Acute kidney injury may impede results after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Severe complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are rare due to increasing procedural safety. However, TAVI procedure-related haemodynamic instability and increased risk of infection may affect renal functional reserve with subsequent renal acidosis and hyperkalaemia.

Objective

In this study, we investigated incidence, modifiable risk factors and prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) and AKI complicated by hyperkalaemia, pulmonary oedema or metabolic acidosis after TAVI.

Methods

In a retrospective single-centre study, 804 consecutive patients hospitalized during 2017 and 2018 for elective TAVI were included. AKI was defined according to the 'Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome' (KDIGO) initiative. Variables on co-morb
