Abstract

Introduction: Data on outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains limited. Hypothesis: AKI is associated with worse outcomes in patients undergoing TMVR Methods: We utilized the United States National Inpatient Sample database from the year 2015 to 2018 to evaluate outcomes of TMVR in AKI. Results: A total of 21,505 weighted hospitalizations were included in the analysis. Of the patients who underwent TMVR 3350 (15.6%) developed acute kidney injury. The mean age of patients undergoing TMVR was higher for patients with AKI compared to patients who did not develop AKI was 77 and 76 years respectively. A logistic regression model adjusted for age, gender and baseline comorbidities was developed for predictors of AKI. On adjusted comparison liver disease (OR 2.4 95% CI, 2-2.9), peripheral vascular disease (1.35, 95% CI 1.2-1.53), congestive heart failure (2.76 95% CI, 2.34-3.26) and history of weight loss (1.92 95% CI 1.64-2.25) were significant predictors of AKI. In-hospital mortality was higher for patients with AKI versus no AKI (10.1% vs. 0.7%, p<0.01). Length of stay (13 vs 3 days) and cost of stay ($80787 vs. $ 44086) was significantly higher for patients with AKI versus those who did not develop AKI. Conclusions: AKI is associated with increased in hospital mortality and increased health care resource utilization in patients undergoing TMVR.
