Background: Calculated plasma volume status (PVS) reflects volume overload based on the deviation of the estimated plasma volume (ePV) from the ideal plasma volume (iPV). Calculated PVS is associated with prognosis in the context of heart failure. This single-center study investigated the prognostic impact of PVS in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: A total of 859 TAVI patients had been prospectively enrolled in an observational study and were included in the analysis. An optimal cutoff for PVS of −5.4% was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalization within 1 year after TAVI. Results: A total of 324 patients had a PVS < −5.4% (no congestion), while 535 patients showed a PVS ≥ −5.4% (congestion). The primary endpoint occurred more frequently in patients with a PVS ≥ −5.4% compared to patients with PVS < −5.4% (22.6% vs. 13.0%, p < 0.001). After multivariable adjustment, PVS was confirmed as a significant predictor of the primary endpoint (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.05–2.22, p = 0.026). Conclusions: Elevated PVS, as a marker of subclinical congestion, is significantly associated with all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization within 1 year after TAVI.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular lesion in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) recipients. This study aims to assess the long-term prognostic impact of baseline MR in TAVI patients. Methods: Adult patients who underwent TAVI were identified in the French National Hospital Discharge Database. All-cause and cardiovascular mortality, stroke, and rehospitalization with heart failure (HF) were compared in TAVI patients with and without baseline MR and tricuspid regurgitation (TR), respectively; the associations of MR and TR with the outcomes were assessed by Cox regression. Results: Baseline MR was identified in 8240 TAVI patients. Patients with baseline MR have higher yearly incidence of all-cause mortality (HR: 1.192, 95% confidence interval CI: 1.125–1.263), cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.313, 95%CI: 1.210–1.425), and rehospitalization for heart failure (HF) (HR: 1.411, 95%CI: 1.340–1.486) compared to those without, except for stroke rate (HR: 0.988, 95%CI: 0.868–1.124). Neither baseline MR nor TR was an independent risk predictor for all-cause mortality or cardiovascular mortality in TAVI patients. Baseline MR was independently associated with rehospitalization for HF in TAVI patients. Conclusions: Baseline MR and TR were associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality post-TAVI, however, neither of them was independent predictor for all-cause or cardiovascular mortality.

Rv Function

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) on echocardiography has been shown to predict outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, a comparison with the gold standard, RV ejection fraction (EF) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), has never been performed. Objectives. To compare RV function parameters on echocardiography and CMR for prognostication in TAVI patients. Methods. Consecutive patients scheduled for TAVI underwent echocardiography and CMR.  RV fractional area change (FAC), TAPSE, RV free-lateral-wall tissue Doppler (S’) and strain were assessed on echocardiography, and RVEF on CMR. Patients were prospectively followed. Adjusted regression analyses were used to report the strength of association per 1-SD decline for each RV function parameter with 1) NT-proBNP levels, 2) prolonged in-hospital stay (&gt;14 days), and 3) a composite of heart failure hospitalization and death. Results. 204 patients (80.9 ± 6.6y/o; 51% female; EuroSCORE-II: 6.5 ± 5.5%) were included. At a cross-sectional level, all RV function parameters were associated with NT-proBNP levels, but only FAC and RVEF were significantly associated with a prolonged in-hospital stay (adj. OR 1.98 [95%CI: 1.15-3.41], p = 0.013 and 2.29 [95%CI: 1.43-3.67], p = 0.001, respectively). A total of 56 events occurred during follow-up (mean 13.7 ± 9.5months). After adjustment for the EuroSCORE-II and NT-proBNP levels, only RVEF was significantly associated with the composite endpoint (adj. HR 1.69 [95%CI: 1.24-2.30], p &lt; 0.001, Figure 1). Conclusions. RVD as defined by echocardiography is associated with an advanced disease state, but fails to predict outcomes after adjustment for pre-existing clinical risk factors in TAVI patients. In contrast, RVEF on CMR is independently associated with heart failure hospitalization and death. Abstract Figure 1. Outcome analysis

Abstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become standard treatment for elderly patients with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis. The ACURATE neo AS study evaluates 30-day and 1-year clinical and hemodynamic outcomes in patients treated with the ACURATE neo2 valve. Methods The primary endpoint of this single-arm multicenter study is 30-day all-cause mortality. Other key endpoints include device performance, echocardiographic measures assessed by an independent core laboratory, and VARC-2 clinical efficacy and safety endpoints through 12 months. Results The study enrolled 120 patients (mean age 82.1 ± 4.0 years; 67.5% female, mean baseline STS score 4.8 ± 3.8%). The VARC-2 composite safety endpoint at 30 days occurred in 13.3% of patients. All-cause mortality was 3.3% at 30 days and 11.9% at 1 year. The 30-day stroke rate was 2.5% (disabling stroke 1.7%); there were no new strokes between 30 days and 12 months. The rate of permanent pacemaker implantation was 15.0% (18/120) at 30 days and 17.8% (21/120) at 1 year. No patients required re-intervention for valve-related dysfunction and there were no cases of valve thrombosis or endocarditis. Patients demonstrated significant improvement in mean aortic valve gradient (baseline 38.9 ± 13.1 mmHg, 1 year 7.8 ± 3.5 mmHg; P < 0.001 in a paired analysis). In the overall population, paravalvular leak was evaluated at 1 year as none/trace in 60.5%, mild in 37.0%, and moderate in 2.5%; no patients had severe PVL. Conclusions One-year outcomes from the ACURATE neo AS study support the safety and performance of TAVI with the ACURATE neo2 valve. Graphic Abstract

