Abstract Background With the growing indications of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) worldwide and among lower risk patients, valve durability has become a crucial issue. Purpose To assess mid and long-term evolution of different generations of percutaneous balloon-expandable prostheses, predictive factors of valve deterioration and its correlation with long-term mortality. Methods All consecutive patients undergoing TAVI for severe aortic stenosis with balloon-expandable prosthesis between 2009 and 2014 and with a minimum follow-up of one-year were included in this monocentric prospective study. All echocardiograms were reviewed by two independent experts. Clinical events were defined according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium criteria. Valve deterioration was defined according to the 2017 EAPCI-ESC-EACTS international consensus statement at the longest follow-up. Results A total of 160 patients were included with a median follow-up of 3.4 years [1.5–4.9] and a maximum of 8 years. Patients were mostly implanted with the first generation Sapien XT valve (n=138, 86.2%). Median age was 85 [79–86] years, with 42.5% of women and a median logistic Euro-SCORE of 14.2% [10.6–23.2]. Immediately after TAVI, mean aortic gradient decreased dramatically from 51±12mmHg to 9±2.6mmHg (p<0.0001) and remained overall stable with a mean gradient of 12±1mmHg at 8 years. Valve deterioration occurred in 5.6% (n=9) of patients, of which 3.7% (n=6) with severe deterioration. Moderate or severe peri-prosthetic aortic regurgitation was observed in 2.5% (n=4) of patients. The eight-year survival rate was 12.9%. During follow-up, hospitalization for acute heart failure was required for 23.7% (n=38) of patients, a myocardial infarction or a stroke occurred respectively among 1.9% (n=3) and 5% (n=8) of patients. After multivariate analysis, size or generation of valves were not independent predictive factors of valve deterioration. Evolution of mean aortic gradient Conclusions After a maximal 8-year follow-up, valve deterioration after balloon-expandable TAVI is very low. In this high-risk population, TAVI seems to be a safe and durable alternative to surgery in severe aortic stenosis regardless of prosthesis generation. Acknowledgement/Funding Edwards Lifesciences

Background. The optimal pharmacological therapy after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains uncertain. We compared efficacy and safety of various antiplatelet and anticoagulant approaches after TAVI by a network meta-analysis. Methods. A total of 14 studies (both observational and randomized) were considered, with 24,119 patients included. Primary safety endpoint was the incidence of any bleeding complications during follow-up. Secondary safety endpoint was major bleeding. Efficacy endpoints were stroke, myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality. A frequentist network meta-analysis was conducted with a random-effects model. The following strategies were compared: dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), oral anticoagulation (OAC), OAC+SAPT. Mean follow-up was 15 months. Results. In comparison to DAPT, SAPT was associated with a 44% risk reduction of any bleeding (OR, 0.56 [95% CI, 0.39-0.80]). SAPT was ranked as the safest strategy for the prevention of any bleeding (P-score, 0.704), followed by OAC alone (P-score, 0.476) and DAPT (P-score, 0.437). Consistent results were observed for major bleeding. The incidence of cardiovascular death and secondary ischemic endpoints did not differ among the tested antithrombotic approaches. In patients with indication for long-term anticoagulation, OAC alone showed similar rates of stroke (OR 0.92 [95% CI 0.41-2.05], p=0.83) and reduced occurrence of any bleeding (OR 0.49 [95% CI 0.37-0.66], p<0.01) vs OAC+SAPT. Conclusions. The present network meta-analysis supports after TAVI the use of SAPT in patients without indication for OAC and OAC alone in those needing long-term anticoagulation.

Abstract Introduction Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established treatment in patients (P) with aortic stenosis. Despite the continuous developments of this procedure, high-grade conduction disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is still a major and common complication of TAVI. Furthermore, long-term chronic right ventricular pacing has been associated with negative effects on ventricular function and heart failure (HF). Aim   to evaluate the long-term impact of PPM after TAVI focusing on mortality and HF hospitalization. Methods  We retrospectively examined P who underwent TAVI with a self-expanding valve from 2009 to 2018 at our institution. All P had pre-procedural clinical evaluation, including ECG, cardiac computed tomographic angiography and transthoracic echocardiography. P with previous PPM were excluded. Results  265P (57% male, mean age 81.4 years, 20% with left ventricular ejection fraction &lt;40%) were analysed. Mean STS score and mean Euroscore II were 6.33% and 7.07%, respectively. Mean transvalvular gradient was 52.78 mmHg and mean aortic valve area 0.67 cm2. Forty-seven P (17%) underwent PPM implantation during the first 30 days after TAVI. P requiring PPM had higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, chronic renal disease, atrial fibrillation and right bundle branch block. During a mean follow-up of 20.3 months, post-TAVI PPM was associated with similar mortality rate (29.8% vs. 25.6%, HR 1.28, 95% CI 0.72-2.29, p = 0.42) and similar cardiovascular mortality (9.8% vs. 6.4%, HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.21-2.4, p = 0.59) compared to P without PPM. There were no significant differences in HF hospitalization (4.9% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.47). Kaplan-Meier curves of total mortality and cardiovascular mortality according to the need for PPM post-TAVI were similar.  Conclusions  In P submitted to TAVI, PPM implantation is a relatively common finding, not associated with higher risk of total mortality, cardiovascular mortality or HF hospitalization in a long-term follow-up.
