The feasibility of relaxation-enhanced angiography without contrast and triggering for preprocedural planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1284743. [PMID: 38179508 PMCID: PMC10766106 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1284743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Cardiovascular MRI is advantageous in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of comprehensive non-contrast MRI [relaxation-enhanced angiography without contrast and triggering (REACT)] combined with a three-dimensional whole-heart MRI protocol for preprocedural planning of TAVI vs. computed tomography angiography (CTA). Methods Thirty patients with severe aortic stenosis were prospectively enrolled. The anatomical properties of the aortic root anatomy, including the perimeter and area of the virtual aortic valve annulus and coronary heights, were determined from 3D whole-heart MRI and cardiac CTA (CCTA) images, respectively. The diameters of the aorta (thoracic and abdominal aorta) and iliofemoral arteries were measured from REACT and aortic CTA (ACTA) images, respectively. A paired t-test was used to compare these two modalities. Bland-Altman plots were used to assess cardiovascular MRI and CTA measurements. Transcatheter heart valve (THV) sizing was performed based on CCTA measurements and compared with 3D whole-heart MRI measurements. The extent of annular calcification on 3D whole-heart MRI images was evaluated by a four-point grading scale and compared with CCTA data. Results All 30 patients completed CTA and cardiovascular MRI examinations, with the TAVI procedure being administered in 25 patients. The mean acquisition time of the comprehensive MRI protocol was 18 ± 3.2 min. There were no significant differences between ACTA and REACT data in regard to the diameters of aortic and iliofemoral arteries, including the ascending thoracic aorta (37 ± 4.6 mm vs. 37.7 ± 5.2 mm, p = 0.085), descending thoracic aorta (24.3 ± 2.8 mm vs. 24.3 ± 2.8 mm, p = 0.832), abdominal aorta (20.9 ± 2.5 mm vs. 20.8 ± 2.5 mm, p = 0.602), bilateral common iliac arteries (right: 8.36 ± 1.44 mm vs. 8.42 ± 1.27 mm, p = 0.590; left: 8.61 ± 1.71 mm vs. 8.86 ± 1.46 mm, p = 0.050), and bilateral femoral arteries (right: 6.77 ± 1.06 mm vs. 6.87 ± 1.00 mm, p = 0.157; left: 6.75 ± 1.02 mm vs. 6.90 ± 0.80 mm, p = 0.142). Both modalities showed similar aortic valve morphology and semi-quantitative valve calcification (all, p's > 0.05). Overall agreement for implanted THV was found in all 25 (100%) patients assessed with both modalities. Conclusion REACT combined with 3D whole-heart MRI enables reliable measurements of aortic root anatomy, annular calcification, and aorta and iliofemoral access in patients under evaluation for TAVI.

Abstract
Percutaneous structural interventions have a major impact on the morbidity, mortality, and quality of life of patients by providing a lower-risk alternative to cardiac surgery. However, renal disease has a significant impact on outcomes of these interventions. This review explores the incidence, outcomes, pathophysiology, and preventative measures of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease on transcatheter aortic valve replacement, transcatheter mitral valve repair, and percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty. Given the expanding indications for percutaneous structural interventions, further research is needed to identify ideal patients with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease who would benefit from intervention.

Abstract
The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the effect of different independent predictors on acute kidney injury (AKI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This meta-analysis adhered to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A comprehensive database search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus for the period from January 1, 2015, to August 15, 2023. The following key terms were employed: "transcatheter aortic valve implantation" OR "transcatheter aortic valve replacement" AND "acute kidney injury" OR "acute renal failure." Our search was limited to studies published exclusively in the English language. The statistical analysis was conducted using RevMan version 5.4.1 (The Cochrane Collaboration). Estimates were presented as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for categorical variables, while continuous variables were reported as mean difference (MD) with 95% CI. A total of 19 studies met the selection criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of AKI was reported as 20% (95% CI: 18-20%). Factors significantly associated with post-TAVI AKI encompass hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), high baseline creatinine levels, peripheral vascular disease (PVD), Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score, European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EUROscore) II, and the transfemoral surgical approach.

