Background/Aim
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a method that has been applied in severe aortic stenosis (AS) treatment increasingly. Development of Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) after TAVI increases the morbidity and mortality rates. Within the scope of this study, the importance of the rate of contrast medium volume to glomerular filtration rate (CV/GFR) on determining development of CIN and Contrast Medium Volume that could be applied was evaluated.
Methods
72 patients (age; 78.6±11.6, women=38) whom aortic valve replacement was applied with TAVI method within the period between June 2013 and August 2014 were included in the study. CIN was defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine >0.5 mg/dL or a relative increase >25% within 48-72 hours after TAVI. CIN(+) patients and CIN (-) patients were classified into first and second groups respectively. Chi-squared test, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, ROC analysis, univariate and multivariate regression analyzes were applied as statistical analyzes.
