ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to report the midterm outcomes at 1 year in the expanded first-in-human experience with the transfemoral EVOQUE system (Edwards Lifesciences) for tricuspid regurgitation (TR).BackgroundUntreated TR is associated with excess mortality and morbidity. The first-in-human experience with the EVOQUE tricuspid valve replacement system reported favorable 30-day outcomes with no mortality in a compassionate use population.MethodsTwenty-seven patients with severe TR were treated with the EVOQUE system in a compassionate use experience at 7 centers between May 2019 and July 2020. All patients had clinical right-sided heart failure (HF) and were deemed inoperable and unsuitable for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair by the institutional heart teams. The clinical outcomes collected included all-cause mortality, symptom status, TR severity, HF hospitalization, and major adverse cardiovascular events.ResultsAt baseline, all patients (age: 77 ± 8 years, 89% female) were at high surgical risk (mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons score: 8.6% ± 5.5%), with 89% New York Heart Association functional class III/IV. TR was predominantly functional in etiology (19/27, 70%). At 1 year, mortality was 7% (2/27), 70% of patients were New York Heart Association functional class I/II, and 96% and 87% of patients had a TR grade ≤2+ and ≤1+, respectively. Between 30 days and 1 year, 2 patients experienced HF hospitalizations, and 1 patient required a new pacemaker implantation.ConclusionsIn this early, compassionate use experience, the transfemoral transcatheter EVOQUE tricuspid valve replacement system demonstrated durable efficacy, persistent improvement in symptom status, and low rates of mortality and HF hospitalizations at a 1-year follow-up. Further studies are underway to validate its efficacy.  相似文献

BackgroundBone scintigraphy is extremely valuable when assessing patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA), but the clinical significance and associated phenotype of different degrees of cardiac uptake across different types is yet to be defined.ObjectivesThis study sought to define the phenotypes of patients with varying degrees of cardiac uptake on bone scintigraphy, across multiple types of systemic amyloidosis, using extensive characterization comprising biomarkers as well as echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.MethodsA total of 296 patients (117 with immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis [AL], 165 with transthyretin amyloidosis [ATTR], 7 with apolipoprotein AI amyloidosis [AApoAI], and 7 with apolipoprotein AIV amyloidosis [AApoAIV]) underwent deep characterization of their cardiac phenotype.ResultsAL patients with grade 0 myocardial radiotracer uptake spanned the spectrum of CMR findings from no CA to characteristic CA, whereas AL patients with grades 1 to 3 always produced characteristic CMR features. In ATTR, the CA burden strongly correlated with myocardial tracer uptake, except in Ser77Tyr. AApoAI presented with grade 0 or 1 and disproportionate right-sided involvement. AApoAIV always presented with grade 0 and characteristic CA. AL grade 1 patients (n = 48; 100%) had characteristic CA, whereas only ATTR grade 1 patients with Ser77Tyr had characteristic CA on CMR (n = 5; 11.4%). After exclusion of Ser77Tyr, AApoAI, and AApoAIV, CMR showing characteristic CA or an extracellular volume of >0.40 in patients with grade 0 to 1 cardiac uptake had a sensitivity and specificity of 100% for AL.ConclusionsThere is a wide variation in cardiac phenotype between different amyloidosis types across different degrees of cardiac uptake. The combination of CMR and bone scintigraphy can help to define the diagnostic differentials and the clinical phenotype in each individual patient.  相似文献

Secondary (functional) tricuspid regurgitation (sTR) is common in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). Because combined valvular heart disease affects long-term survival, in comparison with isolated MR or tricuspid regurgitation, it is essential to offer patients adequate treatment. Despite considerable experience, no conclusive data are yet available on the prognostic impact of concomitant tricuspid valve surgery at the time of mitral valve surgery. Emerging transcatheter treatments offer the opportunity to treat both conditions (MR and sTR) simultaneously or in a stepwise fashion. This review provides a clinical overview on available data regarding the rationale for treatment of sTR in patients with relevant MR undergoing mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, focusing on clinical and anatomical selection criteria.  相似文献

