Does contrast agent injection during trans-catheter aortic valve implantation negatively affect kidney function?
Journal Title: Kardiologia Polska - Year 2011, Vol 69, Issue 3
Abstract
Trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has recently emerged as an alternative to conventional surgery in high-risk surgical patients with haemodynamically significant aortic valve stenosis. However, patients referred for TAVI are usually elderly individuals (> 80 years) who frequently also suffer from renal impairment. Trans-catheter valve therapies require extensive use of contrast injections with a risk of nephrotoxicity.
