AbstractObjectivesThis study aimed to compare short- and long-term outcomes following various alternative access routes for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).MethodsThirty-four studies with a pooled sample size of 30,986 records were selected by searching PubMed and Cochrane library databases from inception through 11th June 2021 for patients undergoing TAVR via 1 of 6 different access sites: Transfemoral (TF), Transaortic (TAO), Transapical (TA), Transcarotid (TC), Transaxillary/Subclavian (TSA), and Transcaval (TCV). Data extracted from these studies were used to conduct a frequentist network meta-analysis with a random-effects model using TF access as a reference group.ResultsCompared with TF, both TAO [RR 1.91, 95% CI (1.46–2.50)] and TA access [RR 2.12, 95%CI (1.84–2.46)] were associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality. No significant difference was observed for stroke, myocardial infarction, major bleeding, conversion to open surgery, and major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events in the short-term (≤ 30 days). Major vascular complications were lower in TA [RR 0.43, (95% CI, 0.28-0.67)] and TC [RR 0.51, 95% CI (0.35-0.73)] access compared to TF. The 1-year mortality was higher in the TAO [RR of 1.35, (95% CI, 1.01–1.81)] and TA [RR 1.44, (95% CI, 1.14–1.81)] groups.ConclusionNon-thoracic alternative access site utilization for TAVR implantation (TC, TSA and TCV) is associated with similar outcomes to conventional TF access. Thoracic TAVR access (TAO and TA) is associated with increased short and long-term mortality.

Introduction: The early approach was to perform transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) under general anesthesia (GA). Over time, monitored anesthesia care (MAC) has been introduced as a less invasive option to facilitate TAVR. Objective: We sought to compare short- and long-term outcomes between TAVR patients undergoing GA versus those receiving MAC. Methods: We identified all consecutive patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who underwent Transfemoral (TF)-TAVR at our institution between January 2012 and April 2017. Results: We included 998 patients who met our inclusion criteria. Overall, the mean age was 80.4 ± 9.7 years, 57.4% were males and 95.2% were Caucasians. MAC was used in 43.9%. The mean STS risk score (SD) was lower with MAC (6.7 ± 4.3% vs. 7.6 ± 4.5%; p = 0.004). MAC was associated with lower all-cause mortality at both 30 days (0.5% vs. 4.2%; log-rank p < 0.001), and 1 year (11.7% vs. 16%; log-rank p = 0.024). However, this difference was negated at 3 years (37% vs. 39%; log-rank p = 0.271). Further, there were no differences in major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at either 30 days (4.6% vs. 7.6%; log-rank p = 0.089) or 1 year (21.5% vs. 24.2%; log-rank p = 0.242). There were no differences in the rates of myocardial infarction (1.6% vs. 0.9%; log-rank p = 0.375), stroke or transient ischemic attacks (3.1% vs. 3.4%; log-rank p = 0.817) or heart failure hospitalizations (9.6% vs. 9.5%; log-rank p = 0.815) at 1 year. In multivariate analysis, MAC predicted lower all-cause death at 1 year after TAVR (HR 0.672; 95% CI 0.453 - 0.996; p = 0.048) but not at 3 years (HR 0.882 (0.705 - 1.103; p = 0.271). MAC was not an independent predictor of MACCE (HR 0.851; 95% CI 0.643 - 1.126; p = 0.258). Conclusions: Compared to GA, MAC was associated with lower all-cause mortality at both 30 days and 1 year, but not at 3 years. There were no differences in MACCE between the two groups at either 30 days or 1 year.

Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to assess imaging predictors of mitral regurgitation (MR) improvement and to evaluate the impact of MR regression on long-term outcome in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Background Concomitant MR is a frequent finding in patients with severe aortic stenosis but usually left untreated at the time of TAVR. Methods Mitral regurgitation was graded by transthoracic echocardiography before and after TAVR in 677 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis. 2-year mortality was related to the degree of baseline and discharge MR. Morphological echo analysis was performed to determine predictors of MR improvement. Results 15.2% of patients presented with baseline MR ≥ 3 +, which was associated with a significantly decreased 2-year survival (57.7% vs. 74.4%, P < 0.001). MR improved in 50% of patients following TAVR, with 44% regressing to MR ≤ 2 +. MR improvement to ≤ 2 + was associated with significantly better survival compared to patients with persistent MR ≥ 3 +. Baseline parameters including non-severe baseline MR, the extent of mitral annular calcification and large annular dimension (≥ 32 mm) predicted the likelihood of an improvement to MR ≤ 2 +. A score based on these parameters selected groups with differing probability of MR ≤ 2 + post TAVR ranging from 10.5 to 94.4% (AUC 0.816; P < 0.001), and was predictive for 2-year mortality. Conclusion Unresolved severe MR is a critical determinant of long term mortality following TAVR. Persistence of severe MR following TAVR can be predicted using selected parameters derived from TTE-imaging. These data call for close follow up and additional mitral valve treatment in this subgroup. Graphic abstract Factors associated with MR persistence or regression after TAVR
