BackgroundLow ejection fraction (EF) and low flow as determined by an echocardiographic stroke volume index (SVi) <35 mL/m2 are associated with low transvalvular gradients and increased mortality in both severe aortic stenosis (AS) and post–transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Absence of an elevated echocardiographic transaortic gradient post-TAVR is considered a marker of procedural success despite the absence of data on its impact on mortality.ObjectivesThe authors sought to examine the association of invasive and echocardiographic gradients post-TAVR with all-cause mortality in relation to flow and EF.MethodsIn a multicenter retrospective registry of patients undergoing TAVR, Cox models with regression splines explored the relationship between invasive and echocardiographic gradients post-TAVR with 2-year mortality. An invasive gradient <5 mm Hg was considered low, between ≥5 and <10 mm Hg was considered intermediate, and ≥10 mm Hg was considered high. An echocardiographic gradient <10 mm Hg was considered low, ≥10 and <20 mm Hg was considered intermediate, and ≥20 mm Hg was considered high.ResultsHigher mortality occurred in low echocardiographic gradients at discharge relative to intermediate gradients (P < 0.001), and low gradient was associated with lower EF and echocardiographic SVi (P < 0.001 and P < 0.008, respectively). Lower mortality occurred in low invasive gradients relative to intermediate gradients (P = 0.012) with no difference in EF and echocardiographic SVi between groups (P = 0.089 and P = 0.947, respectively). There were insufficient observations to determine the impact of high echocardiographic and invasive gradients on mortality.ConclusionsIn this large retrospective analysis, the impact of transaortic gradients on mortality after TAVR was not linear and complex, showing opposite results among echocardiographic and invasive measurements in low-gradient patients. 相似文献

BackgroundAs transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) replacement is increasingly used in patients with longer life expectancy, a sizable proportion will require redo TAV replacement (TAVR). The unique configuration of balloon-expandable TAV (bTAV) vs a self-expanding TAV (sTAV) potentially affects TAV-in-TAV outcome.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to better inform prosthesis selection, TAV-in-TAV outcomes were assessed according to the type of initial and subsequent TAV.MethodsPatients from the Redo-TAVR registry were analyzed using propensity weighting according to their initial valve type (bTAV [n = 115] vs sTAV [n = 106]) and subsequent valve type (bTAV [n = 130] vs sTAV [n = 91]).ResultsPatients with failed bTAVs presented later (vs sTAV) (4.9 ± 2.1 years vs 3.7 ± 2.3 years; P < 0.001), with smaller effective orifice area (1.0 ± 0.7 cm2 vs 1.3 ± 0.8 cm2; P = 0.018) and less frequent dominant regurgitation (16.2% vs 47.3%; P < 0.001). Mortality at 30 days was 2.3% (TAV-in-bTAV) vs 0% (TAV-in-sTAV) (P = 0.499) and 1.7% (bTAV-in-TAV) vs 1.0% (sTAV-in-TAV) (P = 0.612); procedural safety was 72.6% (TAV-in-bTAV) vs 71.2% (TAV-in-sTAV) (P = 0.817) and 73.2% (bTAV-in-TAV) vs 76.5% (sTAV-in-TAV) (P = 0.590). Device success was similar according to initial valve type but higher with subsequent sTAV vs bTAV (77.2% vs 64.3%; P = 0.045), primarily because of lower residual gradients (10.3 mm Hg [8.9-11.7 mm Hg] vs 15.2 mm Hg [13.2-17.1 mm Hg]; P < 0.001). Residual regurgitation (moderate or greater) was similar after bTAV-in-TAV and sTAV-in-TAV (5.7%) and nominally higher after TAV-in-bTAV (9.1%) vs TAV-in-sTAV (4.4%) (P = 0.176).ConclusionsIn selected patients, no association was observed between TAV type and redo TAVR safety or mortality, yet subsequent sTAV was associated with higher device success because of lower redo gradients. These findings are preliminary, and more data are needed to guide valve choice for redo TAVR. 相似文献

