Project description:BackgroundCardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain.AimThis study aimed to systematically review and analyse the existing evidence on outcomes of emergency transcatheter aortic valve implantation (eTAVI) and emergency balloon aortic valvuloplasty (eBAV) in CS patients.MethodsA systematic literature review and meta-analysis was performed. The primary endpoint was mortality at 30 days. Secondary endpoints were in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, bleeding, major vascular complications, myocardial infarction, stroke, incidence of pacemaker implantation, acute kidney injury and aortic regurgitation.ResultsSeventeen studies were included, totalling 2811 patients. The analysis revealed a 30-day mortality pooled estimated rate for eTAVI of 19% (CI 0.17 - 0.20) and for eBAV 39% (CI 0.32 - 0.46). In-hospital mortality pooled estimated rates were 11% for eTAVI (CI 0.06 - 0.18) and for eBAV 40% (CI 0.28 - 0.54). One-year mortality pooled estimated rates for eTAVI were 29% (CI 0.20 - 0.40) and for eBAV 67% (CI 0.58 - 0.74). Pooled estimated rates of any bleeding were 12% for eTAVI (CI 0.06 - 0.20) and 15% for eBAV (CI 0.10 - 0.21). The rate of major vascular complications for eTAVI was 8% (CI 0.07 - 0.10) and 3% for eBAV (CI 0.0 - 0.23).ConclusionsThis meta-analysis indicates that mortality in CS due to AS remains high despite emergency interventional treatment. These findings offer critical insights for clinical decision-making optimising patient care in this critically ill population.

Project description:BackgroundThe integration of computed tomography (CT)-derived left ventricular outflow tract area into the echocardiography-derived continuity equation results in the reclassification of a significant proportion of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) into moderate AS based on aortic valve area indexed to body surface area determined by fusion imaging (fusion AVAi). The aim of this study was to evaluate AS severity by a fusion imaging technique in patients with low-gradient AS and to compare the clinical impact of reclassified moderate AS versus severe AS.MethodsWe included 359 consecutive patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation for low-gradient, severe AS at two academic institutions and created a joint database. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality and rehospitalisations for heart failure at 1 year.ResultsOverall, 35% of the population (n = 126) were reclassified to moderate AS [median fusion AVAi 0.70 (interquartile range, IQR 0.65-0.80) cm2/m2] and severe AS was retained as the classification in 65% [median fusion AVAi 0.49 (IQR 0.43-0.54) cm2/m2]. Lower body mass index, higher logistic EuroSCORE and larger aortic dimensions characterised patients reclassified to moderate AS. Overall, 57% of patients had a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%. Clinical outcome was similar in patients with reclassified moderate or severe AS. Among patients reclassified to moderate AS, non-cardiac mortality was higher in those with LVEF <50% than in those with LVEF ≥50% (log-rank p = 0.029).ConclusionsThe integration of CT and transthoracic echocardiography to obtain fusion AVAi led to the reclassification of one third of patients with low-gradient AS to moderate AS. Reclassification did not affect clinical outcome, although patients reclassified to moderate AS with a LVEF <50% had worse outcomes owing to excess non-cardiac mortality.

Project description:BackgroundSex-specific thresholds of computed tomography (CT)-derived aortic valve calcification (AVC) or AVC density (AVCd) to identify severe aortic stenosis (AS) have been established in populations that consisted mainly of Caucasians with a tricuspid aortic valve. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy (i.e., sensitivity and specificity) of previously established thresholds to identify severe AS in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and according to ethnicity: Caucasian vs. Asian.MethodsWe built a multicenter registry of echocardiographic and CT data collected in BAV patients with at least mild AS and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction from 7 different centers. Anatomic severity of AS obtained by CT-derived AVC and AVCd was compared to hemodynamic severity of AS obtained by echocardiography.ResultsAmong 485 BAV patients (60% men, 73% Asians), the best thresholds of AVC and AVCd to identify severe AS in BAV patients were 2315 arbitrary units (AU) (sensitivity [Se]/specificity [Spe] = 82/78%) in men, 1103 AU (Se/Spe = 80/82%) in women, and 561 AU/cm2 (Se/Spe = 86/91%) in men, and 301 AU/cm2 (Se/Spe = 83/82%) in women, respectively. According to ethnicity, thresholds for severe AS in Caucasian patients were, respectively, in men and women: 2208 AU (Se/Spe = 83/83%) and 1230 AU (Se/Spe = 87/82%) for AVC and 474 AU/cm2 (Se/Spe = 88/83%) and 358 AU/cm2 (Se/Spe = 80/82%) for AVCd. In Asian patients, they were 2582 AU (Se/Spe = 76/78%) and 924 AU (Se/Spe = 84/80%) for AVC and 640 AU/cm2 (Se/Spe = 82/89%) and 255 AU/cm2 (Se/Spe = 86/80%) for AVCd.ConclusionsThe optimal thresholds to identify hemodynamically severe AS in BAV patients are similar in Caucasians but appear to be higher in Asian men, compared with thresholds previously reported in tricuspid aortic valve patients. Nonetheless, the thresholds currently proposed in the guidelines have good accuracy and can be applied in BAV patients to confirm AS severity.

