Safety of Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Patients With Moderate to Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dobutamine and adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is relatively contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe aortic valve stenosis (AS). We aimed to determine the safety of dobutamine and adenosine stress CMR in patients with moderate to severe AS.

Methods

In this retrospective study patients with AS who underwent either dobutamine or adenosine stress CMR for exclusion of obstructive coronary artery disease were enrolled. We recorded clinical data, CMR and echocardiography findings, and complications as well as minor symptoms. Patients with AS were compared to matched individuals without AS.

Results

A total of 187 patients with AS were identified and compared to age-, gender- and body mass index-matched 187 patients without AS. No severe complications were reported in the study nor the control group. The reported frequency of non-severe complications and minor symptoms were similar between the study and the control groups. Nineteen patients with AS experienced non-severe complications or minor symptoms during dobutamine stress CMR compared to eighteen patients without AS (p = 0.855). One patient with AS and two patients without AS undergoing adenosine stress CMR experienced minor symptoms (p = 0.562). Four examinations were aborted because of chest pain, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and third-degree atrioventricular block. Inducible ischaemia, prior coronary artery bypass grafting, prior stroke and age were associated with a higher incidence of complications and minor symptoms.

Conclusions

Moderate to severe AS was not associated with complications during CMR stress test. The incidence of non-severe complications and minor symptoms was greater with dobutamine.

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:Decisions in the management of aortic stenosis are based on the peak pressure drop, captured by Doppler echocardiography, whereas gold standard catheterization measurements assess the net pressure drop but are limited by associated risks. The relationship between these two measurements, peak and net pressure drop, is dictated by the pressure recovery along the ascending aorta which is mainly caused by turbulence energy dissipation. Currently, pressure recovery is considered to occur within the first 40-50 mm distally from the aortic valve, albeit there is inconsistency across interventionist centers on where/how to position the catheter to capture the net pressure drop. We developed a non-invasive method to assess the pressure recovery distance based on blood flow momentum via 4D Flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Multi-center acquisitions included physical flow phantoms with different stenotic valve configurations to validate this method, first against reference measurements and then against turbulent energy dissipation (respectively n = 8 and n = 28 acquisitions) and to investigate the relationship between peak and net pressure drops. Finally, we explored the potential errors of cardiac catheterisation pressure recordings as a result of neglecting the pressure recovery distance in a clinical bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) cohort of n = 32 patients. In-vitro assessment of pressure recovery distance based on flow momentum achieved an average error of 1.8 ± 8.4 mm when compared to reference pressure sensors in the first phantom workbench. The momentum pressure recovery distance and the turbulent energy dissipation distance showed no statistical difference (mean difference of 2.8 ± 5.4 mm, R2 = 0.93) in the second phantom workbench. A linear correlation was observed between peak and net pressure drops, however, with strong dependences on the valvular morphology. Finally, in the BAV cohort the pressure recovery distance was 78.8 ± 34.3 mm from vena contracta, which is significantly longer than currently accepted in clinical practise (40-50 mm), and 37.5% of patients displayed a pressure recovery distance beyond the end of the ascending aorta. The non-invasive assessment of the distance to pressure recovery is possible by tracking momentum via 4D Flow CMR. Recovery is not always complete at the ascending aorta, and catheterised recordings will overestimate the net pressure drop in those situations. There is a need to re-evaluate the methods that characterise the haemodynamic burden caused by aortic stenosis as currently clinically accepted pressure recovery distance is an underestimation.