BackgroundAlthough estimation of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) using an integrated echocardiographic algorithm is recommended, the usefulness of this algorithm has not been fully validated.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of an algorithmic classification system using invasively measured left atrial pressure (LAP) in a large-scale cohort.MethodsThe authors enrolled 1,967 patients (age 68 ± 10 years) whose LAP was directly measured within the left atrium during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. Patients were classified into 3 groups based on the echocardiographic algorithm: normal (group N, n = 1,282), undetermined (group U, n = 160), and elevated (group E, n = 346) LAP groups. Invasively measured LAP and echocardiographic parameters estimating LVFP were compared among the groups.ResultsThe median LAP was 12.6 ± 5.7 mm Hg in the entire cohort. LAP was significantly higher in group E than that in the other groups (groups E vs U vs N, 14.2 ± 6.3 mm Hg vs 13.5 ± 5.9 mm Hg vs 12.0 ± 5.5 mm Hg; P < 0.001). Among group E patients, 43.1% had elevated LAP (≥15 mm Hg), whereas 56.9% had normal LAP (<15 mm Hg). Of the patients in group N, 69.0% had normal LAP, whereas 31% had elevated LAP. Although the correlation between invasively measured LAP and E/e′, peak tricuspid regurgitant velocity, and left atrial volume index was modest, the number of abnormal values correlated significantly with elevated LAP (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe classification using combined echocardiographic parameters in the recommendations may be useful for detecting patients with normal LVFP but may be limited for detecting elevated LVFP. 相似文献

BackgroundChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by obstruction of major pulmonary arteries with organized thrombi. Clinical risk factors for pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease including metabolic syndrome, left-sided valvular heart disease, and ischemic heart disease are common in CTEPH patients.ObjectivesThe authors sought to investigate prevalence and prognostic implications of elevated left ventricular filling pressures (LVFP) in CTEPH.MethodsA total of 593 consecutive CTEPH patients undergoing a first diagnostic right and left heart catheterization were included in this study. Mean pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (mPAWP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were utilized for assessment of LVFP. Two cutoffs were applied to identify patients with elevated LVFP: 1) for the primary analysis mPAWP and/or LVEDP >15 mm Hg, as recommended by the current pulmonary hypertension guidelines; and 2) for the secondary analysis mPAWP and/or LVEDP >11 mm Hg, representing the upper limit of normal. Clinical and echocardiographic features, and long-term mortality were assessed.ResultsLVFP was >15 mm Hg in 63 (10.6%) and >11 mm Hg in 222 patients (37.4%). Univariable logistic regression analysis identified age, systemic hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, calcific aortic valve stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and left atrial volume as significant predictors of elevated LVFP. Atrial fibrillation, calcific aortic valve stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and left atrial volume remained independent determinants of LVFP in adjusted analysis. At follow-up, higher LVFPs were measured in patients who had meanwhile undergone pulmonary endarterectomy (P = 0.002). LVFP >15 mm Hg (P = 0.021) and >11 mm Hg (P = 0.006) were both associated with worse long-term survival.ConclusionsElevated LVFP is common, appears to be due to comorbid left heart disease, and predicts prognosis in CTEPH. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe authors hypothesized that quantitative computed tomography (QCT) imaging would reveal subclinical increases in lung congestion in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and that this would be related to pulmonary vascular hemodynamic abnormalities.BackgroundGross evidence of lung congestion on physical examination, laboratory tests, and radiography is typically absent among compensated ambulatory patients with HFpEF. However, pulmonary gas transfer abnormalities are commonly observed and associated with poor outcomes.MethodsPatients referred for invasive hemodynamic exercise testing who had undergone chest computed tomography imaging within 1 month were identified (N = 137). A novel artificial intelligence QCT algorithm was used to measure pulmonary fluid content.ResultsCompared with control subjects with noncardiac dyspnea, patients with HFpEF displayed increased mean lung density (–758 HU [–793, –709 HU] vs –787 HU [–828, –747 HU]; P = 0.002) and a higher ratio of extravascular lung water to total lung volume (EVLWV/TLV) (1.25 [0.80, 1.76] vs 0.66 [0.01, 1.03]; P < 0.0001) by QCT imaging, indicating greater lung congestion. EVLWV/TLV was directly correlated with pulmonary vascular pressures at rest, with stronger correlations observed during exercise. Patients with increasing tertiles of EVLWV/TLV demonstrated higher mean pulmonary artery pressures at rest (34 ± 11 mm Hg vs 39 ± 14 mm Hg vs 45 ± 17 mm Hg; P = 0.0003) and during exercise (55 ± 17 mm Hg vs 59 ± 17 mm Hg vs 69 ± 22 mm Hg; P = 0.0003).ConclusionsQCT imaging identifies subclinical lung congestion in HFpEF that is not clinically apparent but is related to abnormalities in pulmonary vascular hemodynamics. These data provide new insight into the long-term effects of altered hemodynamics on pulmonary structure and function in HFpEF. 相似文献

