Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an option when a surgical valve demonstrates deterioration and dysfunction. This study reports 3-year results following valve-in-valve with self-expanding TAVR.
The CoreValve US Expanded Use Study is a prospective, nonrandomized, single-arm study that evaluates safety and effectiveness of TAVR in extreme risk patients with symptomatic failed surgical biologic aortic valves. Study end points include all-cause mortality, need for valve reintervention, hemodynamic changes over time, and quality of life through 3 years. Patients were stratified by presence of preexisting surgical valve prosthesis-patient mismatch.
From March 2013 to May 2015, 226 patients deemed extreme risk (STS-PROM [Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality] 9.0±7%) had attempted valve-in-valve TAVR. Preexisting surgical valve prosthesis-patient mismatch was present in 47.2% of the cohort. At 3 years, all-cause mortality or major stroke was 28.6%, and 93% of patients were in New York Heart Association I or II heart failure. Valve performance was maintained over 3 years with low valve reintervention rates (4.4%), an improvement in effective orifice area over time and a 2.7% rate of severe structural valve deterioration. Preexisting severe prosthesis-patient mismatch was not associated with 3-year mortality but was associated with significantly less improvement in quality of life at 3-year follow-up (=0.01).
Self-expanding TAVR in patients with failed surgical bioprostheses at extreme risk for surgery was associated with durable hemodynamics and excellent clinical outcomes. Preexisting surgical valve prosthesis-patient mismatch was not associated with mortality but did limit patient improvement in quality of life over 3-year follow-up.

当外科瓣膜出现恶化和功能障碍时,经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)是一种选择。本研究报告了经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)后 3 年的结果。
CoreValve US 扩展使用研究是一项前瞻性、非随机、单臂研究,评估了 TAVR 在极危手术生物瓣主动脉瓣失败患者中的安全性和有效性。研究终点包括 3 年内全因死亡率、需要再次瓣膜介入治疗、随时间变化的血流动力学变化和生活质量。根据是否存在先前的外科瓣膜假体-患者不匹配情况对患者进行分层。
2013 年 3 月至 2015 年 5 月,226 名被认为极危的患者(STS-PROM [胸外科医生预测死亡率] 9.0±7%)接受了经导管主动脉瓣置换术。该队列中 47.2%的患者存在先前的外科瓣膜假体-患者不匹配。3 年时,全因死亡率或主要卒中发生率为 28.6%,93%的患者为纽约心脏协会(NYHA)心功能 I 或 II 级心力衰竭。3 年内瓣膜性能保持稳定,瓣膜再介入率低(4.4%),有效瓣口面积随时间逐渐增加,严重结构性瓣膜恶化率为 2.7%。先前存在严重的假体-患者不匹配与 3 年死亡率无关,但与 3 年随访时生活质量的改善明显较少相关(=0.01)。
在外科生物瓣失败且手术风险极高的患者中,自膨式 TAVR 与持久的血流动力学和良好的临床结果相关。先前存在的外科瓣膜假体-患者不匹配与死亡率无关,但确实限制了患者在 3 年随访期间生活质量的改善。
