Abstract Introduction In recent years, there has been a surge in the utilization of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Randomized controlled trials have compared TAVI to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients at high-, intermediate-, and low perioperative risk. As TAVI continues to be utilized in patients with lower risk profiles, it is important to investigate the temporal trends in “real-world” patients undergoing TAVI. Purpose To investigate temporal trends in the utilization of TAVI and examine changes in patient characteristics of patients undergoing first-time TAVI. Methods Using complete Danish nationwide registries, we included all patients undergoing first-time TAVI between 2008 and 2017. To compare patient characteristics, the study population was stratified according to calendar year in the following groups: 2008–2009, 2010–2011, 2012–2013, 2014–2015, and 2016–2017. Results We identified 3,534 patients undergoing first-time TAVI. In 2008–2009, 180 patients underwent first-time TAVI compared with 1,417 patients in 2016–2017, resulting in a 687% increase in TAVI procedures performed. During the study period, the median age remained stable (2008–2009: Median age 82 year [25th–75th percentile: 78–85] vs. 2016–2017: Median age 81 years [25th–75th percentile: 76–85]; P-value: 0.06). The proportion of men undergoing first-time TAVI increased over the years (2008–2009: 49.4% vs 2016–2017: 54.9%; P-value for trend: <0.05), also the proportion with diabetes increased (2008–2009: 12.2% vs. 2016–2017: 19.3%; P-value for trend: <0.05). The proportion of patients with a history of stroke decreased over the years (2008–2009: 13.9% vs. 2016–2017: 12.1%; P-value for trend: <0.05). The same trend was seen in patients with a history of myocardial infarction (2008–2009: 24.4% vs. 2016–2017: 11.9%; P-value for trend: <0.05), ischaemic heart disease (2008–2009: 71.7% vs. 2016–2017: 29.4%; P-value for trend: <0.05), and heart failure (2008–2009: 45.6% vs. 2016–2017: 29.4%; P-value for trend: <0.05). Conclusions In this nationwide study, there was a marked increase in the utilization of TAVI in the years 2008–2017. Patients undergoing first-time TAVI had a decreasing comorbidity burden, while the age of the patients at first-time TAVI remained stable. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements This study was supported by the János Bolyai Scholarship of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Background A number of studies aimed to identify the predictors of periprocedural cerebral embolizations related to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Much less investigated is the prevalence and determinants of subacute ischaemic brain lesions that develop following TAVI. Purpose We sought to identify predictors of subacute clinically silent ischaemic brain lesions in patients following TAVI. Methods Patients were included from the Rule out Transcatheter Aortic Valve Thrombosis with Post Implantation Computed Tomography (RETORIC) prospective trial. Echocardiography and brain MRI were performed after TAVI procedure, before hospital discharge. Cardiac CT was performed 6 months later to identify subclinical leaflet thrombosis (HALT), as well as repeat brain MRI, to identify any silent ischaemic lesions that appeared since the intervention. The cognitive trajectory of patients was assessed using the Addenbrookes cognitive test (ACE), performed shortly after TAVI and at 6-month follow-up (FU). All-cause mortality data was retrieved from the National Mortality Database. Results 79 consecutive patients were included in the present analysis. 28% had known history of atrial fibrillation (AF). 33% of the cohort was treated with oral anticoagulant, of these 56% with single and 25% with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The mean CHA2DS2VASC score was 4. From discharge to the 6-month FU, 20 patients (25%) developed new silent ischaemic brain lesions on MRI. Clinically manifest stroke did not occur. On the 6-month CT, HALT was identified in 6 patients (8%). Clinical and imaging parameters, including age, body mass index, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, smoking, statin-, OAC- and DAPT therapy, history of AF, history of stroke, echocardiographic metrics of left ventricular (ejection fraction, stroke volume index) and atrial (left atrial strain) function as well as HALT were analysed for association with ischaemic brain lesions. Of the above, only HALT showed significant association (OR:6,58; p = 0.04) with silent brain embolizations. The cognitive trajectory from discharge till 6-month FU did not differ between patients with or without ischaemic focuses (ΔACEscore: 1.0 vs. 0.1; p = NS). Over a median FU of 553 (IQR 453 – 665) days, 8 patients died; 2 with and 6 without ischaemic lesions. Kaplan-Meyer analysis showed no difference in outcome between the two groups (p = 0.68) Conclusion Subclinical leaflet thrombosis was identified as a significant predictor of subacute silent ischaemic brain lesions after TAVI. These lesions did not affect the overall cognitive performance or outcome of the patients.

Abstract Background The presence of concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common issue in patients with severe aortic stenosis and negatively affects patient outcome. Available data regarding MR reduction due to aortic gradient reduction and left ventricular reverse remodeling after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are contradictory. Purpose To investigate the prognostic impact of both pre- and post-procedural MR in patients undergoing TAVI. Methods Patients with severe and symptomatic aortic stenosis stenosis [effective orifice area (EOA)≤1cm2] referred for TAVI at our institution were consecutively enrolled. Prospectively collected demographic, laboratory and echocardiographic data were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were stratified into two groups according to MR severity : ≤ grade 1 were defined as non-significant and ≥ grade 2 as significant. Change in MR was determined by comparison between baseline and 30-day echocardiogram. Primary clinical endpoint was all-cause mortality, as defined by the criteria proposed by the Valve Academic Research Consortium2. Results 263 consecutive patients (136 men, mean age : 80 ± 7.5 years) were included in the analysis. Significant (grade≥2) MR was present in 65 (24,7%) patients, while 198 (75,3%) patients had mild or no ( ≤ grade 1) MR. Comparing the two groups, patients with significant MR had higher systolic pulmonary pressure (51.3 ± 14.6mmHg versus 42.8 ± 11.2mmHg, p < 0.001), lower ejection fraction (47.4 ± 10.8% versus 51.2 ± 8.2%) and were more dyspnoic (New York Heart Association class IV 18.5% vesrus 2.5%, p < 0.001). The primary clinical end point occurred in 63 (24%) patients during a follow-up period of 26.6 ± 26.8 months. Patients with significant pre-procedural MR displayed greater cumulative mortality (40% versus 18.8%, p = 0.001). Perioperative risk assessed by logistic EuroScore, NYHA class and pre-procedural MR were found to significantly associate to cumulative mortality in a univariate analysis. Performing a multivariable analysis demonstrated that preprocedural MR severity could independently predict cumulative mortality [OR 2.38, B = 0.869 (95% CI 1.2 – 4.6, p = 0.01)] (Figure). Conclusion Significant MR is not infrequent in patients undergoing TAVI and appears to independently associate with high increased all-cause mortality. Abstract P1812 Figure.
