[PMID: 36213627 PMCID: PMC9533127 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.859318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) may require renal replacement therapy (RRT), such as hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a sensitive indicator for early diagnosis and recognition of AKI; however, its predictive value of AKI-associated need for RRT needs further evaluation. Methods Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, relevant articles were systematically searched and selected from seven databases. The random effects model was applied to evaluate the predictive performance of NGAL for AKI requiring RRT. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of each included study. Results A total of 18 studies including 1,787 patients with AKI and having an average NOS score of 7.67 were included in the meta-analysis. For plasma/serum NGAL, the pooled sensitivity and specificity with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were 0.75 (95% CI: 0.68–0.81) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.70–0.81), respectively. The pooled positive likelihood ratio (PLR) was 2.9 (95% CI: 2.1–4.1), and the pooled negative likelihood ratio (NLR) was 0.34 (95% CI: 0.25–0.46). Subsequently, the pooled diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 9 (95% CI: 5–16) using a random effects model, and the area under the curve (AUC) of summary receiver operating characteristic to summarize predictive accuracy was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.79–0.85). For urine NGAL, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, DOR, and AUC values were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.61–0.90), 0.77 (95% CI: 0.65–0.85), 3.4 (95% CI: 2.4–4.8), 0.28 (95% CI: 0.15–0.52), 12 (95% CI: 6–24), and 0.84 (95% CI: 0.80–0.87), respectively. Conclusion Plasma/serum and urine NGAL levels performed comparably well in predicting AKI requiring RRT. Our findings suggested that NGAL is an effective predictive biomarker for the AKI-associated need for RRT. Nevertheless, more pieces of high-quality evidence and future trials with larger sample sizes are needed for further improvement of patient outcomes.

Propensity matched comparison of TAVI and SAVR in intermediate-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis and moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease: a subgroup analysis from the German Aortic Valve Registry. Clin Res Cardiol 2022; 111:1387-1395. [PMID: 36074270 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-022-02083-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We compared TAVI vs. SAVR in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (eGFR 15-60 ml/min/1.73 m2) for whom both procedures could possibly be considered (age ≤ 80 years, STS-score 4-8). BACKGROUND According to both ACC/AHA and ESC/EACTS recent guidelines, aortic stenosis may be treated with either transcatheter (TAVI) or surgical (SAVR) aortic valve replacement in a subgroup of patients. A shared therapeutic decision is made by a heart team based on individual factors, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS Data from the large nationwide German Aortic Valve Registry were used. A propensity score method was used to select 704 TAVI and 374 SAVR matched patients. Primary endpoint was 1-year survival. Secondary endpoints were clinical complications, including pacemaker implantation, vascular complications, myocardial infarction, bleeding, and the need for new-onset dialysis. RESULTS One-year survival was similar (HR [95% CI] for TAVI 1.271 [0.795, 2.031], p = 0.316), with no divergence in Kaplan-Meier curves. In spite of post-procedural short-term survival being numerically higher for TAVI patients and 1-year survival being numerically higher for SAVR patients, such differences did not reach statistical significance (96.4% vs. 94.2%, p = 0.199, and 86.2% vs. 81.2%, p = 0.316, respectively). In weighted analyses, pacemaker implantation, vascular complications, and were significantly more common with TAVI; whereas myocardial infarction, bleeding requiring transfusion, and longer ICU-stay and overall hospitalization were higher with SAVR. Temporary dialysis was more common with SAVR (p < 0.0001); however, a probable need for chronic dialysis was rare and similar in both groups. CONCLUSION Both TAVI and SAVR led to comparable and excellent results in patients with moderate-to-severe CKD in an intermediate-risk population of patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis for whom both therapies could possibly be considered.

CSA-AKI: Incidence, Epidemiology, Clinical Outcomes, and Economic Impact. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10245746.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common complication following cardiac surgery and reflects a complex biological combination of patient pathology, perioperative stress, and medical management. Current diagnostic criteria, though increasingly standardized, are predicated on loss of renal function (as measured by functional biomarkers of the kidney). The addition of new diagnostic injury biomarkers to clinical practice has shown promise in identifying patients at risk of renal injury earlier in their course. The accurate and timely identification of a high-risk population may allow for bundled interventions to prevent the development of CSA-AKI, but further validation of these interventions is necessary. Once the diagnosis of CSA-AKI is established, evidence-based treatment is limited to supportive care. The cost of CSA-AKI is difficult to accurately estimate, given the diverse ways in which it impacts patient outcomes, from ICU length of stay to post-hospital rehabilitation to progression to CKD and ESRD. However, with the global rise in cardiac surgery volume, these costs are large and growing.

