Data comparing clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of bioprosthetic valve fracturing (BVF) and "standard"-postdilatation during valve-in-valve transcatheter heart valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) are lacking. The authors aimed to analyze hemodynamic and clinical outcomes of BVF compared to "standard"-postdilatation during ViV-TAVI.
The REDUCE registry included patients who underwent ViV-TAVI within a Perimount surgical aortic valve bioprosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences, USA). Procedures were categorized to no postdilatation, "standard"-postdilatation and BVF. Hemodynamic and clinical outcomes at 30 days were collected and compared. A linear regression model was built to predict mean aortic gradient after ViV-TAVI.
A total of 240 patients from six European sites were included. Median age was 78 years [IQR 70; 83], logistic EuroSCORE calculated 20.0%[IQR 12.2; 33.1] and 159 patients (66%) were male. One hundred fourty-four Perimount valves (60%) had a true internal diameter (ID) ≤ 21 mm. Self-expanding valves (SEV) and ballon-expandable valves (BEV) were used in 60% and 40% of cases, respectively. One hundred sixteen procedures (48%) were executed without postdilatation, in 88 procedures (37%) "standard"-postdilatation and in 36 procedures (15%) BVF was used. 30-day survival was 93.3%. VARC-3 device success at 30 days was 71%. A multivariable regression analysis of the mean aortic gradient after ViV-TAVI showed a significant association with surgical valve size (-0.84 mmHg, p = 0.001; per 1 mm surgical valve size increase), execution of postdilatation (-3.25 mmHg, p = 0.007) and type of transcatheter heart valve (SEV: -7.31 mmHg, p < 0.001).
When performing ViV-TAVI within a Perimount surgical aortic bioprosthesis with a true ID ≤ 21 mm, the hemodynamic valve performance is most optimal when implanting a SEV-TAV and when postdilating the TAV-in-SAV complex. BVF did not result in superior hemodynamics compared to "standard"-postdilatation.
缺乏关于生物瓣破裂(BVF)与经导管心脏瓣膜植入术(ViV-TAVI)中“标准”后扩张术的临床和血流动力学结果比较的数据。作者旨在分析ViV-TAVI期间BVF与“标准”后扩张术的血流动力学和临床结果。
REDUCE注册研究纳入了在Perimount外科主动脉瓣生物瓣(美国爱德华兹生命科学公司)内行ViV-TAVI的患者。手术分为无后扩张术、“标准”后扩张术和BVF。收集并比较30天时的血流动力学和临床结果。建立线性回归模型以预测ViV-TAVI后的平均主动脉瓣压差。
共纳入来自6个欧洲中心的240例患者。中位年龄为78岁[四分位间距70;83],逻辑EuroSCORE评分为20.0%[四分位间距12.2;33.1],159例患者(66%)为男性。144个Perimount瓣膜(60%)的实际内径(ID)≤21mm。分别有60%和40%的病例使用了自膨胀瓣膜(SEV)和球囊扩张瓣膜(BEV)。116例手术(48%)未行后扩张术,88例手术(37%)采用“标准”后扩张术,36例手术(15%)采用BVF。30天生存率为93.3%。30天时VARC-3器械成功率为71%。对ViV-TAVI后的平均主动脉瓣压差进行多变量回归分析显示,其与外科瓣膜尺寸(-0.84mmHg;P=0.001;外科瓣膜尺寸每增加1mm)、后扩张术的实施(-3.25mmHg;P=0.007)及经导管心脏瓣膜类型(SEV:-7.31mmHg;P<0.001)显著相关。
在实际内径≤21mm的Perimount外科主动脉生物瓣内行ViV-TAVI时,植入SEV-TAV并对TAV-in-SAV复合体进行后扩张时,血流动力学瓣膜性能最佳。与“标准”后扩张术相比,BVF并未带来更优的血流动力学效果。
