Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation In Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

There is a paucity of data regarding the outcomes of trans-septal transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TS-TMVI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We queried the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2015 to 2018) for patients undergoing TS-TMVI. We identified patients with CKD (Stage III or higher). We conducted propensity score matching analysis to compare the outcomes in patients with CKD versus patients without CKD. The main outcomes were in-hospital mortality and 30-day nonelective readmissions. From 2015 to 2018, there were 2,017 admissions for patients receiving TS-TMVI, of whom 733 (36.34%) had CKD. In the CKD group, 76 (10.4%) required chronic dialysis. During the study years, the number of TS-TMVI procedures increased in patients with CKD (p
