Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis Combined with Chronic Kidney Disease:A Study in Progress
Severe aortic stenosis(AS)and chronic kidney disease(CKD)are closely related and often coexist.Severe CKD may accelerate the development of AS,while severe AS may lead to the deterioration of kidney function.Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is the first-line treatment for the relief of severe AS symptoms,but its impact on patients with CKD(especially end-stage renal disease)is still uncertain,which brings many challenges to the selection of clinical treatment strategies.This article reviews the research progress of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with severe AS and CKD.
