The Lasso regression was used to preliminarily screen potential risk factors, which were entered into the multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify preoperative independent risk factors for postoperative AKI. Results220 patients (36.2%) developed AKI after surgery. and 63.4%, respectively.

Dr. Shettys team followed 252 patients who underwent the Ross procedure, a heart valve replacement operation commonly used to treat younger patients with severe aortic valve disease. Risk factors for late autograft dysfunction include a dilated aortic annulus and ascending aorta. at 10 years, 79.7% at 20 years.

However, with the compelling evidence on the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), it has become the gold standard treatment option for many patients with symptomatic severe AS. Transfemoral access has been the preferred method for transcatheter heart valve delivery.

Background:Mechanical heart valve replacement (MHVR) is an effective method for the treatment of severe heart valve disease. However, it subjects patients to lifelong warfarin therapy after MHVR, with the attendant risk of bleeding and thrombosis.

Strokes and heart disease are linked together in various ways. In general, risk factors for stroke and some forms of heart disease are similar. Strokes due to blocks in blood vessels, can be seen along with blocks in blood vessels of the heart. Stroke can occur after a heart attack as well.