BackgroundNational guidelines recommend that systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and hypertension be maintained below 130 mm Hg.ObjectivesThis study sought to determine associations of SBP <130 mm Hg with outcomes in patients with HFrEF.MethodsOf the 25,345 patients in the Medicare-linked OPTIMIZE-HF registry, 10,535 had an ejection fraction (EF) ≤40%. Of these, 5,615 had stable SBP (≤20 mm Hg admission to discharge variation), and 3,805 (68%) had a discharge SBP <130 mm Hg. Propensity scores for SBP <130 mm Hg, estimated for each of the 5,615 patients, were used to assemble a matched cohort of 1,189 pairs of patients with SBP <130 versus ≥130 mm Hg, balanced on 58 baseline characteristics (mean age 76 years; mean EF 28%, 45% women, 13% African American). This process was repeated in 3,946 patients, after excluding 1,669 patients (30% of 5,615) with a discharge SBP <110 mm Hg and assembled a second matched balanced cohort of 1,099 pairs of patients with SBP 110 to 129 mm Hg versus ≥130 mm Hg.ResultsThirty-day all-cause mortality occurred in 7% and 4% of matched patients with SBP <130 mm Hg versus ≥130 mm Hg, respectively (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.76; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.24 to 2.48; p = 0.001). HRs (95% CIs) for all-cause mortality, all-cause readmission, and HF readmission at 1 year, associated with SBP <130 mm Hg, were 1.32 (1.15 to 1.53; p < 0.001), 1.11 (1.01 to 1.23; p = 0.030), and 1.24 (1.09 to 1.42; p = 0.001), respectively. HRs (95% CIs) for 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality associated with SBP 110 to 129 mm Hg (vs. ≥130 mm Hg) were 1.50 (1.03 to 2.19; p = 0.035), and 1.19 (1.02 to 1.39; p = 0.029), respectively.ConclusionsAmong hospitalized older patients with HFrEF, SBP <130 mm Hg is associated with poor outcomes. This association persisted when the analyses were repeated after excluding patients with SBP <110 mm Hg. There is an urgent need for randomized controlled trials to evaluate optimal SBP reduction goals in patients with HFrEF. 相似文献

BackgroundSelf-expanding transcatheter heart valves (THVs) are associated with better echocardiographic hemodynamic performance than balloon-expandable THVs and are considered preferable in patients with small annuli.ObjectivesThis study sought to compare 5-year outcomes between self-expanding vs balloon-expandable THVs in severe aortic stenosis (AS) patients with small annuli.MethodsConsecutive severe AS patients with an aortic valve annulus area <430 mm2 who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with either the CoreValve Evolut (Medtronic) or SAPIEN (Edwards Lifesciences) THV between 2012 and 2021 were enrolled from the Bern TAVI registry. A 1:1 propensity-matched analysis was performed to account for baseline differences between groups.ResultsA total of 723 patients were included, and propensity score matching resulted in 171 pairs. Technical success was achieved in over 85% of both groups with no significant difference. Self-expanding THVs were associated with a lower transvalvular gradient (8.0 ± 4.8 mm Hg vs 12.5 ± 4.5 mm Hg; P < 0.001), a larger effective orifice area (1.81 ± 0.46 cm2 vs 1.49 ± 0.42 cm2; P < 0.001), and a lower incidence of prosthesis-patient mismatch (19.7% vs 51.8%; P < 0.001) than balloon-expandable THVs. At 5 years, there were no significant differences in mortality (50.4% vs 39.6%; P = 0.269) between groups. Disabling stroke occurred more frequently in patients with a self-expanding THV than those with a balloon-expandable THV (6.6% vs 0.6%; P = 0.030). Similar results were obtained using inverse probability of treatment weighting in the Bern TAVI registry and the nationwide Swiss TAVI registry.ConclusionsThe echocardiographic hemodynamic advantage of self-expanding THVs was not associated with better clinical outcomes compared with balloon-expandable THVs up to 5 years in patients with small annuli.