Project description:ObjectiveCT quantification of aortic valve calcification (CT-AVC) is useful in the assessment of aortic stenosis severity. Our objective was to assess its ability to track aortic stenosis progression compared with echocardiography.MethodsSubjects were recruited in two cohorts: (1) a reproducibility cohort where patients underwent repeat CT-AVC or echocardiography within 4 weeks and (2) a disease progression cohort where patients underwent annual CT-AVC and/or echocardiography. Cohen's d-statistic (d) was computed from the ratio of annualised progression and measurement repeatability and used to estimate group sizes required to detect annualised changes in CT-AVC and echocardiography.ResultsA total of 33 (age 71±8) and 81 participants (age 72±8) were recruited to the reproducibility and progression cohorts, respectively. Ten CT scans (16%) were excluded from the progression cohort due to non-diagnostic image quality. Scan-rescan reproducibility was excellent for CT-AVC (limits of agreement -12% to 10 %, intraclass correlation (ICC) 0.99), peak velocity (-7% to +17%; ICC 0.92) mean gradient (-25% to 27%, ICC 0.96) and dimensionless index (-11% to +15%; ICC 0.98). Repeat measurements of aortic valve area (AVA) were less reliable (-44% to +28%, ICC 0.85).CT-AVC progressed by 152 (65-375) AU/year. For echocardiography, the median annual change in peak velocity was 0.1 (0.0-0.3) m/s/year, mean gradient 2 (0-4) mm Hg/year and AVA -0.1 (-0.2-0.0) cm2/year. Cohen's d-statistic was more than double for CT-AVC (d=3.12) than each echocardiographic measure (peak velocity d=0.71 ; mean gradient d=0.66; AVA d=0.59, dimensionless index d=1.41).ConclusionCT-AVC is reproducible and demonstrates larger increases over time normalised to measurement repeatability compared with echocardiographic measures.

Project description:Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure is a well-established therapeutic measure for severe aortic stenosis with expanding indications. We present a case of a patient who had undergone a TAVI procedure during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the grounds of cardiogenic shock.Learning objectivesDuring the past decade, as platform and delivery technology regarding the implementation of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have improved, procedure indications expanded both to low and very high-risk patients. Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock on the grounds of severe aortic stenosis identifies yet another sub-group of patients that could benefit from TAVI.

Project description:BackgroundCardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality (27-51%). Little is known about the feasibility and safety of emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for critical aortic stenosis (AS) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with CS.Case summaryA 57-year-old male with history of tobacco dependence and diabetes mellitus presented with acute posterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and CS. The patient initially underwent successful primary percutaneous intervention to an anomalous circumflex artery coming off the right cusp. It was noted to have advanced CS out of proportion to his coronary anatomy. Echocardiographic assessment noted critical AS. Heart team decided to perform percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty under support of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty was performed and was complicated by severe aortic regurgitation (AR). A balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve was then placed with resolution of AR and stabilization of the patient. Then, the patient was subsequently decannulated within a week then was able to go home after 47 days (32 days intensive care unit). His course was notable for a minor stroke due to initial period of hypotension and CS. He was extubated and remained hospitalized for several weeks participating in rehabilitation. Follow-up echo showed a well-seated and functioning transcatheter heart valve. His left ventricular systolic function improved from 21% to 45%.ConclusionEmergency TAVR is feasible and can be performed in a patient with AMI and CS. Early initiation of mechanical support allowed the patient to receive definitive treatment. The multidisciplinary heart team is essential and reflected in the ultimate outcome of our patient.

