Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease on Outcomes in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant comorbidity in aortic stenosis (AS) patients. We examined the impact of baseline CKD, postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and CKD progression on clinical outcomes in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients with severe AS who underwent TAVI were classified into CKD stages 1–2 (≥60 mL/min/1.72m2), 3 (30–59...
