The incidence, predictors, and prognosis of acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve implantation .

Introduction And Aims: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an alternative procedure for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis unfit for open heart surgery. Notwithstanding the safer profile, TAVI can still result in serious complications including acute kidney injury (AKI).

Materials And Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study to investigate the incidence of AKI following TAVI, identify any predictors, and assess the impact on patient survival.
