RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The coexistence of mitral regurgitation (MR) and severe aortic stenosis (AS) has been associated with worse outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Herein, the aim was to assess the etiology and degree of MR in an unselected TAVI population and investigate the impact of MR reduction at mid-term follow-up. METHODS: Patients subjected to TAVI as a treatment for severe AS in a single center were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was the MR reduction after TAVI. The secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization at a 3-year follow-up. RESULTS: Patients undergoing TAVI (n = 283) in the years 2017-2019 were screened for the presence of hemodynamically significant MR. Sixty-nine subjects (24.4%) with severe (16, 23.2%) and moderate (53, 76.8%) MR were included. The primary MR was predominant (39 subjects, 56.5%). The median age of the patients was 82 years. MR improved in 25 patients (36.2%, p < 0.001). Baseline severe MR was more prone to reduce (8 subjects, 50%) than moderate (17 subjects, 32.1%, p = 0.04). The primary MR improved in 14 patients (35.9%), while secondary in 11 patients (36.7%, p = 1). Patients showing MR reduction had lower mortality (8 vs. 29.55%, p = 0.047) and were less frequently hospitalized (20 vs. 45.45%, p = 0.03) at 3-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Hemodynamically significant MR improves after TAVI regardless of its etiology. Moreover, MR reduction after TAVI is associated with better clinical outcomes.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Intricate management of heart failure (HF), especially in the context of reduced ejection fraction, is further complicated by an elevated risk of thromboembolic events. Studies published so far offer inconclusive insight into the interplay between mitral regurgitation (MR) and the coagulation system. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the impact of transcatheter edge­to­edge repair (TEER) on specific coagulation parameters in HF patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A cohort of 31 HF patients with severe MR treated with TEER underwent a systematic evaluation at 3 visits (V1, V2, and V3). Coagulation parameters, including fibrinogen concentration, thrombin generation, fibrin clot permeability, and clot lysis time (CLT) were assessed (n = 27 at V2; n = 25 at V3). RESULTS: TEER induced changes in fibrinogen levels (P = 0.01; V3 vs V2) and improved fibrin clot properties over 50­day follow­up (P = 0.01; V3 vs V2). No significant differences were observed between time points in the analyzed blood clot parameters. Correlation analysis showed that baseline CLT was associated with ΔN­terminal pro-B­type natriuretic peptide (NT­proBNP) level (P = 0.049; r = 0.4). Multivariable analysis identified baseline CLT as an independent predictor of early post­TEER NT­proBNP change (R2 = 0.55; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: We found decreased level of fibrinogen and increased permeation coefficient over a median 50 (interquartile range, 32.5-75.5)-day post­TEER follow­up, as compared with early postprocedural assessments. Other blood coagulation parameters remained unchanged from baseline at both follow­up time points after TEER. Finally, CLT was an independent predictor of early NT­proBNP increase, emphasizing its role as an indicator of hemodynamic response to TEER.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular events frequently recur after acute myocardial infarction, and low cholesterol efflux - a process mediated by apolipoprotein A1, which is the main protein in high-density lipoprotein - has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. CSL112 is human apolipoprotein A1 derived from plasma that increases cholesterol efflux capacity. Whether infusions of CSL112 can reduce the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction is unclear. METHODS: We conducted an international, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving patients with acute myocardial infarction, multivessel coronary artery disease, and additional cardiovascular risk factors. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either four weekly infusions of 6 g of CSL112 or matching placebo, with the first infusion administered within 5 days after the first medical contact for the acute myocardial infarction. The primary end point was a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes from randomization through 90 days of follow-up. RESULTS: A total of 18,219 patients were included in the trial (9112 in the CSL112 group and 9107 in the placebo group). There was no significant difference between the groups in the risk of a primary end-point event at 90 days of follow-up (439 patients [4.8%] in the CSL112 group vs. 472 patients [5.2%] in the placebo group; hazard ratio, 0.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81 to 1.05; P = 0.24), at 180 days of follow-up (622 patients [6.9%] vs. 683 patients [7.6%]; hazard ratio, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.81 to 1.01), or at 365 days of follow-up (885 patients [9.8%] vs. 944 patients [10.5%]; hazard ratio, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.85 to 1.02). The percentage of patients with adverse events was similar in the two groups; a higher number of hypersensitivity events was reported in the CSL112 group. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with acute myocardial infarction, multivessel coronary artery disease, and additional cardiovascular risk factors, four weekly infusions of CSL112 did not result in a lower risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes than placebo through 90 days.