approach.