ObjectivesThe aims of this study were to: 1) develop a formula for projected transmitral gradient (TMG), expected gradient under normal heart rate (HR), and stroke volume (SV); and 2) assess the prognostic value of projected TMG.BackgroundIn mitral stenosis (MS), TMG is highly dependent on hemodynamics, often leading to discordance between TMG and mitral valve area.MethodsAll patients with suspected MS based on echocardiography from 2001 to 2017 were analyzed. Data were randomly split (2:1); projected TMG was modeled in the derivation cohort, then tested in the validation cohort. The composite endpoint was death or mitral valve intervention.ResultsOf 4,973 patients with suspected MS, severe and moderate MS, defined as mitral valve area ≤1.5 and >1.5 to 2.0 cm2, were present in 437 (9%) and 936 (19%), respectively. In the derivation cohort (n = 3,315; age 73 ± 12 years; 34% male), corresponding gradients were TMG ≥6 and 4 to <6 mm Hg, respectively, under normal hemodynamics. Based on the impact of hemodynamics on TMG, the formula was projected TMG = TMG ? 0.07 (HR ? 70) ? 0.03 (SV ? 97) in men and projected TMG = TMG ? 0.08 (HR ? 72) ? 0.04 (SV ? 84) in women. In the validation cohort (n = 1,658), projected TMG had better agreement with MS severity than TMG (kappa 0.61 vs. 0.28). Among 281 patients with TMG ≥6 mm Hg, projected TMG ≥6 mm Hg, present in 171 patients (61%), was associated with higher probability of the endpoint versus projected TMG <6 mm Hg (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.2 to 2.6; p < 0.01).ConclusionsThe novel concept of projected TMG, constructed using the observed impact of HR and SV on TMG, significantly improved the concordance of gradient and valve area in MS and provided better risk stratification than TMG. 相似文献

ObjectivesThis study sought to evaluate the prognostic value of an increased mean mitral valve pressure gradient (MVG) in patients with primary mitral regurgitation (MR) after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER).BackgroundConflicting data exist regarding impact of increased mean MVG on outcomes after TEER.MethodsThis study included 419 patients with primary MR (mean age 80.6 ± 10.4 years; 40.6% female) who underwent TEER. Patients were divided into quartiles (Qs) based on discharge echocardiographic mean MVG. Primary outcome was the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization. Secondary outcomes included all-cause mortality and the secondary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, and mitral valve reintervention.ResultsThe median number of MitraClips used was 2 per patient. MR reduction ≤moderate was achieved in 407 (97.1%) patients. Mean MVG was 1.9 ± 0.3 mm Hg, 3.0 ± 0.1 mm Hg, 4.0 ± 0.1 mm Hg, and 6.0 ± 1.2 mm Hg in Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively. There was no significant differences across quartiles in the primary outcome (15.4%, 19.6%, 22.0%, and 21.9% in Q1-Q4, respectively; P = 0.63), all-cause mortality (15.9% vs 18.6% vs 19.4% vs 17.1%, respectively; P = 0.91), and the secondary composite endpoint at 2 years (33.3% vs 29.5% vs 22.0% vs 31.6%, respectively; P = 0.37). After multivariate adjustment for baseline clinical and procedural variables, the mean MVG in Q4 compared with Q1 to Q3 was not independently associated with the primary outcome (HR: 1.22; 95% CI: 0.82-1.83; P = 0.33), all-cause mortality, and the secondary composite endpoint.ConclusionsIncreased mean MVG was not independently associated with adverse events after TEER in patients with primary MR. 相似文献

BackgroundIt is unknown whether the sex difference whereby female transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) candidates had a lower risk profile, a higher incidence of in-hospital complications, but more favorable short- and long-term survival observed in tricuspid cohorts undergoing TAVR would persist in patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs).ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to reexamine the impact of sex on outcomes following TAVR in patients with BAVs.MethodsIn this single-center study, patients with BAVs undergoing TAVR for severe aortic stenosis from 2012 to 2021 were retrospectively included. Baseline characteristics, aortic root anatomy, and in-hospital and 1-year valve hemodynamic status and survival were compared between sexes.ResultsA total of 510 patients with BAVs were included. At baseline, women presented with fewer comorbidities. Men had a greater proportion of Sievers type 1 BAV, higher calcium volumes (549.2 ± 408.4 mm3 vs 920.8 ± 654.3 mm3; P < 0.001), and larger aortic root structures. Women experienced more vascular complications (12.9% vs 4.9%; P = 0.002) and bleeding (11.1% vs 5.3%; P = 0.019) and higher residual gradients (16.9 ± 7.7 mm Hg vs 13.2 ± 6.4 mm Hg; P < 0.001), while men were more likely to undergo second valve implantations during index TAVR (6.3% vs 15.9%; P = 0.001). Death at 1 year was not significantly different between sexes (HR: 1.15; 95% CI: 0.56-2.35; P = 0.70). Bleeding (adjusted HR: 4.62; 95% CI: 1.51-14.12; P = 0.007) was the single independent predictor of 1-year death for women.ConclusionsIn patients with BAVs undergoing TAVR, women presented with fewer comorbidities, while men had a greater proportion of type 1 BAV, more calcification, and larger aortic roots. In-hospital outcomes favored men, with fewer complications except for the need for second valve implantation, but 1-year survival was comparable between sexes. 相似文献

