Abstract
Background: Contrast volume is a major risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) after TAVR. Use of a low-contrast (LC) protocol in TAVR may reduce AKI without impacting other clinical outcomes.
Methods: TAVR patients with Stage 3b or worse CKD between 2015 and 2020 were grouped into LC and normal-contrast (NC). LC was defined as TAVR procedure contrast use (mL) less than estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, mL/min/1.73 m2). The primary outcome was AKI, defined as creatinine elevation > 200% or ≥ 0.3 mg/dL from baseline. Secondary outcomes were 30-day mortality, length of stay, paravalvular leak at 30 days, new dialysis requirement, major vascular complication, re-admission, bleeding, and a composite primary endpoint of secondary outcomes. We performed a propensity-matched analysis, compared cohort outcomes, and stratified outcomes by AKI severity.
Results: Four hundred thirty-seven patients were analyzed. The LC group (n = 173) were more commonly male and had a lower baseline eGFR (31 vs. 33, p = 0.03) than the NC group (n = 264). After propensity-matching, AKI occurred less frequently in LC patients than in the NC patients (17.9 vs. 28.3%, p = 0.0217). There were no inter-group differences in mortality, new dialysis requirement, major vascular complications, bleeding, or re-admissions.
Conclusions: In TAVR patients with CKD, LC volume was associated with reduced risk of AKI, supporting a LC approach for TAVR in CKD patients.
Aims: We sought to evaluate the outcomes of a LC versus normal-contrast dose strategy in TAVR amongst patients with CKD.
期刊介绍:
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions is an international journal covering the broad field of cardiovascular diseases. Subject material includes basic and clinical information that is derived from or related to invasive and interventional coronary or peripheral vascular techniques. The journal focuses on material that will be of immediate practical value to physicians providing patient care in the clinical laboratory setting. To accomplish this, the journal publishes Preliminary Reports and Work In Progress articles that complement the traditional Original Studies, Case Reports, and Comprehensive Reviews. Perspective and insight concerning controversial subjects and evolving technologies are provided regularly through Editorial Commentaries furnished by members of the Editorial Board and other experts. Articles are subject to double-blind peer review and complete editorial evaluation prior to any decision regarding acceptability.