Supra-renal aortic atheroma extent and composition predict acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A three-dimensional computed tomography study. Int J Cardiol 2023; 381:8-15. [PMID: 37001646 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2023.03.053] [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: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute kidney injury (AKI) may complicate transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and could be linked to atheroembolization associated with catheter manipulation in the supra-renal (SR) aorta. We sought to determine the impact of SR aortic atheroma burden (SR-AAB) and composition, as well as of the aortic valve calcium score (AV-CS), measured at pre-operative multislice computed tomography (PO-MSCT), on AKI-TAVR. METHODS All TAVR-patients 3 January-2018 to December-2020 were included. A three-dimensional analysis of PO-MSCT was performed, calculating percentage SR-AAB (%SR-AAB) as [(absolute SR-AAB volume)*100/vessel volume]. Types of plaque were defined according to Hounsfield unit (HU) intensity ranges. Calcified plaque was subcategorized into 3 strata: low- (351-700 HU), mid- (701-1000 HU), and high‑calcium (>1000 HU, termed 1 K-plaque). RESULTS The study population included 222 patients [mean age 83.3 ± 5.7 years, 95 (42.8%) males], AKI-TAVR occurred in 67/222 (30.2%). Absolute SR-AAB (41.3 ± 16.4 cm3 vs. 32.5 ± 10.7 cm3,p < 0.001) and %SR-AAB (17.6 ± 5.1% vs. 13.9 ± 4.3%,p < 0.001) were significantly higher in patients developing AKI-TAVR. Patients who developed AKI-TAVR had higher mid‑calcium (6.9 ± 3.8% vs. 4.2 ± 3.5%,p < 0.001) and 1 K-plaque (5.4 ± 3.7% vs. 2.4 ± 2.4%,p < 0.001) with no difference in AV-CS (p = 0.691). Adjusted multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that %SR-AAB [OR (x%increase): 1.12, 95%CI: 1.04-1.22,p = 0.006] and %SR-calcified plaque [OR (x%increase): 5.60, 95%CI: 2.50-13.36,p < 0.001] were associated with AKI-TAVR. Finally, 3-knots spline analyses identified %SR-AAB >15.0% and %SR-calcified plaque >7.0% as optimal thresholds to predict an increased risk of AKI-TAVR. CONCLUSIONS Suprarenal aortic atheroma, when highly calcified, is associated with AKI-TAVR. Perioperative-MSCT assessment of aortic atherosclerosis may help in identification of patients at high-risk for AKI-TAVR, who could benefit from higher peri-operative surveillance.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the use of prophylactic intravenous hydration (IV prophylaxis) and carbon dioxide (CO2) angiography in reducing contrast associated-acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) and determine the overall incidence and risk factors of CA-AKI in high-risk patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions (PVI). Method: Only patients undergoing elective PVI from 2017 to 2021 with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5 in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database were included. Patients were grouped into IV prophylaxis vs no prophylaxis. The study's primary outcome was CA-AKI, defined as a rise in creatinine (>.5 mg/dL) or new dialysis within 48 hours following contrast administration. Standard univariate and multivariable (logistic regression) analyses were conducted. Results: A total of 4497 patients were identified. Of these, 65% received IV prophylaxis. The overall incidence of CA-AKI was .93%. No significant difference was seen in overall contrast volume (mean (SD): 66.89(49.54) vs 65.94(51.97) milliliters, P > .05) between the 2 groups. After adjusting for significant covariates, the use of IV prophylaxis (OR (95% CI): 1.54(.77-3.18), P = .25) and CO2 angiography (OR (95%CI): .95(.44-2.08), P = .90) was not associated with a significant reduction in CA-AKI compared to the patients with no prophylaxis. The severity of CKD and diabetes were the only predictor of CA-AKI. Compared to patients with no CA-AKI, patients with CA-AKI were at risk of higher 30-day mortality (OR (95% CI): 11.09 (4.25-28.93)) and cardiopulmonary complications (OR (95% CI): 19.03 (8.74-41.39) following PVI (Both P < .001). Conclusion: Using a large national vascular database, our study demonstrates that prophylactic use of IV hydration and CO2 angiography in high-risk CKD patients is not associated with a reduction in renal injury following PVI. Reduced kidney function and history of diabetes is an independent predictor of CA-AKI and patients that develop post-procedural AKI are at an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively novel minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis. Although it has been proven effective in improving mortality and quality of life, TAVR is associated with serious complications, such as acute kidney injury (AKI). SUMMARY TAVR-associated AKI is likely due to several factors such as sustained hypotension, transapical approach, volume of contrast use, and baseline low GFR. This narrative review aims to present an overview of the latest literature and evidence regarding the definition of TAVR-associated AKI, its risk factors, and its impact on morbidity and mortality. The review used a systematic search strategy with multiple health-focused databases (Medline, EMBASE) and identified 8 clinical trials and 27 observational studies concerning TAVR-associated AKI. Results showed that TAVR-associated AKI is linked to several modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors and is associated with higher mortality. A variety of diagnostic imaging modalities have the potential to identify patients at high risk for development of TAVR-AKI; however, there are no existing consensus recommendations regarding their use as of this time. