Why the study?
Contrast volume is linked to acute kidney injury after TAVR, and reducing contrast was hypothesized to decrease acute kidney injury without compromising outcomes.
Does a low contrast approach (≤20 mL) reduce acute kidney injury in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
Population
594 patients undergoing TAVR
Comparison
Contrast 20 mL or less vs contrast more than 20 mL
Design
Single-institution retrospective analysis
Follow-up
30 days

No significant AKI reduction with low-contrast TAVR; leaves open benefit of further minimization in high-risk patients.
Does a low contrast approach (≤20 mL) reduce acute kidney injury in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
A low contrast approach (≤20 mL) during TAVR is feasible and safe, though the observed reduction in acute kidney injury compared to >20 mL was not statistically significant in this cohort.
