ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Endovascular therapy is an alternative for the treatment of AIS resulting from large intracranial arterial occlusions that depends on the use of iodinated RCM. The risk of RCM-mediated AKI following endovascular therapy for AIS may be different from that following coronary interventions because patients may not have identical risk factors. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
All consecutive patients with large-vessel AIS undergoing endovascular therapy were prospectively recorded. We recorded the baseline kidney function, and RCM-AKI was assessed according to the AKIN criteria at 48 hours after RCM administration. We compared the rate of RCM-AKI 48 hours after the procedure and sought to determine whether any preexisting factors increased the risk of RCM-AKI.RESULTS:
We identified 99 patients meeting inclusion criteria. The average volume of contrast was 189 ± 71 mL, and the average creatinine change was -4.6% at 48 hours postangiography. There were 3 patients with RCM-AKI. Although all 3 patients died as a result of their strokes, return to baseline creatinine levels occurred before death. There was a trend toward higher rates of premorbid diabetes mellitus, chronic renal insufficiency, preadmission statin and NSAID use, and a higher serum creatinine level on admission for the RCM-AKI group. The volume of procedural contrast was similar between groups (those with and those without RCM-AKI) (P = .5).CONCLUSIONS:
In this small study, the rate of RCM-AKI following endovascular intervention for AIS was very low. A much larger study is required to determine its true incidence.
