This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transfemoral (TF)-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in low-risk aortic stenosis (AS) patients.
A total of 696 low-risk (Society of Thoracic Surgeons score <4%) AS patients underwent isolated SAVR or TF-TAVR at five centers. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 159 pairs were identified. Early and follow-up events, including cardiac mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE: all-cause mortality, heart failure admission, reoperation, prosthetic valve endocarditis, and stroke), were compared.
Baseline characteristics are similar between the matched groups. There were no 30-day cardiac mortalities in either group. All-cause mortality and MACCE at 30 days did not differ. During 5-year follow-up (median 3.1 [range 0-7.2] years), the incidence of cardiac mortality (1.3% vs. 18.9%; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 8.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.68-29.53; P <0.001), all-cause mortality (4.2% vs. 33.9%; aHR, 8.56; 95% CI, 3.41-21.45; P <0.001), and MACCE (25.1% vs. 47.0%; aHR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.54-3.63; P <0.001) were lower in the SAVR group than in the TAVR group.
Isolated SAVR demonstrated better outcomes in low-risk AS patients. TAVR in this subset should be chosen carefully.
本研究旨在比较低危主动脉瓣狭窄(AS)患者行单纯外科主动脉瓣置换术(SAVR)与经股(TF)-经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)的临床结局。
共有 696 例低危(胸外科医师学会评分<4%)AS 患者在五家中心行单纯 SAVR 或 TF-TAVR。经 1:1 倾向评分匹配后,共匹配了 159 对。比较早期和随访事件,包括心源性死亡和主要心脏和脑血管不良事件(MACCE:全因死亡率、心力衰竭入院、再次手术、人工瓣膜心内膜炎和中风)。
匹配组的基线特征相似。两组均无 30 天心源性死亡。全因死亡率和 30 天 MACCE 无差异。5 年随访期间(中位数 3.1[范围 0-7.2]年),SAVR 组的心脏死亡率(1.3% vs. 18.9%;调整后的风险比[aHR],8.89;95%置信区间[CI],2.68-29.53;P<0.001)、全因死亡率(4.2% vs. 33.9%;aHR,8.56;95%CI,3.41-21.45;P<0.001)和 MACCE(25.1% vs. 47.0%;aHR,2.36;95%CI,1.54-3.63;P<0.001)均低于 TAVR 组。
单纯 SAVR 为低危 AS 患者带来更好的结局。在这部分患者中,TAVR 应谨慎选择。
