About
the hypothesis is that elevation of the intrarenal resistive index (RI) characterizes patients at elevated risk for subsequent CA-AKI and integrates items of the Mehran AKI risk score into a single, readily obtainable parameter. Impella-mediated nephroprotection confers to reduction of elevated RI by restoration of intrarenal venous flow profile.
Full description
Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) occurs in up to 10% of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary revascularization. CA-AKI is associated with impaired long-term outcome. This causes so-called "Renalism", describing the fact that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in need of live-saving revascularizations are not offered PCI procedures in the risk of imminent CA-AKI.
Retrospective studies and one-single-center pilot study described protective effects of Impella-protected PCI to reduce the incidence of CA-AKI. However, mechanisms involved of nephroprotection by Impella remain obscure. Deciphering these, is a prerequisite to tailor nephroprotection to the patients in need and to gain a label for nephroprotection by Impella.
