Despite ever-growing adoption of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in younger healthier patients, a limited number of studies have described post-TAVR valve reinterventions such as surgical explantation known as "TAVR explant".
We performed a systematic review to characterize the current state of TAVR explant in patients with a failing transcatheter heart valve (THV) using data published by April 30, 2024 in compliance with the PRISMA and MOOSE reporting guidelines. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024529188).
Twenty-eight studies met the eligibility criteria. Almost all studies were non-randomized, observational, and retrospective. The incidence of TAVR explant ranged from 0.2% to 2.8% in patients with a mean age of 67.3-79.0 years, and women representing 25.0-47.1% of cases. The mean time between TAVR implant and explant was 17.0-674.9 days, with most studies reporting a mean time <365 days. Whereas the Society of Thoracic Surgeons-Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) score at the time of the TAVR implant ranged between 2.6% and 7.7% (with only one study with score >5%), the STS-PROM score at the time of the TAVR explant ranged between 3.9% and 9.9% (with 17 studies with score >5%). Isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) happened in 16.2-100% of cases, aortic root replacement was required in 2.6-41.2%, ascending aortic replacement was performed in 3.2-33.3% of cases. Mitral valve repair/replacement was necessary in 11.8-43.5% and tricuspid valve/repair replacement was done in 2.8-25.0%. Stroke rates were between 0.0% and 20.0% with most studies with rates above 4.0%. The 30-day death rate ranged from 4.8% to 50.0% with most studies with mortality rates higher than 10%. Observed-to-expected mortality ratio was higher than 1.0 in almost all the studies that reported this variable.
TAVR explant remains a rare event, but its clinical impact is non-negligible. Lifetime management strategies should be adopted in younger lower-risk patients when choosing THVs for the index TAVR.
尽管经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)在更年轻、健康的患者中应用越来越广泛,但仅有少数研究描述了TAVR术后瓣膜再次干预,如称为“TAVR瓣膜取出术”的外科取出术。
我们进行了一项系统评价,以利用截至2024年4月30日发表的数据,按照PRISMA和MOOSE报告指南,描述经导管心脏瓣膜(THV)功能衰竭患者中TAVR瓣膜取出术的现状。该方案已在PROSPERO(CRD42024529188)中注册。
28项研究符合纳入标准。几乎所有研究都是非随机、观察性和回顾性的。TAVR瓣膜取出术的发生率在平均年龄为67.3 - 79.0岁的患者中为0.2%至2.8%,女性占病例的25.0%至47.1%。TAVR植入与取出之间的平均时间为17.0 - 674.9天,大多数研究报告的平均时间<365天。TAVR植入时胸外科医师协会预测死亡率(STS - PROM)评分在2.6%至7.7%之间(只有一项研究评分>5%),而TAVR取出时STS - PROM评分在3.9%至9.9%之间(17项研究评分>5%)。16.2%至100%的病例进行了单纯外科主动脉瓣置换(SAVR),2.6%至41.2%需要进行主动脉根部置换,3.2%至33.3%的病例进行了升主动脉置换。二尖瓣修复/置换在11.8%至43.5%的病例中是必要的,三尖瓣修复/置换在2.8%至25.0%的病例中进行。卒中发生率在0.0%至20.0%之间,大多数研究发生率高于4.0%。30天死亡率在4.8%至50.0%之间,大多数研究死亡率高于10%。几乎所有报告该变量的研究中,观察到的与预期的死亡率之比均高于1.0。
TAVR瓣膜取出术仍然是一种罕见事件,但其临床影响不可忽视。在为初次TAVR选择THV时,对于年轻、低风险患者应采用终身管理策略。
