Why the study?
With TAVR indications expanding, the current implications of chronic renal insufficiency, CKD, and ESRD on in-hospital outcomes after TAVR needed to be determined.
Does chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease increase in-hospital mortality and complications in patients undergoing TAVR?
Population
279,195 patients undergoing TAVR
Comparison
CKD vs ESRD vs normal renal function
Design
Nationwide retrospective database study
Follow-up
In-hospital

May inform pre-TAVR risk stratification in CKD/ESRD; leaves open prospective trials on mitigation strategies.
Does chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease increase in-hospital mortality and complications in patients undergoing TAVR?
Patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease undergoing TAVR have a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality and periprocedural complications compared to those with normal renal function, emphasizing the need for individualized patient selection.
