Interventionelle Eingriffe bei strukturellen Herzerkrankungen
摘要
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher prevalence of structural heart diseases. Surgical treatment may be impossible due to comorbidities particularly in this collective. Procedures of interventional cardiology offer a treatment option.
ObjectiveFeasibility and indications for interventional treatment of structural heart diseases in patients with CKD. Presentation of treatment recommendations and approach for individual evaluation of indications.
Material and methodsAnalysis of current guidelines and fundamental clinical trials.
ResultsInterventional procedures are suitable not only for high-risk patients but also for patients with CKD. The risks of interventional procedures with respect to a deterioration of renal function are lower in comparison to comparable surgical procedures. Due to the special circumstances and comorbidities a precise analysis of the individual feasibility of the procedures is required.
ConclusionInterventional procedures for structural heart diseases are a suitable treatment option for patients with CKD. A multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and nephrologists is crucial to ensure the best possible treatment tailored to the individual patient.