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of identifying high-risk patients for which preventive measures may play a crucial role, and should be maximized. KEY MESSAGE This study reviews the current understanding of TAVR-associated AKI including its pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnostic modalities, and preventative management for patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a frequent complication associated with adverse outcomes and mortality. Various scores have been developed to predict this complication in the coronary setting. However, none have ever been tested in a large TAVI population. This study aimed to evaluate the power of four different scores in predicting AKI after TAVI. METHODS Overall, 1535 consecutive TAVI patients from the observational multicentric "Magna Graecia" TAVI registry were included in the analysis. Of the study population, 235 (15.31%) developed AKI early. The Mehran, William Beaumont Hospital, CR4EATME3AD3, and ACEF scores were calculated retrospectively. RESULTS The patients who developed TAVI-related AKI had significantly higher absolute values of all risk scores than those who did not. The receiver-operating characteristic analysis also showed a significant correlation between these four scores and AKI, but without a significant difference among all of them (p value = 0.176). Nevertheless, based on their area under the curve values (≤0.604 for all), none had adequate diagnostic accuracy in predicting TAVI-related AKI. Importantly, multivariate analysis identified myocardial revascularization close to the TAVI procedure and implantation of self-expanding prostheses, as well as atrial fibrillation, low-osmolar contrast media administration, corrected contrast medium volume, and any transfusion (p value < 0.05 for all) as independent risk factors for AKI. CONCLUSIONS Although high values of current AKI risk scores are significantly associated with the development of this complication, these are not sufficiently accurate. Further studies are needed so that a TAVI-dedicated AKI risk score may be created.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of the extent of aortic atheroma on patients' prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has not been completely evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the aortic atheroma volume (AAV) derived from computed tomography, and the effect of its differences among the segments of the aorta, in patients undergoing TAVR. METHODS In total, 143 patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent pre-procedural computed tomography before TAVR procedure indication were evaluated. AAV was calculated by measuring the aortic lumen and vessel volume using every 1-mm axial image and was further divided into thoracic (TAAV) and abdominal segments (AbAAV). RESULTS During a median follow-up of 651 days, 24 all-cause and 14 cardiac deaths occurred. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the high AAV group had significantly higher all-cause and cardiac mortalities than the low AAV group (p = 0.016 and 0.023, respectively). Regarding segmental AAV, all-cause and cardiac mortalities did not have significant differences between the high and low TAAV groups. Moreover, all-cause and cardiac mortalities were significantly higher in the high AbAAV group than in the low AbAAV group (p = 0.0043 and 0.023, respectively). The multivariable analysis showed that only AbAAV was an independent predictor for all-cause mortality (hazard ratio: 1.06, p = 0.046). CONCLUSION AAV was significantly associated with the mortality after TAVR. The current study suggests the pre-procedural assessment of AAV is valuable in predicting prognosis after TAVR. However, further investigation with a larger sample size is needed to validate our findings.

Impact of contrast medium osmolality on the risk of acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: insights from the Magna Graecia TAVI registry. Int J Cardiol 2020; 329:56-62. [PMID: 33359334 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2020.12.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2020] [Revised: 11/25/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is frequent and associated with adverse outcomes and mortality; to date, in such setting of patients there is no consistent evidence that either low-osmolar contrast media (LOCM) or iso-osmolar contrast medium (IOCM) are superior to the other in terms of renal safety. METHODS 697 consecutive patients not in hemodialysis treatment who underwent TAVI (327 males, mean age 81.01 ± 5.75 years, mean european system for cardiac operative risk evaluation II 6.17 ± 0.23%) were enrolled. According to osmolality of the different iodinated CM, the population was divided in 2 groups: IOCM (n = 370) and LOCM group (n = 327). Preoperatively, 40.54% of patients in IOCM vs 39.14% in LOCM group (p = 0.765) suffered from chronic kidney disease (CKD). RESULTS The incidence of AKI was significantly lower with IOCM (9.73%) than with LOCM (15.90%; p = 0.02), and such significant difference (p < 0.001) in postprocedural change of renal function parameters persisted at discharge too. The incidence of AKI was also significantly lower with IOCM in younger patients, without diabetes, anemia, coronary artery disease history, CKD, chronic or persistent atrial fibrillation, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, and in patients with low operative mortality risk scores, receiving lower amounts of dye (p < 0.05 for all). Importantly, multivariate analysis identified LOCM administration as an independent