BackgroundLittle is known about the determinants and outcomes of significant atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (AFTR).ObjectivesThe authors aimed to identify risk factors for significant TR in relation to atrial fibrillation-flutter (AF-AFL) and assess its prognostic implications.MethodsThe authors retrospectively studied patients with mild TR with follow-up echocardiography examinations. Significant TR was defined as greater than or equal to moderate TR. AFTR was defined as TR, attributed to right atrial (RA) remodeling or isolated tricuspid annular dilatation, without other primary or secondary etiology, except for AF-AFL. The Mantel-Byar test was used to compare clinical outcomes by progression of AFTR.ResultsOf 833 patients with mild TR, 291 (34.9%) had AF-AFL. During the median 4.6 years, significant TR developed in 35 patients, including 33 AFTRs. Significant AFTR occurred in patients with AF-AFL more predominantly than in those patients without AF-AFL (10.3% vs 0.6%; P < 0.001). In Cox analysis, AF-AFL was a strong risk factor for AFTR (adjusted HR: 8.33 [95% CI: 2.34-29.69]; P = 0.001). Among patients with AF-AFL, those who developed significant AFTR had larger baseline RA areas (23.8 vs 19.4 cm2; P < 0.001) and RA area-to-right ventricle end-systolic area ratio (3.0 vs 2.3; P < 0.001) than those who did not. These parameters were independent predictors of AFTR progression. The 10-year major adverse cardiovascular event was significantly higher after progression of AFTR than before or without progression (79.8% vs 8.6%; Mantel-Byar P < 0.001).ConclusionsIn patients with mild TR, significant AFTR developed predominantly in patients with AF-AFL, conferring poor prognosis. RA enlargement, especially with increased RA area-to-right ventricle end-systolic area ratio, was a strong risk factor for progression of AFTR.  相似文献

BackgroundAortic valve stenosis is a progressive disorder with variable progression rates. The factors affecting aortic stenosis (AS) progression remain largely unknown.ObjectivesThis systematic review and meta-analysis sought to determine AS progression rates and to assess the impact of baseline AS severity and sex on disease progression.MethodsThe authors searched Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to July 1, 2020, for prospective studies evaluating the progression of AS with the use of echocardiography (mean gradient [MG], peak velocity [PV], peak gradient [PG], or aortic valve area [AVA]) or computed tomography (calcium score [AVC]). Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the rate of AS progression for each parameter stratified by baseline severity, and meta-regression was performed to determine the impact of baseline severity and of sex on AS progression rate.ResultsA total of 24 studies including 5,450 patients (40% female) met inclusion criteria. The pooled annualized progression of MG was +4.10 mm Hg (95% CI: 2.80-5.41 mm Hg), AVA −0.08 cm2 (95% CI: 0.06-0.10 cm2), PV +0.19 m/s (95% CI: 0.13-0.24 m/s), PG +7.86 mm Hg (95% CI: 4.98-10.75 mm Hg), and AVC +158.5 AU (95% CI: 55.0-261.9 AU). Increasing baseline severity of AS was predictive of higher rates of progression for MG (P < 0.001), PV (P = 0.001), and AVC (P < 0.001), but not AVA (P = 0.34) or PG (P = 0.21). Only 4 studies reported AS progression stratified by sex, with only PV and AVC having 3 studies to perform a meta-analysis. No difference between sex was observed for PV (P = 0.397) or AVC (P = 0.572), but the level of confidence was low.ConclusionsThis study provides progression rates for both hemodynamic and anatomic parameters of AS and shows that increasing hemodynamic and anatomic baseline severity is associated with faster AS progression. More studies are needed to determine if sex differences affect AS progression. (Aortic Valve Stenosis Progression Rate: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis; CRD42021207726)  相似文献