Project description:Background: In patients with aortic stenosis, computed tomography (CT) provides important information about cardiovascular anatomy for treatment planning but is limited in determining relevant hemodynamic parameters such as the transvalvular pressure gradient (TPG). Purpose: In the present study, we aimed to validate a reduced-order model method for assessing TPG in aortic stenosis using CT data. Methods: TPGCT was calculated using a reduced-order model requiring the patient-specific peak-systolic aortic flow rate (Q) and the aortic valve area (AVA). AVA was determined by segmentation of the aortic valve leaflets, whereas Q was quantified based on volumetric assessment of the left ventricle. For validation, invasively measured TPGcatheter was calculated from pressure measurements in the left ventricle and the ascending aorta. Altogether, 84 data sets of patients with aortic stenosis were used to compare TPGCT against TPGcatheter. Results: TPGcatheter and TPGCT were 50.6 ± 28.0 and 48.0 ± 26 mmHg, respectively (p = 0.56). A Bland-Altman analysis revealed good agreement between both methods with a mean difference in TPG of 2.6 mmHg and a standard deviation of 19.3 mmHg. Both methods showed good correlation with r = 0.72 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The presented CT-based method allows assessment of TPG in patients with aortic stenosis, extending the current capabilities of cardiac CT for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Project description:Thiele H, Zeymer U, Neumann FJ, Ferenc M, Olbrich HG, Hausleiter J, Richardt G, Hennersdorf M, Empen K, Fuernau G, Desch S, Eitel I, Hambrecht R, Fuhrmann J, Böhm M, Ebelt H, Schneider S, Schuler G, Werdan K; IABP-SHOCK II Trial Investigators: Intraaortic balloon support for myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. N Engl J Med 2012, 367:1287-1296.In the current international guidelines, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) counterpulsation is considered a class I treatment for acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. However, evidence is based mainly on registry data, and there is a paucity of randomized clinical trials.To test the hypothesis that IABP counterpulsation, as compared with the best available medical therapy alone, results in a reduction in mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock for whom early revascularization is planned.Randomized, prospective, open-label, multicenter trial.Thirty-seven centers in Germany.All adults had acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock and were expected to undergo early revascularization (by means of percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery).After enrollment, 600 patients were randomly assigned to intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP group, 301 patients) or no IABP counterpulsation (control group, 299 patients).The primary efficacy endpoint is 30-day all-cause mortality.At 30 days, 119 patients in the IABP group (39.7%) and 123 patients in the control group (41.3%) had died (relative risk with IABP, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.79 to 1.17; P=0.69). There were no significant differences in secondary endpoints or in process-of-care measures, including the time to hemodynamic stabilization, the length of stay in the intensive care unit, serum lactate levels, the dose and duration of catecholamine therapy, and renal function.The use of IABP counterpulsation did not significantly reduce 30-day mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock for whom an early revascularization strategy was planned.

Project description:Background:Cardiogenic shock is associated with high mortality, despite new strategies for reperfusion therapy. Short-term circulatory support devices may provide adequate support for appropriate myocardial and organ perfusion. Objectives:This review is aimed at evaluating the impact on survival when using venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods:We performed a systematic review that included studies using V-A ECMO in patients with cardiogenic shock. Time on ECMO, side effects, and the number of deceased patients, transplanted or upgraded to durable assist devices were analysed. Literature search was done using PubMed/MEDLINE (inception (1969) to January 10, 2019), ProQuest (inception (January 14, 1988) to January 10, 2019), and clinicaltrials.gov (inception (September 12, 2005) to January 10, 2019), by 2 authors. This protocol is registered with PROSPERO (no. CRD42019123982). Results:We included 9 studies with a total of 1,998 adult patients receiving V-A ECMO for AMI-induced cardiogenic shock. Survival rate varied from 30.0% to 79.2% at discharge and from 23.2% to 36.1% at 12 months. Time on ECMO varied between 1.96 and 6.0 days. Reported serious adverse events were gastrointestinal bleeding (3.6%) and peripheral complications (8.5%). Conclusion:The use of V-A ECMO among patients with AMI-induced cardiogenic shock may provide survival benefits. However, V-A ECMO treatment effects are inconclusive because of limitations in cohort design and reporting.
