This study aimed to determine the success, complications, and survival of patients after balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV).
The introduction of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) BAV has led to a revival in the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis.
A cohort of 262 patients with severe aortic stenosis underwent 301 BAV procedures. Of these, 39 (14.8%) patients had ≥2 BAV procedures. Clinical, hemodynamic, and follow-up mortality data were collected.
The cohort mean age was 81.7 ± 9.8 years, and the mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons and logistic EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) was 13.3 ± 6.7 and 45.6 ± 21.6, respectively. BAV was performed as a bridge to TAVI or to surgical aortic valve replacement in 28 patients (10.6%) and for symptom relief in 234 (89.4%). The mean aortic valve area (AVA) increased from 0.58 ± 0.3 cm(2) to 0.96 ± 0.3 cm(2) (p < 0.001). Of these, 111 (45.0%) had final AVA >1 cm(2), and in 195 patients (79%), AVA increased by >40%. De novo BAV resulted in a higher mean increase in AVA 0.41 ± 0.24 cm(2) versus 0.28 ± 0.24 cm(2) in redo BAV (p = 0.003). Serious adverse events occurred in 47 patients (15.6%), intraprocedural death in 5 (1.6%), stroke in 6 (1.99%), coronary occlusion in 2 (0.66%), severe aortic regurgitation in 4 (1.3%), resuscitation/cardioversion in 5 (1.6%), tamponade in 1 (0.33%), and permanent pacemaker in 3 (0.99%). A vascular complication occurred in 21 patients (6.9%); 34 (11.3%) had a post-procedure rise in creatinine >50%; and 3 (0.99%) required hemodialysis. During median follow-up of 181 days, the mortality rate was 50% (n = 131). The mortality rate in the group with final AVA >1 cm(2) was significantly lower than in the group with final AVA of <1 cm(2) (36.4% vs. 57.9%, p < 0.001). Final AVA was associated with lower mortality (hazard ratio: 0.46, p = 0.03). BAV as a bridge to TAVI or surgical aortic valve replacement had a better outcome compared with BAV alone: mortality rate 7 (25%) versus 124 (52.9%), respectively (p < 0.0001).
Long-term survival is poor after BAV alone. BAV as a bridge to percutaneous or surgical aortic valve replacement is feasible, safe, and associated with better outcome than BAV alone.
本研究旨在确定球囊主动脉瓣成形术(BAV)后患者的成功率、并发症和存活率。
经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)的引入导致了严重主动脉瓣狭窄患者治疗的复兴。
一组 262 名严重主动脉瓣狭窄患者接受了 301 次 BAV 手术。其中,39 名(14.8%)患者接受了≥2 次 BAV 手术。收集了临床、血液动力学和随访死亡率数据。
该队列的平均年龄为 81.7±9.8 岁,平均胸外科医师协会和逻辑欧洲心脏手术风险评估(EuroSCORE)分别为 13.3±6.7 和 45.6±21.6。28 名患者(10.6%)进行 BAV 作为 TAVI 或外科主动脉瓣置换的桥接治疗,234 名患者(89.4%)进行 BAV 以缓解症状。主动脉瓣口面积(AVA)从 0.58±0.3cm2 增加到 0.96±0.3cm2(p<0.001)。其中,111 名(45.0%)最终 AVA>1cm2,195 名患者(79%)AVA 增加>40%。新的 BAV 导致平均 AVA 增加 0.41±0.24cm2,而再次 BAV 导致平均 AVA 增加 0.28±0.24cm2(p=0.003)。47 名患者(15.6%)发生严重不良事件,5 名(1.6%)术中死亡,6 名(1.99%)发生中风,2 名(0.66%)发生冠状动脉闭塞,4 名(1.3%)发生严重主动脉瓣反流,5 名(1.6%)需要复苏/电复律,1 名(0.33%)发生心脏压塞,3 名(0.99%)需要永久性起搏器。21 名患者(6.9%)发生血管并发症;34 名患者(11.3%)术后肌酐升高>50%;3 名患者(0.99%)需要血液透析。在中位数为 181 天的随访期间,死亡率为 50%(n=131)。最终 AVA>1cm2 的患者死亡率明显低于最终 AVA<1cm2 的患者(36.4%比 57.9%,p<0.001)。最终 AVA 与较低的死亡率相关(风险比:0.46,p=0.03)。BAV 作为 TAVI 或外科主动脉瓣置换的桥接治疗与单独 BAV 相比具有更好的结局:死亡率分别为 7(25%)和 124(52.9%)(p<0.0001)。
单独进行 BAV 后长期生存率较差。BAV 作为经皮或外科主动脉瓣置换的桥接是可行的、安全的,与单独 BAV 相比,具有更好的结局。
