Acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: incidence, risk factors, and prognostic effects.

Abstract

Acute kidney injury occurred in 12.3% of the patients after TAVI and persisted in only one patient before hospital discharge. Diabetes and preoperative creatinine level were found to be the main predictive factors of AKI after TAVI. Acute kidney injury was not associated with increased 1-year mortality.
