Prognostic impact of hepatorenal function in patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve repair.

ABSTRACT: Hepatorenal dysfunction is a strong risk factor in patients with heart failure (HF). We investigated the prognostic significance of hepatorenal dysfunction in 172 consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR). The model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalized ratio (MELD-XI) score was calculated as 5.11 × ln(serum total bilirubin [mg/dl]) + 11.76 × ln(serum creatinine [mg/dl]) + 9.44. Patients were stratified into two groups: high (≥ 14) or low (< 14) MELD-XI score, according to the best cut-off value to predict a one-year composite outcome consisting of all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization. Compared to patients with low MELD-XI score (n = 121), patients with high MELD-XI score (n = 51) had a higher incidence of the composite outcome (47.1% vs. 17.4%; p < 0.0001). In the multivariable analysis, the MELD-XI score was an independent predictor of the composite outcome (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.19; p = 0.0003). In addition, post-procedural TR < 3 + after TTVR was independently associated with a reduction in MELD-XI score six months after TTVR (adjusted odds ratio: 3.37; 95% CI 1.09-10.40; p = 0.03). Thus, the MELD-XI score was associated with the risk of one-year composite outcome, consisting of mortality and HF hospitalization, after TTVR and may help the risk stratification in patients undergoing TTVR.

Prognostic value of hepatorenal function following transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

Project description:BackgroundHepatorenal dysfunction is a strong prognostic predictor in patients with heart failure. However, the prognostic impact of the hepatorenal dysfunction in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) has not been well studied.MethodsIn consecutive patients who underwent edge-to-edge TMVR at three German centers, the model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalized ratio (MELD-XI) score was calculated as 5.11 × ln [serum total bilirubin (mg/dl)] + 11.76 × ln [serum creatinine (mg/dl)] + 9.44. Patients were stratified into high (> 11) or low (≤ 11) MELD-XI score of which an incidence of the composite outcome, consisting of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization, within 2 years after TMVR was assessed.ResultsOf the 881 patients, the mean MELD-XI score was 11.0 ± 5.9, and 415 patients (47.1%) had high MELD-XI score. The MELD-XI score was correlated with male, effective regurgitant orifice area, and tricuspid regurgitation severity and inversely related to left ventricular ejection fraction. Patients with high MELD-XI score had a higher incidence of the composite outcome than those with low MELD-XI score (47.7% vs. 29.8%; p < 0.0001), and in multivariable analysis, the high MELD-XI score was an independent predictor of the composite outcome [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.34; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.77; p = 0.04). Additionally, the MELD-XI score as a continuous variable was also an independent predictor (adjusted HR 1.02; 95% CI 1.00-1.05; p = 0.048).ConclusionsThe MELD-XI score was associated with clinical outcomes within 2 years after TMVR and can be a useful risk-stratification tool in patients undergoing TMVR.

Prognostic Impact of Left Atrial Function Following Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair.

Project description:Background Left atrial ( LA ) function predicts clinical outcome in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. However, limited data are available in the setting of mitral regurgitation. The aim of the present study was to assess potential changes in LA ejection fraction (LAEF) and its prognostic value in patients following transcatheter mitral valve repair using the MitraClip. Methods and Results A total of 88 consecutive patients undergoing MitraClip implantation with complete echocardiography at baseline and follow-up between 3 and 6 months postprocedure were enrolled. LAEF improved in 58% of the population. Change in LAEF was associated with residual mitral regurgitation, residual transmitral gradient and left ventricular ejection fraction changes. Compared with their counterparts, patients with residual mitral regurgitation ≥grade 2 (change in LAEF, -6% [Interquartile [IQR], -9-1%] versus 4% [IQR, -5-15%]; P=0.05) and with residual transmitral gradient ≥5 mm Hg (change in LAEF, -2% [IQR, -9-9%] versus 5% [IQR, -4-16%]; P=0.03) showed a decline in LAEF , respectively. Furthermore, LAEF significantly correlated with changes in left ventricular ejection fraction ( r=0.40; P=0.001). With regards to clinical outcome, heart failure symptoms as assessed by New York Heart Association class were more severe in patients with worsened LAEF at follow-up. Finally, LAEF change was identified as an independent predictor of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.90-0.98 [ P=0.008]). Conclusions The present analysis showed that changes in LA function in patients undergoing MitraClip implantation are associated with important measures including residual mitral regurgitation, elevated transmitral gradient, and left ventricular function. Importantly, LA function alterations represent a strong predictor for all-cause mortality.