BackgroundGlobal longitudinal strain (GLS) can predict cancer therapeutics–related cardiac dysfunction and guide initiation of cardioprotection (CPT).ObjectivesIn this study, the authors sought to determine whether echocardiography GLS-guided CPT provides less cardiac dysfunction in survivors of potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy, compared with usual care at 3 years.MethodsIn this international multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial, patients were enrolled from 28 international sites. All patients treated with anthracyclines with another risk factor for heart failure were randomly allocated to GLS-guided (>12% relative reduction in GLS) or ejection fraction (EF)–guided (>10% absolute reduction of EF to <55%) CPT. The primary end point was the change in 3-dimensional (3D) EF (ΔEF) from baseline to 3 years.ResultsAmong 331 patients enrolled, 255 (77%, age 54 ± 12 years, 95% women) completed 3-year follow-up (123 in the EF-guided group and 132 in the GLS-guided group). Most had breast cancer (n = 236; 93%), and anthracycline followed by trastuzumab was the most common chemotherapy regimen (84%). Although 67 (26%) had hypertension and 32 (13%) had diabetes mellitus, left ventricular function was normal at baseline (EF: 59% ± 6%, GLS: 20.7% ± 2.3%). CPT was administered in 18 patients (14.6%) in the EF-guided group and 41 (31%) in the GLS-guided group (P = 0.03). Most patients showed recovery in EF and GLS after chemotherapy; 3-year ΔEF was −0.03% ± 7.9% in the EF-guided group and −0.02% ± 6.5% in the GLS-guided (P = 0.99) group; respective 3-year EFs were 58% ± 6% and 59% ± 5% (P = 0.06). At 3 years, 17 patients (5%) had cancer therapeutics–related cardiac dysfunction (11 in the EF-guided group and 6 in the GLS guided group; P = 0.16); 1 patient in each group was admitted for heart failure.ConclusionsAmong patients taking potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy for cancer, the 3-year data showed improvement of LV dysfunction compared with 1 year, with no difference in ΔEF between GLS- and EF-guided CPT.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare 1-year outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in low surgical risk patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis to patients with tricuspid aortic stenosis.BackgroundThe pivotal TAVR trials excluded patients with bicuspid aortic valves. The Low Risk Bicuspid Study 30-day primary endpoint of death or disabling stroke was 1.3%.MethodsThe Low Risk Bicuspid Study is a prospective, single-arm, TAVR trial that enrolled patients from 25 U.S. sites. A screening committee confirmed bicuspid anatomy and valve classification on computed tomography using the Sievers classification. Valve sizing was by annular measurements. An independent clinical events committee adjudicated all serious adverse events, and an independent core laboratory assessed all echocardiograms. The 150 patients from the Low Risk Bicuspid Study were propensity matched to the TAVR patients in the randomized Evolut Low Risk Trial using the 1:1 5- to-1-digit greedy method, resulting in 145 pairs.ResultsAll-cause mortality or disabling stroke at 1 year was 1.4% in the bicuspid and 2.8% in the tricuspid group (P = 0.413). A pacemaker was implanted in 16.6% of bicuspid and 17.9% of tricuspid patients (P = 0.741). The effective orifice area was similar between groups at 1 year (2.2 ± 0.7 cm2 vs 2.3 ± 0.6 cm2, P = 0.677) as was the mean gradient (8.7 ± 3.9 mm Hg vs 8.5 ± 3.1 mm Hg, P = 0.754). Fewer patients in the bicuspid group had mild or worse paravalvular leak (21.3% vs 42.6%, P < 0.001).ConclusionsThere were no significant differences in clinical or forward flow hemodynamic outcomes between the propensity-matched groups at 1 year. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, characteristics, hemodynamic conditions, and clinical significance of right-to-left (R-L) shunt through an iatrogenic atrial septal defect (iASD) after the MitraClip procedure.BackgroundR-L shunt through an iASD after the MitraClip procedure has not been well investigated.MethodsFrom 2014 to 2017, 385 consecutive patients with mitral regurgitation underwent the MitraClip procedure. iASD was assessed using intraprocedural transesophageal echocardiography. Right and left heart catheterization was used to assess the hemodynamic status of patients. All patients provided written informed consent for the procedure. All data for this study were collected from an established interventional cardiology laboratory database approved by the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Institutional Review Board.ResultsR-L shunt was observed in 20 patients (5%). In 7 of