BACKGROUND: Scarce data exist on the incidence of and factors associated with valve hemodynamic deterioration (VHD) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine the incidence, timing, and predictors of VHD in a large cohort of patients undergoing TAVR. METHODS: This multicenter registry included 1,521 patients (48% male; 80 ± 7 years of age) who underwent TAVR. Mean echocardiographic follow-up was 20 ± 13 months (minimum: 6 months). Echocardiographic examinations were performed at discharge, at 6 to 12 months, and yearly thereafter. Annualized changes in mean gradient (mm Hg/year) were calculated by dividing the difference between the mean gradient at last follow-up and the gradient at discharge by the time between examinations. VHD was defined as a ≥10 mm Hg increase in transprosthetic mean gradient during follow-up compared with discharge assessment. RESULTS: The overall mean annualized rate of transprosthetic gradient progression during follow-up was 0.30 ± 4.99 mm Hg/year. A total of 68 patients met criteria of VHD (incidence: 4.5% during follow-up). The absence of anticoagulation therapy at hospital discharge (p = 0.002), a valve-in-valve (TAVR in a surgical valve) procedure (p = 0.032), the use of a 23-mm valve (p = 0.016), and a greater body mass index (p = 0.001) were independent predictors of VHD. CONCLUSIONS: There was a mild but significant increase in transvalvular gradients over time after TAVR. The lack of anticoagulation therapy, a valve-in-valve procedure, a greater body mass index, and the use of a 23-mm transcatheter valve were associated with higher rates of VHD post-TAVR. Further prospective studies are required to determine whether a specific antithrombotic therapy post-TAVR may reduce the risk of VHD.
背景:经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)后瓣膜血流动力学恶化(VHD)的发生率和相关因素的数据很少。
目的:本研究旨在确定在接受 TAVR 的大样本患者中 VHD 的发生率、时间和预测因素。
方法:该多中心注册研究纳入了 1521 名患者(48%为男性;80±7 岁),他们接受了 TAVR。平均超声心动图随访时间为 20±13 个月(最短:6 个月)。在出院时、6 至 12 个月时以及此后每年进行超声心动图检查。通过将最后一次随访时的平均梯度与出院时的梯度之差除以两次检查之间的时间,计算平均梯度的年化变化(mmHg/年)。与出院评估相比,随访过程中跨瓣平均梯度增加≥10mmHg 定义为 VHD。
结果:在随访过程中,跨瓣梯度进展的总体平均年化率为 0.30±4.99mmHg/年。共有 68 名患者符合 VHD 的标准(发生率:随访期间为 4.5%)。出院时未进行抗凝治疗(p=0.002)、瓣中瓣(TAVR 在外科瓣中)手术(p=0.032)、使用 23mm 瓣膜(p=0.016)和更大的体重指数(p=0.001)是 VHD 的独立预测因素。
结论:TAVR 后跨瓣梯度随时间有轻度但显著的增加。TAVR 后缺乏抗凝治疗、瓣中瓣手术、更大的体重指数和使用 23mm 经导管瓣膜与 VHD 发生率较高相关。需要进一步的前瞻性研究来确定 TAVR 后是否特定的抗血栓治疗可能降低 VHD 的风险。
