Cystatin C in risk prediction after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

No study has evaluated the prognostic value of the chronic kidney disease (CKD) classification by cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (CKD_Cys classification) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This study aimed to compare the prognostic value of CKD_Cys classification and CKD classification by creatinine-based eGFR (CKD_Cr classification) in risk prediction after TAVR.

Methods and results

We retrospectively analysed consecutive 219 patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR at our institute between December 2016 and June 2019. Pre-operative CKD_Cr and CKD_Cys classifications were evaluated for their prognostic value of 2-year major adver