Acute Afterload Mismatch After Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair.

Project description:Acute afterload mismatch and left ventricular dysfunction after mitral valve repair are well established. The impact of transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) on right ventricular (RV) function is less clearly defined. To our knowledge, there are no reports of acute RV dysfunction after TTVr. Here we report a case of acute afterload mismatch after successful TTVr. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Prognostic Impact of Tricuspid Regurgitation in Patients Undergoing Aortic Valve Surgery for Aortic Stenosis.

Project description:BackgroundThe prognostic significance of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and right ventricular (RV) function in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) is unknown. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of TR and RV systolic dysfunction on early and late mortality in this setting.MethodsThis was a prospective single-center observational study. 465 consecutive patients who were referred to AVR for severe AS were investigated. Significant TR was defined as TR≥moderate by transthoracic echocardiography.ResultsAt baseline, significant TR was present in 26 (5.6%) patients. Patients with TR presented with a higher EuroSCORE I (p = 0.001), a higher incidence of previous cardiac surgery (p<0.001), pulmonary hypertension (p = 0.003), more dilated RVs (p = 0.001), and more frequent RV dysfunction (p = 0.001). Patients were followed for an average of 5.2 (±2.8 SD) years. By multivariable Cox regression analysis TR (p = 0.014), RV dysfunction (p = 0.046), age (p = 0.001) and concomitant coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG, p = 0.003) were independently associated with overall mortality. By Kaplan-Meier analysis, survival rates were significantly worse in patients with significant than with non-significant TR (log rank p = 0.001).ConclusionsTR, RV dysfunction, age, and concomitant CABG are associated with outcome in patients undergoing AVR for severe AS. This finding underlines the importance of a thorough echocardiographic evaluation with particular consideration of the right heart in these patients.

Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair: early experience in the Netherlands.

Project description:BackgroundSymptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is increasingly prevalent and impairs quality of life and survival, despite medical treatment. Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR) has recently become available as a treatment option for patients not eligible for tricuspid valve surgery. In this study we describe the early experience with TTVR in the Netherlands.MethodsAll consecutive patients scheduled for TTVR in two tertiary hospitals were included in the current study. Patients were symptomatic and had severe functional TR. TTVR was performed either with the MitraClip (off-label use) or dedicated TriClip delivery system and device. Procedural success was defined as achievement of clip implantation, TR reduction ≥ 1 grade and no need for re-do surgical or transcatheter intervention. Clinical improvement was evaluated after 4 weeks.ResultsTwenty-one patients (median age 78 years, 33% male, 95% New York Heart Association class ≥ 3, 100% history of atrial fibrillation) underwent TTVR. Procedural success was achieved in 16 patients, of whom 15 reported symptomatic improvement (New York Heart Association class 1 or 2). There was no in-hospital mortality and no major complications occurred. Baseline glomerular filtration rate and TR coaptation gap size were associated with procedural success.ConclusionThe current study showed that TTVR seems a promising treatment option for patients with severe functional TR deemed high risk for surgery. Successful TR reduction is most likely in patients with limited coaptation gap size and strongly determines clinical benefit. Adequate patient selection and timing of treatment seem essential for an optimal patient outcome.

Longitudinal echocardiographic and clinical follow-up of patients undergoing mitral valve surgery without concomitant tricuspid valve repair.

