Abstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) portends a poor prognosis. In the TVT registry, AKI after TAVR occurred in 10% of the patients. The etiology of AKI after TAVR is multifactorial but contrast volume remains one of the few modifiable risk factors. As patients referred for TAVR have multiple touch points within a siloed healthcare system, there remains an unmet clinical need of a well-defined clinical pathway to minimize the risk of AKI from the time of referral for TAVR to the completion of the procedure. This white paper aims to provide such a clinical pathway.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Cardiological Society of India.
