Butyrylcholinesterase as a perioperative complication marker in patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is performed in elderly patients with severe aortic valve stenosis and increased operative risks. We tested the hypothesis that acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) have a predictive value for prevalent complications after TAVI and could serve as indicators of systemic inflammation in the early postoperative period.

Design

Prospective observational study.

Setting

This study is a secondary analysis of multicentre CESARO- study.

Participants

48 patients with TAVI were included and 43 obtained the complete assessment.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Patients' clinical parameters, demographic data, peripheral AChE and BChE activities and routine blood markers were assess
