Aortic root evaluation prior to transcatheter aortic valve implantation-Correlation of manual and semi-automatic measurements.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Pre-procedural TAVI planning requires highly sophisticated and time-consuming manual measurements performed by experienced readers. Semi-automatic software may assist with partial automation of assessment of multiple parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences between manual and semi-automatic measurements in terms of agreement and time. METHODS:One hundred and twenty TAVI candidates referred for the retrospectively ECG-gated CTA (2nd and 3rd generation dual source CT) were evaluated. Fully manual and semi-automatic measurements of fourteen aortic root parameters were assessed in the 20% phase of the R-R interval. Reading time was compared using paired samples t-test. Inter-software agreement was calculated using the Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) in a 2-way mixed effects model. Differences between manual and semi-automatic measurements were evaluated using Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS:The time needed for evaluation using semi-automatic assessment (3 min 24 s ± 1 min 7 s) was significantly lower (p<0.001) compared to a fully manual approach (6 min 31 sec ± 1 min 1 sec). Excellent inter-software agreement was found (ICC = 0.93 ± 0.0; range:0.90-0.95). The same prosthesis size from manual and semi-automatic measurements was selected in 92% of cases, when sizing was based on annular area. Prosthesis sizing based on annular short diameter and perimeter agreed in 99% and 96% cases, respectively. CONCLUSION:Use of semi-automatic software in pre-TAVI evaluation results in comparable results in respect of measurements and selected valve prosthesis size, while necessary reading time is significantly lower.

Project description:ObjectiveTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures are increasing rapidly, but the durability of tissue valve and periprocedural complications are not satisfactory. Immune reaction to the galactose-α-1,3 galactose β-1,4-N-acetylglucosamine (α-Gal) and conventional processing protocols of cardiac xenografts lead to calcification. Next-generation TAVI needs to be made with α-Gal-free xenografts by multiple anticalcification therapies to avoid immune rejection and enhance durability, and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to improve the procedural safety.MethodsPorcine pericardia were decellularized and immunologically modified with α-galactosidase. The pericardia were treated by space filler, crosslinked with glutaraldehyde in organic solvent, and detoxified. The sheep-specific nitinol (nickel-titanium memory alloy) wire backbone was made from a 3D-printed model for ovine aortic root. After it passed the fitting test, we manufactured a self-expandable stented valve with the porcine pericardia mounted on the customized nitinol wire-based stent. After in vitro circulation using customized silicone aortic root, we performed TAVI in 9 sheep and obtained hemodynamic, radiological, immunohistopathological, and biochemical results.ResultsThe valve functioned well, with excellent stent fitting and good coronary flow under in vitro circulation. Sheep were sequentially scheduled to be humanely killed until 238 days after TAVI. Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization demonstrated good hemodynamic status and function of the aortic valve. The xenografts were well preserved without α-Gal immune reaction or calcification based on the immunological, radiographic, microscopic, and biochemical examinations.ConclusionsWe proved preclinical safety and efficacy for next-generation α-Gal-free TAVI with multiple anticalcification therapies and 3D-printing technology. A future clinical study is warranted based on these promising preclinical results.