these patients (35%), R-L shunt was accompanied by acute deoxygenation. Prevalence of severe tricuspid regurgitation (55% vs. 20%; p = 0.001), serum B-type natriuretic peptide (664 pg/ml [434 to 1,169 pg/ml] vs. 400 pg/ml [195 to 699 pg/ml]; p = 0.006), mean pulmonary artery pressure (38 mm Hg [34 to 45 mm Hg] vs. 29 mm Hg [22 to 37 mm Hg]; p < 0.001), and right atrial pressure (19 mm Hg [13 to 20 mm Hg] vs. 10 mm Hg [7 to 14 mm Hg]; p < 0.001) were significantly higher in patients with R-L shunt than in those with left-to-right shunt. Patients with R-L shunt also showed a more prominent reduction in the left atrial V-wave and mean pressure from baseline to post-procedure compared with those with left-to-right shunt (−22.8 ± 2.6 mm Hg vs. −11.8 ± 0.9 mm Hg [p = 0.002] and −7.9 ± 0.8 mm Hg vs. −4.0 ± 0.4 mm Hg [p = 0.003], respectively).ConclusionsR-L shunt through an iASD was observed in 5% of patients who underwent the MitraClip procedure and in one-third of patients with R-L shunt presented acute deoxygenation. Elevated right atrial pressure concomitant with pulmonary hypertension and significant reduction in left atrial pressure after MitraClip deployment were associated with R-L shunt. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) in the TVT (Transcatheter Valve Therapy) Registry in patients undergoing supra-annular transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for de novo stenosis or failed surgical bioprostheses (transcatheter aortic valve [TAV]–in–surgical aortic valve [SAV]).BackgroundSevere PPM has been associated with adverse outcomes following TAVR, yet the clinical outcome of severe PPM after supra-annular TAVR is largely unknown.MethodsSupra-annular TAVR was performed in patients enrolled in the TVT Registry with de novo stenosis (n = 42,174) or TAV-in-SAV (n = 5,446). Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 criteria were used to define severe PPM. The clinical impact of severe PPM on 1-year mortality and valve-related readmission was assessed using multivariate regression. A generalized linear mixed model was used to evaluate predictors of severe PPM.ResultsSevere PPM was found in 5.3% of patients undergoing de novo TAVR and 27.0% of patients undergoing TAV-in-SAV. The presence of severe PPM was not significantly associated with 1-year mortality or valve-related readmissions in both groups. Mean aortic gradients were higher in patients with severe PPM than in those without severe PPM at 1 month (9.7 ± 5.7 mm Hg vs. 7.3 ± 4.0 mm Hg; p < 0.001) and 1 year (10.2 ± 6.4 mm Hg vs. 8.0 ± 4.3 mm Hg; p < 0.001). Pre-procedural factors, including a <20-mm aortic annulus, were positive predictors of severe PPM in patients undergoing de novo TAVR (area under the curve = 0.795) and TAV-in-SAV (area under the curve = 0.764).ConclusionsSevere PPM after supra-annular TAVR was not associated with increased 1-year mortality or valve-related readmissions. Longer-term follow-up is needed to determine if higher residual gradients in patients with severe PPM predict long-term outcomes.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the outcomes of transcatheter self-expandable prostheses in patients with small annuli.BackgroundTranscatheter aortic heart valves appear to have better performance than surgical valves in terms of prosthesis-patient mismatch, especially in patients with aortic stenosis with small aortic annuli.MethodsTAVI-SMALL (International Multicenter Registry to Evaluate the Performance of Self-Expandable Valves in Small Aortic Annuli) is a retrospective registry of patients with severe aortic stenosis and small annuli (annular perimeter <72 mm or area <400 mm2 on computed tomography) treated with transcatheter self-expandable valves (n = 859; Evolut R, n = 397; Evolut PRO, n = 84; ACURATE, n = 201; Portico, n = 177). Primary endpoints were post-procedural mean aortic gradient, indexed effective orifice area, and rate of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch.ResultsPre-discharge gradients were consistently low in every group, with a slight benefit with the Evolut R (8.1 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.7 to 8.5 mm Hg) and Evolut PRO (6.9 mm Hg; 95% CI: 6.3 to 7.6 mm Hg) compared with the ACURATE (9.6 mm Hg; 95% CI: 8.9 to 10.2 mm Hg) and Portico (8.9 mm Hg; 95% CI: 8.2 to 9.6 mm Hg) groups (p < 0.001). Mean indexed effective orifice area was 1.04 cm2/m2 (95% CI: 1.01 to 1.08 cm2/m2) with a trend toward lower values with the Portico. No significant differences were reported in terms of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch (overall rate 9.4%; p = 0.134), permanent pacemaker implantation (15.6%), and periprocedural and 1-year adverse events. Pre-discharge more than mild paravalvular leaks were significantly more common with the Portico (19.2%) and less common with the Evolut PRO (3.6%) compared with the Evolut R (11.8%) and ACURATE (9%) groups.ConclusionsTranscatheter self-expandable valves showed optimal clinical and echocardiographic results in patients with small aortic annuli, although supra-annular functioning transcatheter heart valves seemed to slightly outperform intra-annular functioning ones. The role of transcatheter aortic valve replacement with self-expandable valves for the treatment of aortic stenosis in patients with small annuli needs to be confirmed in larger trials. 相似文献

