  • Title: Self-expandable CoreValve implantation without contrast media.
    Author: Bruschi G, Colombo P, De Marco F, Barosi A, Mauri S, Klugmann S.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2016 Sep; 24(7):696-8. PubMed ID: 26068936.
    Abstract:
    Transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been designed to treat high-risk surgical patients affected by severe aortic stenosis, many of whom are affected by chronic kidney disease. To perform transcatheter self-expandable valve implantation, multiple contrast injections are required to monitor the procedure, so these patients are at increased risk of acute kidney injury. We described self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation without contrast media in an 80-year-old man affected by severe aortic stenosis and endstage chronic kidney disease.
