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:

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.