BackgroundThe current criteria for aortic stenosis (AS) severity have not incorporated sex-related differences.ObjectivesThe authors investigated sex-related serial changes in left ventricular (LV) structure/function and hemodynamics in AS.MethodsSerial echocardiograms of patients with severe AS (time 0; aortic valve area [AVA] ≤1 cm2) and ≥1 previous echocardiogram were compared between sexes.ResultsOf 927 patients (time 0: AVA 0.87 ± 0.11 cm2, peak velocity 4.03 ± 0.65 m/s, mean Doppler systolic pressure gradient [MG] 40.6 ± 13.1 mm Hg), 393 (42%) were women. Women had smaller body surface area (BSA) (1.77 ± 0.22 m2 vs 2.03 ± 0.20 m2; P < 0.001), lower stroke volume (SV) (81.1 ± 17.2 mL vs 88.3 ± 18.6 mL; P < 0.001), and more frequent low-gradient severe AS (n = 196 [50%] vs n = 181 [34%]; P < 0.001). Women consistently had smaller AVA, indexed AVA (AVAi), peak velocity, and MG than men. The difference in aortic valve gradient lessened when AVAi ≤0.6 cm2/m2 was applied as severe AS (n = 694, women 43%, AVA 0.95 ± 0.17 cm2, AVAi 0.50 ± 0.07 cm2/m2). Peak velocity (3.83 ± 0.66 m/s) and MG (36.5 ± 13.2 mm Hg) were lower based on AVAi severity criteria compared to those based on AVA. Men had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (55.8% ± 14.8% vs 61.1% ± 11.7%; P < 0.001) and greater reduction in SV (?13.3 ± 19.6 mL vs ?7.4 ± 16.4 mL; P < 0.001) as AS progressed from moderate to severe. Concentric LV hypertrophy was more common and E/e? higher in women (21.2 ± 10.9 vs 18.8 ± 9.1; P < 0.001). SV, LVEF, AVA, peak velocity, and MG became precipitously worse when AVA reached 1.2 cm2 in both sexes.ConclusionsSmaller BSA in women yields lower SV, resulting in lower aortic valve gradient than men. Indexed parameters by BSA are thus important in sex-related differences of aortic valve hemodynamics, but AVAi ≤0.6 cm2/m2 includes individuals with moderate AS. Elevated filling pressure is more common in women. Men experience a larger reduction in SV and LVEF as AS progresses. The definition of AS severity may require different criteria between sexes. 相似文献

BackgroundSurgical aortic valve replacement and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are now both used to treat aortic stenosis in patients in whom life expectancy may exceed valve durability. The choice of initial bioprosthesis should therefore consider the relative safety and efficacy of potential subsequent interventions.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare TAVR in failed transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) versus surgical aortic valves (SAVs).MethodsData were collected on 434 TAV-in-TAV and 624 TAV-in-SAV consecutive procedures performed at centers participating in the Redo-TAVR international registry. Propensity score matching was applied, and 330 matched (165:165) patients were analyzed. Principal endpoints were procedural success, procedural safety, and mortality at 30 days and 1 year.ResultsFor TAV-in-TAV versus TAV-in-SAV, procedural success was observed in 120 (72.7%) versus 103 (62.4%) patients (p = 0.045), driven by a numerically lower frequency of residual high valve gradient (p = 0.095), ectopic valve deployment (p = 0.081), coronary obstruction (p = 0.091), and conversion to open heart surgery (p = 0.082). Procedural safety was achieved in 116 (70.3%) versus 119 (72.1%) patients (p = 0.715). Mortality at 30 days was 5 (3%) after TAV-in-TAV and 7 (4.4%) after TAV-in-SAV (p = 0.570). At 1 year, mortality was 12 (11.9%) and 10 (10.2%), respectively (p = 0.633). Aortic valve area was larger (1.55 ± 0.5 cm2 vs. 1.37 ± 0.5 cm2; p = 0.040), and the mean residual gradient was lower (12.6 ± 5.2 mm Hg vs. 14.9 ± 5.2 mm Hg; p = 0.011) after TAV-in-TAV. The rate of moderate or greater residual aortic regurgitation was similar, but mild aortic regurgitation was more frequent after TAV-in-TAV (p = 0.003).ConclusionsIn propensity score–matched cohorts of TAV-in-TAV versus TAV-in-SAV patients, TAV-in-TAV was associated with higher procedural success and similar procedural safety or mortality. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe authors performed an updated meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials of renal denervation and specifically compared the effect of renal denervation in patients taking medications and in those not taking medications.BackgroundRenal denervation has now undergone several blinded placebo-controlled trials, covering the spectrum from patients with drug-resistant hypertension to those not yet taking antihypertensive medications.MethodsAll blinded placebo-controlled randomized trials of catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation for hypertension were systematically identified, and a random-effects meta-analysis was performed. The primary efficacy outcome was the change in ambulatory systolic