To determine the safety and performance of the SAPIEN XT transcatheter heart valve (THV) in Australian patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and intermediate surgical risk.
Eligible patients in this multi-centre, prospective, consecutively enrolled, non-randomised, clinical trial, received transcatheter aortic valve replacement via femoral artery access. Follow-up visits were at discharge, 30 days, and 6, 12, and 24 months. The primary endpoint was Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 composite safety at 30 days: all-cause mortality, all stroke, life-threatening bleeding, acute kidney injury-Stage 3, coronary artery obstruction requiring intervention, major vascular complication, and valve-related dysfunction requiring repeat procedure. Other endpoints were device success (successful vascular access, delivery, and deployment; correct position; intended performance mean aortic valve gradient <20 mmHg, mild or less paravalvular aortic regurgitation [PAR]; and only one valve implanted) and New York Heart Association functional class (NYHA). Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates were calculated for the primary endpoint.
At baseline, mean patient (N=199) age was 85.5 years, mean Society of Thoracic Surgeon score was 5.9, and 78.4% were in NYHA class III/IV. The primary composite endpoint KM estimate was 12.1%. Device success was 88.8%. SAPIEN XT was implanted in the proper location in 98.5% (n=2: valve-in-valve procedures, n=1: no implant due to left main coronary artery occlusion). No device malfunctions were reported. The post procedure PAR was mild or less in 93.8% of patients. Mean aortic gradient decreased from baseline (50.0 mmHg) to 2 years (10.3 mmHg). Most patients (90.9%) were in NYHA class I/II at 30 days. New permanent pacemaker rate was 8.1%. Stroke at 30 days was 3.5% (1.5% disabling).
SAPIEN XT was safe and improved heart failure symptoms and valve haemodynamics in this cohort of Australian patients.
为了确定经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)在澳大利亚患有严重主动脉瓣狭窄(AS)和中等手术风险的患者中的安全性和性能。
这项多中心、前瞻性、连续入组、非随机的临床试验中,符合条件的患者经股动脉入路接受了 TAVR。随访时间为出院时、30 天、6 个月、12 个月和 24 个月。主要终点是 30 天的 Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 复合安全性:全因死亡率、全脑卒、有生命危险的出血、急性肾损伤 3 期、需要介入治疗的冠状动脉阻塞、主要血管并发症和需要再次手术的瓣膜相关功能障碍。其他终点包括器械成功率(成功的血管入路、输送和部署;正确的位置;预期性能平均主动脉瓣梯度<20mmHg,轻度或更少的瓣周漏;仅植入一个瓣膜)和纽约心脏协会功能分级(NYHA)。主要终点的 Kaplan-Meier(KM)估计值。
在基线时,平均患者(N=199)年龄为 85.5 岁,平均胸外科医师协会评分(STS)为 5.9,78.4%为 NYHA 分级 III/IV 级。主要复合终点的 KM 估计值为 12.1%。器械成功率为 88.8%。SAPIEN XT 正确植入位置,98.5%(n=2:瓣中瓣术,n=1:因左主干冠状动脉闭塞未植入)。无器械功能障碍报告。术后 PAR 为轻度或更少,93.8%的患者。平均主动脉梯度从基线(50.0mmHg)下降至 2 年(10.3mmHg)。大多数患者(90.9%)在 30 天内 NYHA 分级为 I/II。新的永久性起搏器植入率为 8.1%。30 天内卒中发生率为 3.5%(1.5%为致残性)。
在这组澳大利亚患者中,SAPIEN XT 是安全的,并改善了心力衰竭症状和瓣膜血流动力学。
