C-85 | How Much Contrast Is Too Much? Use of the Mehran Risk Score in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Key Result

The performance of risk stratification tools such as the Mehran risk score and MACD ratio for predicting contrast-induced acute kidney injury in TAVR cohorts is less well defined.

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Mehran risk score in predicting acute kidney injury during transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures.
• Evaluated risk stratification tools for predicting contrast-induced acute kidney injury in transcatheter aortic valve replacement cohorts.
• Utilized the Mehran risk score and maximum allowable contrast dose ratio in assessments.
• Identified contrast-induced nephropathy as a significant cause of renal failure during TAVR.
• Demonstrated that the Mehran risk score shows potential in predicting risk for acute kidney injury in this population.
