Acute Kidney Injury Following Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Background
Aim of this study was to perform a systematic review a meta-analysis of the literature in order to identify predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and assess its effect on in-hospital outcomes and mortality. Although iodinated contrast is not typically used in TEER, these patients are still at risk for developing AKI.
