Predictors of Procedural Success in Patients With Degenerated Surgical Valves Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve-in-Valve Implantation.

ABSTRACT: Background: Valve-in-Valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) is a growing alternative for redo-surgery in patients with degenerated surgical valves. To our knowledge, data are lacking on the determinants on ViV-TAVI procedural success in patients with degenerated surgical valves. Methods: All consecutive patients undergoing ViV-TAVI for degenerated surgical valves at the Cleveland Clinic were analyzed. Data were extracted from our patient registry on baseline patient characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, and procedural details. To identify possible predictors of ViV-TAVI procedural success, we employed a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: A total of 186 patients who underwent ViV-TAVI were analyzed, with procedural success (VARC-2 device success and absence of periprocedural MACCE) reported in 165 (88.7%) patients. Patients with successful ViV-TAVI were significantly younger and had more frequent utilization of the transfemoral access than those with failed procedure. Other baseline and procedural characteristics were comparable between both groups. In terms of echocardiographic parameters, the procedural success group had a significantly lower AV peak pressure gradient (62.1 ± 24.7 vs. 74.1 ± 34.6 mmHg; p = 0.04) and lower incidence of moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation [AR] (30.4 vs. 55%; p = 0.04). However, no significant differences between both groups were noted in terms of AV mean pressure gradient and left ventricular measurements. In multivariate analysis, lower AV peak pressure gradient (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95-0.99) and absence of moderate-to-severe AR (OR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.44-0.95) at baseline emerged as independent predictors of ViV-TAVI procedural success. Conclusion: Valve-in-Valve TAVI for degenerated surgical valves is a feasible approach with high success rates, especially in those with lower AV peak pressure gradient and absence of moderate-to-severe AR. Studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up are required to further characterize the predictors of ViV-TAVI success and other clinical outcomes.

Project description:AimsTo evaluate the patient- and procedure-related predictors of transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI)-associated ischemic brain lesions and to assess the effect of silent cerebral ischemic lesions (SCIL) on neurocognitive function.Methods and resultsWe investigated 113 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within a week following TAVI. To assess periprocedural cerebral ischemic lesions, diffusion-weighted MRI was utilized. We used multivariate linear regression to identify the independent predictors of TAVI-related ischemic lesion volume (ILV) and periprocedural stroke. Neurocognitive evaluation was performed before and following TAVI at 6-month and one-year follow-up. Following TAVI, a total of 944 new cerebral ischemic lesions were detected in 104 patients (92%). The median ILV was 257 μl (interquartile range [IQR]:97.1-718.8μl) with a median lesion number of 6/patient [IQR:2-10]. The majority of ischemic lesions were clinically silent (95%), while 5% of the lesions induced a stroke, which was confirmed by MRI. Predilatation (β = 1.13[95%CI:0.32-1.93], p = 0.01) and the number of valve positioning attempts during implantation (β = 0.28[95%CI:0.06-0.50], p = 0.02) increased the log-transformed total ILV. Predilatation (OR = 12.04[95%CI:1.46-99.07], p = 0.02) and alternative access routes (OR = 7.84[95%CI:1.01-61.07], p = 0.02) were associated with stroke after adjustments for comorbidities and periprocedural factors. The presence of SCILs were not associated with a change in neurocognitive function that remained stable during the one-year follow-up.ConclusionWhile periprocedural ischemic lesions are frequent, most of them are clinically silent and might not impact the patients' neurocognitive function. The number of valve positioning attempts, predilatation, and alternative access routes should be taken into consideration during TAVI to reduce the ILV and risk for stroke.

Project description:Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement with supra-annular transcatheter heart valves has been adopted in patients with degenerated surgical aortic valves. The next generation self-expanding Evolut PRO valve has not been evaluated in patients with surgical valve failure. Methods and Results Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement in degenerated surgical aortic valve procedures using the Evolut R or Evolut PRO transcatheter heart valves in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry between April 2015 and June 2019 were evaluated. Transcatheter valve performance was evaluated by clinical site echocardiography. In-hospital, 30-day, and 1-year clinical outcomes were based on the Society of Thoracic Surgeons-American College of Cardiology-Transcatheter Valve Therapy registry definitions. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in degenerated surgical aortic valve was performed in 5897 patients (5061 [85.8%] patients received the Evolut R valve and 836 [14.2%] received the Evolut PRO valve). Thirty-day transcatheter heart valves hemodynamic performance was excellent in both groups (mean gradient: Evolut PRO: 13.8±7.5 mm Hg; Evolut R: 14.5±8.1 mm Hg), while paravalvular regurgitation was significantly different between valve types (P=0.02). Clinical events were low at 30 days (Evolut PRO: for the all-cause mortality, 2.8%, any stroke was 1.8%, new pacemaker implantation, 3.0%: Evolut R:all-cause mortality, 2.5%, any stroke was 2.2%, new pacemaker implantation, 5.3%) and 1 year (Evolut PRO: all-cause mortality, 9.2%; any stroke, 3.1%; Evolut R: all-cause mortality, 9.8%; any stroke, 2.9%). Conclusions Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in degenerated surgical aortic valve with self-expandable supra-annular transcatheter heart valves is associated with excellent clinical outcomes and valve hemodynamics. Additional reductions in residual paravalvular regurgitation were obtained with the next generation Evolut PRO.