BackgroundCurrent expected normal echocardiographic measures of transcatheter heart valve (THV) function were derived from pooled cohorts of the randomized trials; however, THV function by flow state before or following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has not been previously reported.ObjectivesThis study sought to assess the expected normal echocardiographic hemodynamics for the balloon-expandable THV grouped by stroke volume index (SVI).MethodsPatients with severe aortic stenosis enrolled in PARTNER (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves) 1 (high/extreme surgical risk), PARTNER 2 (intermediate surgical risk), or PARTNER 3 (low surgical risk) trials with complete core laboratory echocardiography were included. Patients were grouped by low-flow (SVILOW <35 mL/m2) and normal-flow (SVINORMAL ≥35 mL/m2). Mean gradient, effective orifice area (EOA), and Doppler velocity index (DVI) were collected at baseline and at 30 days post-TAVR. Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) was both calculated and predicted from normative data, using defined criteria.ResultsIn the entire population (N = 4,991), mean age was 81.8 years, 58% of patients were male, and 42% had low flow. Compared with patients with baseline SVINORMAL, those with SVILOW were more likely to be male; have more comorbidities; and lower left ventricular ejection fraction, mean gradient, and EOA. Post-TAVR, SVILOW increased to SVINORMAL in 17.3% and SVINORMAL decreased to SVILOW in 12.3% of patients. Using baseline SVI, follow-up EOA, mean gradient, and DVI for patients with SVILOW tended to be lower than for patients with SVINORMAL. Using the post-TAVR SVI, follow-up EOA, mean gradient, and DVI were significantly lower for patients with SVILOW than for those with SVINORMAL (P < 0.001 for all). The incidence of calculated, but not predicted, severe PPM was higher in patients with low flow than it was in patients with normal flow, suggesting pseudo-PPM in the presence of low flow.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that flow affects THV hemodynamics and both baseline and follow-up SVI should be considered when predicting THV hemodynamics prior to TAVR, as well as assessing valve function following valve implantation.  相似文献

ObjectivesThe study compared 1-year outcomes between transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) morphology and clinically similar patients having tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) morphology.BackgroundThere are limited prospective data on TAVR using the SAPIEN 3 device in low-surgical-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis and bicuspid anatomy.MethodsLow-risk, severe aortic stenosis patients with BAV were candidates for the PARTNER 3 (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves 3) (P3) bicuspid registry or the P3 bicuspid continued access protocol. Patients treated in these registries were pooled and propensity score matched to TAV patients from the P3 randomized TAVR trial. Outcomes were compared between groups. The primary endpoint was the 1-year composite rate of death, stroke, and cardiovascular rehospitalization.ResultsOf 320 total submitted BAV patients, 169 (53%) were treated, and most were Sievers type 1. The remaining 151 patients were excluded caused by anatomic or clinical criteria. Propensity score matching with the P3 TAVR cohort (496 patients) yielded 148 pairs. There were no differences in baseline clinical characteristics; however, BAV patients had larger annuli and they experienced longer procedure duration. There was no difference in the primary endpoint between BAV and TAV (10.9% vs 10.2%; P = 0.80) or in the rates of the individual components (death: 0.7% vs 1.4%; P = 0.58; stroke: 2.1% vs 2.0%; P = 0.99; cardiovascular rehospitalization: 9.6% vs 9.5%; P = 0.96).ConclusionsAmong highly select bicuspid aortic stenosis low-surgical-risk patients without extensive raphe or subannular calcification, TAVR with the SAPIEN 3 valve demonstrated similar outcomes to a matched cohort of patients with tricuspid aortic stenosis.  相似文献

Respiratory viruses like rhinovirus, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and coronavirus cause several respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, and coronavirus disease 2019, and exacerbate bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, and diffuse panbronchiolitis. The production of inflammatory mediators and mucin and the accumulation of inflammatory cells have been reported in patients with viral infection-induced respiratory diseases. Interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted are produced in the cells, including human airway and alveolar epithelial cells, partly through the activation of toll-like receptors, nuclear factor kappa B and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase. These mediators are associated with the development of viral infection-induced respiratory diseases through the induction of inflammation and injury in the airway and lung, airway remodeling and hyperresponsiveness, and mucus secretion. Medications used to treat respiratory diseases, including corticosteroids, long-acting β2-agonists, long-acting muscarinic antagonists, mucolytic agents, antiviral drugs for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and influenza virus, macrolides, and Kampo medicines, reduce the production of viral infection-induced mediators, including cytokines and mucin, as determined in clinical, in vivo, or in vitro studies. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effects of these medications on viral infection-induced respiratory diseases may be associated with clinical benefits, such as improvements in symptoms, quality of life, and mortality rate, and can prevent hospitalization and the exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, and diffuse panbronchiolitis.  相似文献
