The aim of this study was to report the predictors and clinical impact of transcatheter heart valve (THV) thrombosis in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI).
We included 130 patients who consecutively underwent TMVI. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) and/or computed tomography (CT) were performed in 91.7% of patients at discharge, in 73.3% at three months and in 72% beyond three months. THV thrombosis was defined as the presence of at least one thickened leaflet with restricted motion confirmed by TOE or contrast CT and classified as immediate, early, or late according to the timing of diagnosis. THV thrombosis was observed in 16 (12.3%) patients: immediate in 43.7%, early in 37.5% and late in 18.8%. Most of these thromboses were subclinical (93.7%) and non-obstructive (87.5%). No thromboembolic event occurred. After optimisation of antithrombotic treatment, THV thromboses resolved in all but one patient. Predictors were shock for immediate (p<0.001), male sex for early (p=0.045) and absence of anticoagulation for both early (p=0.018) and late (p=0.023) THV thromboses.
THV thrombosis is frequent after TMVI, occurs mainly within the first three months, is mostly subclinical and resolves after optimisation of antithrombotic treatment. An anticoagulation therapy for at least three months after the procedure is mandatory.
本研究旨在报告行经导管二尖瓣置换术(TMVI)患者发生经导管心脏瓣膜(THV)血栓的预测因素和临床影响。
我们纳入了 130 例连续接受 TMVI 的患者。91.7%的患者在出院时、73.3%的患者在三个月时和 72%的患者在三个月后进行经食管超声心动图(TOE)和/或计算机断层扫描(CT)。THV 血栓形成定义为至少有一个增厚的瓣叶,运动受限,通过 TOE 或对比 CT 证实,并根据诊断时间分为即刻、早期或晚期。16 例(12.3%)患者发生 THV 血栓形成:即刻占 43.7%,早期占 37.5%,晚期占 18.8%。这些血栓大多数为亚临床(93.7%)和非阻塞性(87.5%)。没有发生血栓栓塞事件。在优化抗血栓治疗后,除 1 例患者外,所有患者的 THV 血栓均得到解决。即刻血栓形成的预测因素为休克(p<0.001),早期血栓形成的预测因素为男性(p=0.045),早期和晚期血栓形成均无抗凝治疗(p=0.018 和 p=0.023)。
TMVI 后 THV 血栓形成较为常见,主要发生在最初的三个月内,大多数为亚临床,经优化抗血栓治疗后可得到解决。术后至少进行三个月的抗凝治疗是强制性的。