Worsening renal function after transcatheter aortic valve replacement and surgical aortic valve replacement. Heart Vessels 2021; 36:1080-1087. [PMID: 33495856 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-021-01778-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Several prior reports have investigated worsening renal function around transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures. However, in clinical practice, it seems more important to evaluate changes associated with TAVR-related procedures, including preoperative enhanced computed tomography (CT), as well as the TAVR procedure itself, as CT assessment is considered essential for safe TAVR. This study evaluated worsening renal function during the TAVR perioperative period, from the preoperative enhanced CT to 1 month after TAVR, and then compared the incidence with that in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). This retrospective single-center study investigated 123 TAVR patients and 130 SAVR patients. We evaluated baseline renal function before enhanced CT in TAVR patients and before operation in SAVR patients, and again at 1 month post-operatively. We defined worsening renal function at 1 month according to three definitions: (1) an increase in serum creatinine ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or ≥ 1.5-fold from baseline or initiation of dialysis, (2) a decline in eGFR at 1 month ≥ 20% from baseline or initiation of dialysis, (3) a decline in eGFR at 1 month ≥ 30% from baseline or initiation of dialysis. TAVR patients were significantly older and had higher surgical risk scores than SAVR patients. In TAVR patients, serum creatinine levels were 1.00 ± 0.32 mg/dL at baseline and 1.01 ± 0.40 mg/dL at 1 month post-operatively (p = 0.58), while in SAVR patients, these levels were 0.99 ± 0.51 mg/dL and 0.98 ± 0.49 mg/dL, respectively (p = 0.59). In TAVR patients, 7 (5.7%), 14 (11.4%), and 3 (2.4%) patients experienced worsening renal function according to the three definitions, respectively, but there were no significant differences from those in SAVR patients, for any definition. Worsening renal function after TAVR was uncommon, and the incidence rate was comparable to that in SAVR patients, even though TAVR patients had worse baseline characteristics.

Outcomes of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and predictors of thirty-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and one-year mortality. Hellenic J Cardiol 2020; 62:57-64. [PMID: 33007466 DOI: 10.1016/j.hjc.2020.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2020] [Revised: 09/05/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE TAVI is more frequently used to treat aortic stenosis with the mandate to have a low as possible rate of adverse events. We present our 30-day outcomes and one-year mortality and examine the factors associated with them. METHODS A prospective evaluation was performed of all patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI in Nicosia General Hospital from January 2015 until March 2020. MACE were defined as cardiac death, disabling stroke, and/or major vascular complications (VC). Multiple logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to identify the factors associated with 30-day MACE and one-year mortality, respectively. RESULTS A total of 235 TAVI procedures were performed (178 balloon-expandable, 57 self-expandable). Thirty-day outcomes were MACE: 4.3%, cardiovascular death: 2.1%, disabling stroke: 1.3%, major VC: 1.7%, and contrast induced nephropathy (CIN): 4.3%. There was a rate of 6.2% new pacemaker implantations and 0.9% of more than mild aortic valve regurgitation (AR) at 30 days. Mortality at one year was 15.1%. The balloon-expandable valves appear to have less new pacemakers, less mild AR, lower contrast volume used, and less days of hospitalization, while the self-expandable valves have lower post-procedural gradients. Low hemoglobulin, history of atrial fibrillation (AF), and lower BMI were predictors of 30-day MACE. Serum creatinine >2 mg/dL, history of AF, RVSP >60 mmHg and major VC are predictors of one-year mortality. CONCLUSION We have shown excellent 30-day results with low incidence of adverse events for both the balloon-expandable and self-expandable valves. Clinical factors are the main predictors of both 30-day MACE and one-year mortality; major VC is a strong predictor of one-year mortality.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an accepted treatment approach of aortic stenosis. In the beginning, this technique was executed in high-risk patients only. Today, intermediate-risk patients are also amenable for TAVI, as long as the transfemoral approach is chosen. Numerous predictors have been identified that could lead to periprocedural complications and are defined by patient co-morbidities as well as being inherent to the technical approach. Although vascular complications and postinterventional paravalvular regurgitation have been minimized over the past years by revised technologies and techniques, there is a prevailing individual risk brought about by the specific pathophysiology of the cardiorenal syndrome.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) following aortic valve replacement is associated with poor prognosis. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel strategy with a percutaneous approach and early recovery time. We conducted this meta-analysis to compare TAVR to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and their respective renal outcomes. Methods We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using MEDLINE, PUBMED, and Google Scholar databases from their inception till April 6, 2019, and included eight trials comparing TAVR to SAVR in cases that reported AKIs. Results We found a significant reduction in AKI after TAVR compared to SAVR at 30 days [n = 66 vs. n = 160, respectively; odds ratio (OR) = 0.38, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.28-0.51; p: <0.00001, I2 = 0%]. At one year, a trend towards reduced renal failure was noted in the TAVR arm compared to the SAVR arm (n = 74 vs. n = 129, respectively; OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.32-1.01; p = 0.05, I2 = 69%). Conclusion Based on our findings and analysis, we have concluded that TAVR is associated with significantly reduced renal injury at 30 days when compared to SAVR.

Abstract
Aortic stenosis is the most common cause of valve replacement in Europe and North America with prevalence increasing with age. Transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) represents an alternative for surgical valve replacement of severely stenotic valves. Despite lower risk of acute kidney injury compared to that associated with surgery, this complication remains prevalent in patients undergoing TAVR. There is a paucity of data confirming the relation of acute kidney injury with high morbidity and mortality, especially when superimposed on chronic kidney disease, which is a frequent comorbidity in the elderly with severe aortic stenosis. As there is no consensus on the prevention of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing TAVR, identification and limitation of risk factors are crucial. In this review, we aim to discuss the key aspects of acute kidney injury diagnosis, risk assessment, and outcomes in TAVR patients, and to point out gaps in current knowledge.