Project description:BackgroundIn patients with mild to moderate functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and absence of right ventricular dysfunction or tricuspid annulus (TA) dilatation, there is currently no indication for concomitant tricuspid valve (TV) repair during elective mitral valve (MV) surgery. However, long-term results are conflicting. Here, we sought to determine the clinical outcome of this cohort, the rate of TR progression after MV surgery and the role of MV aetiology.MethodsPatients for elective MV surgery without concomitant TV repair were retrospectively analysed with longitudinal echocardiographic and clinical follow-up, focusing on TR progression and MV aetiology. Linear regression analysis was performed for change in TR at follow-up, using pre-determined variables and confounders.ResultsIn total 204 patients without TV repair were analysed. Development of more than moderate TR after a median of 3.1 [1.6-4.6] years was rarely seen: only in 2 out of 161 patients (1.2%) with known TR grade at follow-up. Overall, median preoperative and late postoperative TR grade were equal (p?=?0.116). Subanalysis showed no significant difference in MV aetiology subgroups. Preoperative TR grade and male gender were inversely correlated to change in TR. Mortality was not influenced by the 1?year postoperative TR severity.ConclusionOur data showed that in a study population of patients with mild to moderate TR undergoing MV surgery without concomitant TV repair, significant late TR was rarely seen. Based on our study, it is safe to waive concomitant TV repair in this specific patient cohort.

Impact of frailty on periprocedural health care utilization in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

Project description:BackgroundFrailty is a common characteristic of patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR). It is unclear whether the physical vulnerability of frail patients translates into increased procedural health care utilization.Methods and resultsFrailty was assessed using the Fried criteria in 229 patients undergoing TMVR using the MitraClip system at our institution and associations with total costs and costs by cost centers within the hospital incurred during periprocedural hospitalization were examined. Frail patients (n = 107, 47%) compared to non-frail patients showed significantly higher total costs [median/interquartile range, excluding implant costs: 7,337 € (5,911-9,814) vs 6,238 € (5,584-7,499), p = 0.001], with a difference in means of 2,317 €. Frailty was the only clinical baseline characteristic with significant association with total costs. Higher total costs in frail patients were attributable primarily to longer stay on intermediate/intensive care unit (3.8 ± 5.7 days in frail vs 2.1 ± 1.7 days in non-frail, p = 0.003), but also to costs of clinical chemistry and physiotherapy. The prolonged stay on intermediate/intensive care unit in frail patients was attributable to postprocedural complications such as bleeding, kidney injury, infections and cardiovascular instability.ConclusionFrailty is associated with a mean 32% increase of hospital costs in patients undergoing TMVR, which is primarily the result of a prolonged recovery and increased vulnerability to complications. These findings are valuable for a hospital's total cost calculation and resource allocation planning. Since frailty is regarded a potentially reversible health state, preventive interventions may help reduce costs in frail patients.

Hemodynamic Characteristics and Outcomes of Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients Undergoing Tricuspid Valve Repair or Replacement.

Project description:BackgroundThe impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on outcomes after surgical tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) and repair (TVr) is unclear. We sought to characterize PH in patients undergoing TVR/TVr, based on invasive hemodynamics and evaluate the effect of PH on mortality.MethodsWe identified 86 consecutive patients who underwent TVR/TVr with invasive hemodynamic measurements within 3 months before surgery. We used Kaplan-Meier survival and restricted mean survival time (RMST) analyses to quantify the effects of PH on survival.ResultsThe mean age was 63 ± 13 years, 59% were female, 45% had TVR, 55% had TVr, 39.5% had isolated TVR/TVr, and 60.5% had TVR/TVr concomitant with other cardiac surgeries). Eighty-six percent of these patients had PH with a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 30 ± 10 mm Hg, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) of 2.5 (interquartile range: 1.5-3.9) Wood units (WU), pulmonary arterial compliance of 2.3 (1.6-3.6) mL/mm Hg, and pulmonary arterial elastance of 0.8 (0.6-1.2) mm Hg/mL. Cardiac output was mildly reduced at 4.0 ± 1.4 L/min, with elevated right-atrial pressure (14 ± 12 mm Hg) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (19 ± 7 mm Hg). Over a median follow-up of 6.3 years, 22% of patients died. Patients with PVR ≥ 2.5 WU had lower RMST over 5 years compared with patients with PVR < 2.5 WU.ConclusionPH is common in patients undergoing TVR/TVr, with combined pre- and postcapillary being the most common type. PVR ≥ 2.5 WU is associated with lower survival at 5-year follow-up.
