The Negative Effect of Mean Perfusion Pressure on the Development of Acute Kidney Injury after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of mean perfusion pressure (mPP) in the
development of acute kidney injury (AKIN) after transcatheter aortic valve
implantation (TAVI).Methods: One hundred and forty seven consecutive patients with aortic stenosis (AS)
were evaluated for this study and 133 of them were included. Mean arterial
pressure (mAP) and central venous pressure (CVP) were used to calculate mPP
before TAVI procedure (mPP = mAP-CVP). The occurrence of AKIN was evaluated
with AKIN classification according to the Valve Academic Research
Consortium-2 recommendations. The patients were divided into two groups
