Why the study?
Venous congestion contributes to perioperative organ dysfunction, but the association between pre- or postprocedural Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) and acute kidney injury after TAVR had not been determined.
Does the Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) predict acute kidney injury in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
Does the Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) predict acute kidney injury in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
Postprocedural VExUS assessment is a highly sensitive and specific noninvasive tool for predicting acute kidney injury after TAVR.
Suggests noninvasive venous congestion profiling may help stratify post-TAVR renal risk; leaves.
