Abstract:: Recent studies have suggested that contrast medium (CM) volume is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, in a high-risk elderly TAVR population, the prognostic value and ideal threshold of CM dosage for AKI is unclear. Data of 532 successive TAVR patients (age 81.1 +/- 6.8 years, EuroSCORE II 4.8% +/- 6.0%) were therefore retrospectively analyzed. Based on a recently published formula, the renal function (preprocedural serum creatinine: SCr) corrected ratio of CM and body weight (CM*SCr/BW) was calculated to determine the risk of postprocedural contrast-associated AKI. AKI occurred in 94 patients (18.3%) and significantly increased 1-year all-cause mortality (23.4% vs. 13.1%; p = 0.001). A significant correlation between AKI and 30-day as well as 1-year all-cause mortality was observed (p = 0.001; p = 0.007). However, no association between CM dosage or the CM*SCr/BW ratio with the occurrence of AKI was seen (p = 0.968; p = 0.442). In our all-comers, all-access cohort, we found no relationship between CM dosage, or the established risk ratio model and the occurrence of postprocedural AKI. Further research needs to be directed towards different pathophysiological causes and preventive measures as AKI impairs short- and long-term survival.
