Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is linked to higher in-hospital mortality for patients on veno-arterial ECMO, but the specific effects of KDIGO AKI stages have not been fully studied.
- A retrospective analysis of 179 patients revealed that as age increases, the odds of mortality within 30 days rise by 4%, and any presence of AKI increases mortality odds by 59%.
- Higher KDIGO stages of AKI are associated with increased mortality risk at 30 days, indicating that further research is necessary to confirm these preliminary findings.

Major vascular complications after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are a pertinent issue and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We herein describe a case of acute limb ischemia following the administration of protamine sulfate (PS) that was administered to mitigate a bleeding complication post-failure of a vascular access closure device. PS should be used cautiously for the prevention or management of bleeding-site complications following TAVR.
