Why the study?
TAVI-related haemodynamic instability and infection risk may impair renal functional reserve, but the incidence, modifiable risk factors, and prognosis of AKI and complicated AKI after TAVI required investigation.

AKI after TAVI signals high in-hospital mortality risk warranting close monitoring; leaves open whether prevention reduces death in observational data.
What is the incidence, risk factors, and prognostic impact of acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
Acute kidney injury is a common complication after TAVI (13.8%) and is strongly associated with increased in-hospital mortality, highlighting the need for careful renal monitoring and management.
Haase‐Fielitz et al. (2020) studied this question.
