Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in octogenarians with chronic kidney disease (CKD), focusing on comparing those with low-grade (LG) and high-grade (HG) CKD.
- It analyzed data from nearly 75,000 patients, finding that those with HG CKD had significantly higher odds of in-hospital complications, including mortality, cardiogenic shock, and the need for permanent pacemaker implantation.
- However, both groups showed similar risks for cerebrovascular accidents and mechanical circulatory support, indicating that while HG CKD patients face more serious issues, some outcomes are comparable between the two groups.
Background: Limited data is available on the comparison of outcomes of transradial (TR) and transfemoral (TF) access for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with end-stage stage renal disease (ESRD).
Methods: Online databases were queried to compare cardiovascular outcomes among TR. and TF in ESRD patients.
