Objective: Contrast agent is a potential risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). Little is known
about the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after trans-apical aortic valve …

OBJECTIVE Patients undergoing transapical aortic valve implantation (TA-AVI) are usually
over 80 years old and have a high prevalence of chronic kidney disease. However …

BACKGROUND: The new technique of minimally invasive transapical aortic valve
implantation (TAP-AVI) deals with high-risk patients and despite the absence of …

There is a paucity of data describing acute kidney injury (AKI) following transcatheter aortic
valve implantation and its impact on mortality remains unknown. We therefore evaluate the …

Background Chronic kidney disease is a significant risk factor for mortality as well as acute
kidney injury in cardiac surgery. The impact of contrast agent application on outcome is not …

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs following transcatheter aortic valve
implantation (TAVI) and has been related to a worse outcome. We investigated the …

BACKGROUND: Cardiac computed tomographic scans, coronary angiograms, and
aortographies are routinely performed in transcatheter heart valve therapies. Consequently …

Background. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is widely used in high risk
patients (pts) with aortic stenosis. Underlying chronic kidney disease implicates a high risk of …

Background Limited data exist on renal complications of transcatheter aortic valve
implantation (TAVI) within a comprehensive program using different valves with …

Aim To identify independent predictors of contrast medium-induced acute kidney injury (CI-
AKI) after enhanced multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) prior to transcatheter …
