Hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) detected on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is considered leaflet thrombosis. However, its impact on long-term clinical outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of early HALT detection after TAVI on long-term clinical outcomes and structural valve deterioration beyond 6 years.
Of the 672 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI between 2013 and 2018, 448 were treated with either SAPIEN XT or SAPIEN 3 and underwent MDCT analysis within 30 days after TAVI. MDCT results and echocardiographic data were analyzed annually.
HALT was detected in 68 (15.2%) of 448 eligible patients within 30 days after TAVI. No significant difference in effective orifice area was observed by echocardiography within 30 days after TAVI between the HALT and the non-HALT groups in SAPIEN XT (HALT vs. non-HALT: 1.62 ± 0.66 cm vs. 1.72 ± 0.43 cm; p = 0.26) and in SAPIEN 3 (1.42 ± 0.35 cm vs. 1.45 ± 0.34 cm; p = 0.63). No significant differences in all-cause mortality (52.9% vs. 60.0%; hazard ratio (HR): 1.19; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.83-1.70; p = 0.3), stroke incidence (5.9% vs. 7.1%; HR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.08-13.7; p = 0.97), heart failure rehospitalization (10.3% vs. 15.0%; HR: 2.3; 95% CI: 0.89-5.99; p = 0.09), and structural valve deterioration (14.7% vs. 17.9%; HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.45-1.73; p = 0.73) were observed between the HALT and the non-HALT groups during the median follow-up of 1872 (interquartile range; 1203-2468) days.
HALT within 30 days was not associated with clinical outcomes or hemodynamic performance during long-term follow-up.
在多排螺旋计算机断层扫描(MDCT)上检测到的经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)后瓣叶低密度增厚(HALT)被认为是瓣叶血栓形成。然而,其对长期临床结局的影响仍不明确。本研究旨在调查TAVI后早期检测到HALT对6年以上长期临床结局和瓣膜结构恶化的影响。
在2013年至2018年间连续接受TAVI的672例患者中,448例接受了SAPIEN XT或SAPIEN 3治疗,并在TAVI后30天内接受了MDCT分析。每年分析MDCT结果和超声心动图数据。
448例符合条件的患者中,68例(15.2%)在TAVI后30天内检测到HALT。在SAPIEN XT组中,TAVI后30天内HALT组和非HALT组之间通过超声心动图观察到的有效瓣口面积无显著差异(HALT组 vs. 非HALT组:1.62±0.66 cm vs. 1.72±0.43 cm;p = 0.26),SAPIEN 3组中也无显著差异(1.42±0.35 cm vs. 1.45±0.34 cm;p = 0.63)。在1872天(四分位间距;1203 - 2468天)的中位随访期间,HALT组和非HALT组在全因死亡率(52.9% vs. 60.0%;风险比(HR):1.19;95%置信区间(CI):0.83 - 1.70;p = 0.3)、中风发生率(5.9% vs. 7.1%;HR:1.06;95% CI:0.08 - 13.7;p = 0.97)、心力衰竭再住院率(10.3% vs. 15.0%;HR:2.3;95% CI:0.89 - 5.99;p = 0.09)和瓣膜结构恶化(14.7% vs. 17.9%;HR:0.89;95% CI:0.45 - 1.73;p = 0.73)方面均未观察到显著差异。
30天内的HALT与长期随访期间的临床结局或血流动力学表现无关。
