Controversial data exist on clinical outcomes of patients with paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (PLF-LG-AS) undergoing valve replacement. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes and treatment futility in patients with paradoxical low-flow (PLF), low-gradient (LG) severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). A total of 493 patients with severe symptomatic AS and preserved ejection fraction (>50%) undergoing TAVI were included. Patients were divided in two groups: high gradient AS group (HG-AS; mean gradient ≥40 mm Hg and stroke volume index >35 ml/m, n = 396); and PLF, LG AS group (PLF-LG-AS; mean AV gradient <40 mm Hg and indexed stroke volume ≤35 ml/m, n = 97). The primary endpoint was treatment futility defined as death or poor functional status (New York Heart Association class III and/or IV) at 6-month follow-up. There were no differences in mortality between groups (PLF-LG-AS: 5%, HG: 8%; adjusted odds ratio (OR): 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI):0.29 to 2.46), but PLF-LG-AS patients remained more frequently in New York Heart Association class III to IV (20% vs 8% in the HG group, adjusted OR: 2.46, 95% CI:1.19 to 5.07). TAVI treatment futility was more frequent in the PLF-LG-AS group (24% vs 14%, adjusted OR: 1.90 [1.01 to 3.57]), and patients with PLF-LG-AS exhibited a higher rate of rehospitalization for cardiovascular causes (9% vs 5%, adjusted OR: 2.95, 95% CI:1.08 to 8.09). Previous myocardial infarction and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were associated with treatment futility (p< 0.03 for both). In conclusion, TAVI was a futile treatment in one fourth of patients with PLF-LG-AS. These results underscore the complexity and need for improving the clinical decision-making process and management of patients with PLF-LG-AS.
关于矛盾性低流量、低跨瓣压差主动脉瓣狭窄(PLF-LG-AS)患者接受瓣膜置换术的临床结局存在争议性数据。本研究的目的是确定接受经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)的矛盾性低流量(PLF)、低跨瓣压差(LG)重度主动脉瓣狭窄(AS)患者的临床结局和治疗无效情况。总共纳入了493例接受TAVI且射血分数保留(>50%)的重度有症状AS患者。患者被分为两组:高跨瓣压差AS组(HG-AS;平均跨瓣压差≥40 mmHg且每平方米体表面积的 stroke volume指数>35 ml/m,n = 396);以及PLF、LG AS组(PLF-LG-AS;平均主动脉瓣跨瓣压差<40 mmHg且每平方米体表面积的 stroke volume指数≤35 ml/m,n = 97)。主要终点是治疗无效,定义为在6个月随访时死亡或功能状态不佳(纽约心脏协会III级和/或IV级)。两组之间的死亡率无差异(PLF-LG-AS组:5%,HG组:8%;校正比值比(OR):0.85,95%置信区间(CI):0.29至2.46),但PLF-LG-AS患者更频繁地处于纽约心脏协会III至IV级(HG组为8%,PLF-LG-AS组为20%,校正OR:2.46,95% CI:1.19至5.07)。PLF-LG-AS组的TAVI治疗无效情况更常见(24%对14%,校正OR:1.90 [1.01至3.57]),并且PLF-LG-AS患者因心血管原因再次住院的发生率更高(9%对5%,校正OR:2.95,95% CI:1.08至8.09)。既往心肌梗死和慢性阻塞性肺疾病与治疗无效相关(两者p<0.03)。总之,对于四分之一的PLF-LG-AS患者,TAVI是无效治疗。这些结果强调了PLF-LG-AS患者临床决策过程和管理的复杂性以及改进的必要性。
