Key Points Question Is transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) associated with changes in kidney function or midterm mortality? Findings In a cohort study of 894 patients who underwent TAVR, kidney function improved or remained stable in 80.6% (improved in 36.8%) of patients 1 month after TAVR. Steady state kidney function had a stronger association with mortality than did baseline kidney function. Meaning Results suggest that overall, TAVR is safe in terms of kidney outcomes and has the potential to improve kidney function and provide an additive benefit to its cardiac benefits.
