Does advanced chronic kidney disease worsen clinical outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
Does advanced chronic kidney disease worsen clinical outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
Advanced CKD is associated with significantly higher early and late mortality and bleeding following TAVI, with the combination of atrial fibrillation and dialysis conferring an unacceptably high 1-year mortality rate of 71%.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support intensified monitoring in advanced CKD TAVI patients; leaves open whether AF or dialysis optimization improves survival.
Allende et al. (2014) studied this question.
