Acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve implantation with self-expanding CoreValve prosthesis: results from a large multicentre Italian research project

Abstract

Acute kidney injury is a frequent complication and significantly impacts on both early and long-term TAVI survival. Females, subjects with impaired renal function at baseline, patients undergoing TAVI under general anaesthesia, and patients receiving ≥3 RBC units after the procedure should be considered populations at high risk for the development of AKI after TAVI.
