Why the study?
With TAVR indications expanding, the current impact of CKD and ESRD on post-TAVR in-hospital outcomes needed to be determined.
Does chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease increase in-hospital mortality and complications in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement compared to normal renal function?
Population
279,195 patients undergoing TAVR in the National Inpatient Sample
Comparison
CKD vs ESRD vs normal renal function
Design
Nationwide retrospective database study

CKD/ESRD patients warrant heightened periprocedural vigilance during TAVR; observational data leaves open whether renal optimization reduces complications.
Does chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease increase in-hospital mortality and complications in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement compared to normal renal function?
In a contemporary nationwide cohort, pre-existing CKD and ESRD were associated with a stepwise increase in in-hospital mortality and periprocedural complications following TAVR.