risk factor for both AKI (p = 0.006) and 1-year mortality (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The use of IOCM have a favorable impact on renal function with respect to LOCM, but it should be considered especially for TAVI patients at lower AKI risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with renal insufficiency have poor short-term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS Retrospective chart review identified 575 consecutive patients not on hemodialysis who underwent TAVR between September 2014 and January 2017. Outcomes were defined by VARC-2 criteria. Primary outcome of all-cause mortality was evaluated at a median follow-up of 811 days (interquartile range 125-1,151). RESULTS Preprocedural glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was ≥60 ml/min in 51.7%, 30-60 ml/min in 42.1%, and < 30 ml/min in 6.3%. Use of transfemoral access (98.8%) and achieved device success (91.0%) did not differ among groups, but less contrast was used with lower GFR (23 ml [15-33], 24 ml [14-33], 13 ml [8-20]; p < .001). Peri-procedural stroke (0.7%, 2.1%, 11.1%; p < .001) was higher with lower GFR. Core lab analysis of preprocedural computed tomography scans of patients who developed a peri-procedural stroke identified potential anatomic substrate for stroke in three out of four patients with GFR 30-60 ml/min and all three with GFR <30 ml/min (severe atheroma was the most common subtype of anatomical substrate present). Compared to GFR ≥60 ml/min, all-cause mortality was higher with GFR 30-60 ml/min (HR 1.61 [1.00-2.59]; aHR 1.61 [0.91-2.83]) and GFR <30 ml/min (HR 2.41 [1.06-5.48]; aHR 2.34 [0.90-6.09]) but not significant after multivariable adjustment. Follow-up echocardiographic data, available in 63%, demonstrated no difference in structural heart valve deterioration over time among groups. CONCLUSIONS Patients with baseline renal insufficiency remain a challenging population with poor long-term outcomes despite procedural optimization with a transfemoral-first and an extremely low-contrast approach.

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
Chronic kidney disease patients have a high prevalence of severe valvular heart disease, which reduces life expectancy. Transcatheter valve interventions has revamped the way we manage severe valvular heart disease and are an attractive alternative to invasive surgery in patients with chronic kidney disease and severe valvular heart disease. This review summarizes the impact of transcatheter valve interventions in patients with severe valvular heart disease and chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
After transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) there is consistently identified decrease in platelets accompanied by a leucocyte (white blood cell, WBC) increase. We aimed to analyze the prognostic value of early platelet and WBC count changes (thromboinflammatory response) after successful TAVI. Among 432 consecutive patients [median 83.0 years of age, 63.4% women], platelets and WBCs were measured before and for 7 days post-TAVI. Follow-up was 36.9 (21.4 to 48.0) months. Platelet decrease (∆%Platelet-max) and parallel WBC increase (∆%WBC-max) were seen at days 1 to 3. Both ∆%Platelet-max ≤-37.6% and ∆%WBC-max >72.5% predicted mortality (area under the curve = 0.569 and area under the curve = 0.626). The 30-day and 1-year mortality (13.1% and 26.2%) were highest among 28% patients with a greater decrease in platelets and a greater increase in WBCs; intermediate (0.9% and 12.3%) among 52.5% patients with either a greater decrease in platelets or a greater increase in WBCs, but not both; and lowest (0% and 6.6%) among 19.5% patients with a lesser decrease in platelets and a lesser increase in WBCs (p <0.001). Estimated 4-year mortality rates were 53.7% versus 36.2% versus 24.5%, respectively, p <0.001. Bleeding, surgical wounds, acute kidney, and brain injury predicted a more intense thromboinflammatory response, whereas use of the newer generations had the opposite effect. In conclusion, substantial thromboinflammatory response identified after successful TAVI predicts a higher long-term mortality.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a frequent occurrence in patients with heart disease, and is associated with higher risk of adverse outcomes, including mortality. In the setting of decompensated heart failure, acute kidney injury can occur from hemodynamic and neurohormonal activation, venous congestion, and nephrotoxic medications. Certain medications, such as loop diuretics, renin angiotensin system blockers, and mineralocorticoid antagonists can seemingly cause acute kidney injury. However, this increase in creatinine level is not always associated with adverse outcomes and should be carefully differentiated so as to allow deliberate continuation of these cardio- and nephroprotective agents. In other settings such as cardiac surgery, acute kidney injury can occur from factors related to the cardiopulmonary bypass, renal hypoperfusion, or other perioperative factors. Last, patients with heart disease commonly undergo imaging procedures that require contrast administration. Contrast can indeed cause acute kidney injury, but these interventional procedures also can result in kidney injury from atheroembolic phenomena. This is well documented by the recent data reporting a higher risk of acute kidney injury from femoral compared with radial access. The advent of biomarkers of kidney injury present an opportunity for early detection, accurate differential diagnosis, as well as potentially designing innovative biomarker-enriched adaptive clinical trials.