blood pressure beyond the effect of the placebo procedure. Analysis was stratified by whether there was background antihypertensive medication use.ResultsThere were 7 eligible trials, totaling 1,368 patients. Denervation significantly reduced ambulatory systolic (mean difference −3.61 mm Hg; 95% CI: −4.89 to –2.33 mm Hg; P < 0.0001), ambulatory diastolic (−1.85 mm Hg; 95% CI: −2.78 to −0.92 mm Hg; P < 0.0001), office systolic (−5.86 mm Hg; 95% CI: −7.77 to −3.94 mm Hg; P < 0.0001), and office diastolic (−3.63 mm Hg; 95% CI: −4.77 to −2.50; P < 0.0001) blood pressure. There was no evidence that the use of concomitant antihypertensive medication had a significant impact on the effect of denervation on any of these endpoints (Pinteraction = NS for each comparison).ConclusionsThe randomized placebo-controlled trials show consistently that renal denervation provides significant reduction in ambulatory and office blood pressure. Although the magnitude of benefit, about 4/2 mm Hg, is modest, it is similar between patients on background antihypertensive medications and those who are not. Denervation could therefore be a useful strategy at various points for patients who are not willing to add antihypertensive agents. Whether the effect changes with time is currently unknown. 相似文献

BackgroundObstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) is increasingly being diagnosed in elderly patients.ObjectivesThe authors sought to study long-term outcomes of septal reduction therapies (SRT) in Medicare patients with oHCM, and hospital volume–outcome relation.MethodsMedicare beneficiaries aged >65 years who underwent SRT, septal myectomy (SM) or alcohol septal ablation (ASA), from 2013 through 2019 were identified. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and secondary outcomes included heart failure (HF) readmission and need for redo SRT in follow-up. Overlap propensity score weighting was used to adjust for differences between both groups. Relation between hospital SRT volume and short-term and long-term mortality was studied.ResultsThe study included 5,679 oHCM patients (SM = 3,680 and ASA = 1,999, mean age 72.9 vs 74.8 years, women 67.2% vs 71.1%; P < 0.01). SM patients had fewer comorbidities, but after adjustment, both groups were well balanced. At 4 years (IQR: 2-6 years), although there was no difference in long-term mortality between SM and ASA (HR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.74-1.03; P = 0.1), on landmark analysis, SM was associated with lower mortality after 2 years of follow-up (HR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.60-0.87; P < 0.001) and had lower need for redo SRT. Both reduced HF readmissions in follow-up vs 1 year pre-SRT. Higher-volume centers had better outcomes vs lower-volume centers, but 70% of SRT were performed in low-volume centers.ConclusionsSRT reduced HF readmission in Medicare patients with oHCM. SM is associated with lower redo and better long-term survival compared with ASA. Despite better outcomes in high-volume centers, 70% of SRT are performed in low-volume U.S. centers. 相似文献

BackgroundLeft ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is a leading cause of mortality and exclusion from transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). Intentional laceration of the anterior mitral valve leaflet to prevent LVOT obstruction (LAMPOON) is a transcatheter mimic of surgical chord-sparing leaflet resection.ObjectivesThe purpose of this prospective multicenter trial was to study LAMPOON with transseptal (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) TMVR in annuloplasty rings or native mitral annular calcification (MAC).MethodsSubjects at high or extreme surgical risk and prohibitive risk of LVOT obstruction from TMVR were included. Eligibility was modified midtrial to exclude subjects with threatened LVOT obstruction from a Sapien 3 valve fabric skirt. The primary endpoint was procedure survival with successful LAMPOON, with successful TMVR, without reintervention, and with LVOT gradient <30 mm Hg (“optimal”) or <50 mm Hg (“acceptable”). Secondary endpoints included 30-day mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events. There was universal source-data verification and independent monitoring. All endpoints were independently adjudicated. Central laboratories analyzed echocardiogram and CT images.ResultsBetween June 2017 and June 2018, 30 subjects were enrolled equally between the MAC and ring arms. LAMPOON traversal and midline laceration was successful in 100%. Procedure survival was 100%, and 30-day survival was 93%. Primary success was achieved in 73%, driven by additional procedures for paravalvular leak (10%) and high-skirt neo-LVOT gradients observed before a protocol amendment. There were no strokes.ConclusionsLAMPOON was feasible in native and annuloplasty ring anatomies in patients who were otherwise ineligible for treatment, with acceptable safety. LAMPOON was effective in preventing LVOT obstruction from TMVR. Despite LAMPOON, TMVR using Sapien 3 in annuloplasty rings and MAC still exhibits important limitations.
