Description
Edward Itelman and co-authors check whether CT scan dye harms kidneys in patients awaiting a valve procedure, in a 2025 study. Planning a transcatheter aortic valve implant needs a detailed contrast scan. Doctors worry the dye may injure kidneys, above all in patients with chronic kidney disease. That fear can delay needed imaging.
The study measured kidney injury after scans using standard global criteria. All scans used a modern, gentler class of contrast agent. Injury rates were tracked in the days after imaging. Results show how often harm truly follows the scan. Heart teams can then weigh the small risk against clear planning gains. Patients with weak kidneys are the group most affected by the answer.
