Efficacy and Safety of Emergent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients with Acute Decompensated Aortic Stenosis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the efficacy and safety of emergent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with decompensated aortic stenosis (AS) by comparing the clinical outcomes with the patients who had received the elective TAVI.

Methods

By searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases, we obtained the studies comparing the clinical outcomes of emergent TAVI and elective TAVI. Finally, 14 studies were included.

Results

A total of 14 eligible articles with 73,484 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Emergent TAVI was associated with a higher mortality during hospitalization (HR 2.09, 95% CI [1.39 to 3.14]), 30 days (HR 2.29, 95% CI [1.69 to 3.10]), and 1 year (HR 1.96, 95% CI [1.55 to 2.49]). Consistently, the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) (RR 2.48, 95% CI [1.85 to 3.32]), dialysis (RR 2.37, 95% CI [1.95 to 2.88]), bleeding (RR 1.62, 95% CI [1.27 to 2.08]), major bleeding (RR 1.05, 95% CI [1.00 to 1.10]), and 30-day rehospitalization (RR 1.30, 95% CI [1.07, 1.58]) were more common in patients receiving emergent TAVI. No statistical differences were found in the occurrence rate of vascular complications (RR 1.11, 95% CI [0.90, 1.36]), major vascular complications (RR 1.14, 95% CI [0.52, 2.52]), permanent pacemaker (PPM) placement (RR 1.05, 95% CI [0.99, 1.11]), cerebrovascular events (RR 1.11, 95% CI [0.98, 1.25]), moderate to severe paravalvular leakage (PVL) (RR 1.23, 95% [CI 0.94 to 1.61]), and device success (RR 0.99, 95% CI [0.97, 1.01]).

Conclusion

Emergent TAVI is associated with some postoperative complications and increased mortality compared with elective TAVI. Emergent TAVI should be implemented cautiously and individually.

Project description:BackgroundBicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is common congenital malformation, bicuspid aortic stenosis accounts for a substantial proportion of patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS). Bicuspid AS are more likely to have aortic dilatation with slightly less elliptical annuli, which might lead to paravalvular aortic valve regurgitation (AR) and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPM) after TAVI with higher mortality. Our study aims to understand the therapeutic efficacy and safety of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with a supra-annular structure-based sizing strategy in Chinese AS patients with BAV versus tricuspid aortic valve (TAV).MethodsSeventy-four consecutive tricuspid AS patients and 44 bicuspid AS patients were included and enrolled in the study for analysis. Both groups underwent TAVI performed using balloon sizing less than mild paravalvular AR to assess the proper prosthesis size. The myocardial function within 1 year postoperative were sequentially evaluated using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, and echocardiography measurements. The incidence rates of complications at 30 days and 1 year were analyzed. During the 1-year follow-up, the time of death from any cause or complications in both groups was recorded.ResultsThe study found that the percentage of patients with class III-IV of NYHA dropped after TAVI in both groups, and no significant difference between both groups at 1 year. Compared with the tricuspid AS group patients, Bicuspid group patients had more improvement in mean aortic valve gradient from baseline to 1year (-47.47±13.38 vs. -50.22±19.25 mmHg, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in 30-day and one-year compliance outcomes except a lower incidence of AR at post-procedure and 30 days in the tricuspid AS group as the Bicuspid AS group. There were no statistically significant differences in the time of death from any cause or significant complications between groups.ConclusionsTAVI has acceptable therapeutic efficacy and safety and is feasible for AS patients with BAV in China.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is criticized by some as an expensive treatment in super-elder patients with limited life expectancy. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the magnitude of clinical benefit provided by TAVI in comparison with conservative management in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) in real clinical practice, which would be important in the decision making for TAVI. METHODS:We combined two independent registries, namely CURRENT AS and K-TAVI registries. CURRENT AS was a multicenter registry enrolling 3815 consecutive patients with severe AS irrespective to treatment modalities between January 2003 and December 2011. K-TAVI was a multicenter, prospective registry including 449 consecutive patients with severe AS, who underwent TAVI with SAPIEN XT balloon-expandable valves between October 2013 and June 2016. In these 2 registries, 449 patients received TAVI and 894 patients were managed with conservative strategy. We conducted propensity score matching and finally obtained a cohort of 556 patients (278 patients for each group) for the analysis. The primary outcome measures were all-cause death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization at 2-year. RESULTS:The cumulative 2-year incidences of all-cause death and HF hospitalization were significantly lower in the TAVI group than in the conservative group (16.8% versus 36.6%, P<0.001, and 10.7% versus 37.2%, P<0.001). After adjusting the residual confounders, TAVI reduced the risks of all-cause death (HR, 0.46; 95%CI, 0.32-0.69; P = 0.0001) and HF hospitalizations (HR, 0.25; 95%CI, 0.16-0.40; P<0.0001) compared with conservative strategy. There was no difference in the cumulative incidence of non-cardiovascular death between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:TAVI in the early Japanese experience was associated with striking risk reduction for all-cause death as well as HF hospitalization as compared with the historical cohort of patients with severe AS who were managed conservatively just before introduction of TAVI in Japan.
