OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the RenalGuard System (PLC Medical Systems,Milford, Massachusetts) on prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valvereplacement (TAVR).BACKGROUNDTAVR is associated with varying degrees of post-procedural AKI. The RenalGuard System is a dedicateddevice designed for contrast-induced AKI prevention.

A total of 112 consecutive patients undergoing TAVR were randomlyassigned to hydration with normal saline solution controlled by the RenalGuard system and furosemide (RenalGuardgroup) or normal saline solution (control group).

The majority of patients (5.4% vs. 23.2%) developed a mild AKI (stage 1); severe damage (stage 3)occurred only in 1 patient in the control group (0.0% vs. 1.8%).