Abstract Introduction New onset left bundle branch block (LBBB) is the most common conduction disturbance associated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It has been shown to adversely affect cardiac function and increase re-hospitalisation, although its impact on mortality remains contentious. Methods We conducted an observational cohort analysis of all TAVI procedures performed by 13 heart teams in the United Kingdom from inception of their structural programmes until 31st July 2013. The primary outcome was 1-year all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at 30 days and need for a post-TAVI permanent pacemaker (PPM). Results 1785 patients were eligible for inclusion to the study. The primary analysis cohort was composed of 1409 patients with complete electrocardiographic (ECG) data pre- and post-TAVI. Pre-existing LBBB was present in 200 (14.2%) patients. New LBBB occurred in 323 (22.9%) patients post TAVI, which resolved in 99 (7%) patients prior to discharge. A balloon-expandable device was implanted in 968 (69%) patients, whilst 421 (30%) patients received a self-expandable valve. New LBBB was observed in 120 (12.4%) and 192 (45.6%) patients receiving a balloon- or self-expandable prosthesis respectively. Overall 1-year all-cause mortality post TAVI was 18.7%. New onset LBBB was not associated with an increase in 1-year all-cause mortality (p=0.416). Factors that were associated with mortality included an increasing logistic EuroScore (p=0.05), history of previous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (p=0.001), renal impairment (p=0.003), previous myocardial infarction with pre-existing LBBB (p=0.028) and atrial fibrillation (p=0.039). Lower baseline peak and mean AV gradients were also associated with greater mortality at 1 year (p=0.001), likely reflecting underlying left ventricular dysfunction. In the majority of patients, LVEF remained unchanged following TAVI. Interestingly, the presence or absence of new onset LBBB did not affect LVEF improvement at 30 days. 10% of patients required a PPM post TAVI. Predictors of PPM included new LBBB (OR 2.6, p&lt;0.001), pre-TAVI left ventricular systolic impairment (OR 1.2, p=0.037), a self-expandable device (p&lt;0.001), and pre-existing RBBB (OR 4.0, p&lt;0.001). Conclusions These findings suggest that new onset LBBB post TAVI does not increase mortality at 1 year or adversely affect LVEF at 30 days. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Стеноз аортального клапана (АК) - самое частое приобретенное клапанное заболевание с растущей распространенностью из-за старения населения, требующее хирургического или эндоваскулярного вмешательства. Транскатетерная имплантация АК (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, TAVI) представляет собой настоящую революцию в области интервенционной кардиологии для лечения пациентов старческого возраста или из группы высокого риска с тяжелым симптомным стенозом АК. TAVI позволяет выполнять коррекцию аортального порока наиболее тяжелой группе больных ХСН с выраженной коморбидностью, которым противопоказано выполнение открытой операции по замене АК, для прерывания порочного круга в прогрессировании ХСН, стимуляции обратного ремоделирования миокарда, облегчения симптомов, улучшения качества жизни и прогноза больных, а также в качестве «моста» к трансплантации сердца. Благодаря разработке устройств нового поколения, TAVI превратилась из сложной и опасной процедуры в эффективную и безопасную методику. Наибольший научный интерес в настоящее время представляет изучение долговечности клапана и возможности расширения показаний к выполнению TAVI у категорий пациентов с низким хирургическим риском, а также более молодого возраста. Aortic valve (AV) stenosis is the most common acquired valvular disease with an increasing prevalence due to an aging population, requiring surgical or endovascular intervention. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) represents a real revolution in the field of interventional cardiology for the treatment of elderly or high-risk patients with severe symptomatic AV stenosis. TAVI allows for the correction of aortic defect in the most severe group of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with severe comorbidity, who are contraindicated for open surgery to replace AV, in order to interrupt the vicious circle in the progression of CHF, stimulate reverse myocardial remodeling, alleviate symptoms, improve the quality of life, and prognosis of patients, and also as a «bridge» to heart transplantation. With the development of next-generation devices, TAVI has evolved from a complex and dangerous procedure to an effective and safe technique. Currently, the greatest scientific interest is the study of valve durability and the possibility of expanding the indications for performing TAVI in categories of patients with low surgical risk, as well as in younger age groups.

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 &lt; 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 &lt; 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.

Abstract Aims  Owing to new evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, we compared the collective safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) vs. surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) across the entire spectrum of surgical risk patients. Methods and results  The meta-analysis is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42016037273). We identified RCTs comparing TAVI with SAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis reporting at different follow-up periods. We extracted trial, patient, intervention, and outcome characteristics following predefined criteria. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality up to 2 years for the main analysis. Seven trials that randomly assigned 8020 participants to TAVI (4014 patients) and SAVR (4006 patients) were included. The combined mean STS score in the TAVI arm was 9.4%, 5.1%, and 2.0% for high-, intermediate-, and low surgical risk trials, respectively. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was associated with a significant reduction of all-cause mortality compared to SAVR {hazard ratio [HR] 0.88 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78–0.99], P = 0.030}; an effect that was consistent across the entire spectrum of surgical risk (P-for-interaction = 0.410) and irrespective of type of transcatheter heart valve (THV) system (P-for-interaction = 0.674). Transcatheter aortic valve implantation resulted in lower risk of strokes [HR 0.81 (95% CI 0.68–0.98), P = 0.028]. Surgical aortic valve replacement was associated with a lower risk of major vascular complications [HR 1.99 (95% CI 1.34–2.93), P = 0.001] and permanent pacemaker implantations [HR 2.27 (95% CI 1.47–3.64), P < 0.001] compared to TAVI. Conclusion  Compared with SAVR, TAVI is associated with reduction in all-cause mortality and stroke up to 2 years irrespective of baseline surgical risk and type of THV system.