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The AEGIS-II trial hypothesized that CSL112, an intravenous formulation of human apoA-I, would lower the risk of plaque disruption, decreasing the risk of recurrent events such as myocardial infarction (MI) among high-risk patients with MI. OBJECTIVES: This exploratory analysis evaluates the effect of CSL112 therapy on the incidence of cardiovascular (CV) death and recurrent MI. METHODS: The AEGIS-II trial was an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that randomized 18,219 high-risk acute MI patients to 4 weekly infusions of apoA-I (6 g CSL112) or placebo. RESULTS: The incidence of the composite of CV death and type 1 MI was 11% to 16% lower in the CSL112 group over the study period (HR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.7-1.0; P = 0.056 at day 90; HR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.74-0.99; P = 0.048 at day 180; and HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.79-1.01; P = 0.07 at day 365). Similarly, the incidence of CV death or any MI was numerically lower in CSL112-treated patients throughout the follow-up period (HR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.80-1.05 at day 90, HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.79-0.996 at day 180, HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.83-1.01 at day 365). The effect of CSL112 treatment on MI was predominantly observed for type 1 MI and type 4b (MI due to stent thrombosis). CONCLUSIONS: Although CSL112 did not significantly reduce the occurrence of the primary study endpoints, patients treated with CSL112 infusions had numerically lower rates of CV death and MI, type-1 MI, and stent thrombosis-related MI compared with placebo. These findings could suggest a role of apoA-I in reducing subsequent plaque disruption events via enhanced cholesterol efflux. Further prospective data would be needed to confirm these observations.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Transfemoral approach (TFA) is the most common access route for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Percutaneous femoral access (PA) is preferred over the surgical approach (SA), however, may be associated with a higher risk of access site complications. Thus, we aimed to assess outcomes of computed tomography-guided tailored approach to percutaneous and surgical TFA in patients undergoing TAVI. METHODS: We evaluated data of 158 patients, who underwent TAVI via femoral route between January 2017 and December 2018. In the PA group, vascular closure was performed with the use of two percutaneous suture devices and an additional mechanical seal device. We compared complications rate and outcomes. RESULTS: Of the 158 patients (92%; mean age 79.6 years, 60.8% female), in 92 (61%) patients PA was performed and in 66 (39%) patients SA was used. Median (interquartile range) radiation exposure as well as contrast volume dose was higher in the PA group compared to the SA group 614.0 (410.0; 1104.0) mGy vs. 405 (240.5; 658.0) mGy (p < 0.001) and 150.0 (120.0; 180.7) mL vs. 130.0 (100.0; 160.0) mL (p = 0.04), respectively. Bleeding complications were similar in the PA group 11 (12.2%) compared to 5 (8.62%) in the SA group (p = 0.48). Median length of hospital stay was also similar in the PA and the SA group 6.00 (5.00; 8.00) days vs. 6.00 (4.00; 8.00) days, respectively (p = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS: Computed tomography-guided PA in TAVI may provide comparable procedural outcomes compared to the SA, despite a higher radiation dose and the use of contrast dye, while being less invasive.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a frequent complication in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Material and methods: Echocardiographic assessment of MR was performed at baseline, at 30 days and at 6 months after balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). Results: Data of 271 patients were included in our final analysis, of which 21.2% (n = 85) had at least moderate MR at baseline (in 19 (22.3%) subjects MR was diagnosed as primary). Both groups showed similar severity of AS, but patients in the MR group had a greater left ventricle (LV) size (p = 0.003 for LVESD, p = 0002 for LVEDD) and slightly lower LV ejection fraction (p = 0.04). Mitral regurgitation parameters significantly improved both at 30 days and 6 months after BAV in the MR group (MR jet area: 7.2 (4.5-9.9) vs. 3.6 (2.3-7.2) cm2, and 7.2 (4.5-9.9) vs. 3.2 (2.1-6.7) cm2; %MR/left atrial area 34.5 (23.4-42.7) vs. 17.5 (9.3-29.5) and 34.5 (23.4-42.7) vs. 14.5 (8.3-24.5), p < 0.001 for all). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the change at 30 days, from baseline, in the LVESD (OR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.23-2.87; p < 0.001) and LVEF (OR = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.87-1.01; p < 0.001); MR jet area (OR = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.5-4.6; p < 0.001) and the presence of primary MR (OR = 3.2, 95% CI: 1.04-5.98; p < 0.001) were retained as independent predictors of significant persisting MR at 6 months. Conclusions: Balloon aortic valvuloplasty may reduce MR in mid-term follow-up. Predictors of persistent MR at 6 months after BAV included an increase of LVESD and MR jet area and decrease of LVEF at 30 days.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Transcatheter aortic valve­in ­valve implantation (ViV­TAVI) has emerged as an alternative to redo surgery in patients with failed surgical aortic bioprosthesis. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the safety and efficacy of ViV­TAVI in Polish patients after surgical aortic valve replacement. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a nationwide multicenter registry of ViV­TAVI procedures. Data were collected using an online form, and the clinical follow ­up lasted 1 year. RESULTS: From 2008 to 2020, 130 ViV­TAVI procedures were performed (1.9% of all transcatheter aortic valve implantation [TAVI] cases). A considerable increase in ViV­TAVI procedures since 2018 has been observed (n = 59, 45% of ViV­TAVI cases). Hancock II, Freestyle, and homograft were the most frequently treated bioprostheses. The self ­expanding supra ­annular Corevalve / Evolut valve was used in 76% of cases. In 21% of cases, the mean postprocedural pressure gradient (PG) exceeded 20 mm Hg. All­cause mortal­ity at 1 year was 10.8%. Aortic valve stenosis was associated with a higher mean PG than aortic valve regurgitation or mixed disease (P = 0.004). Supra ­annular transcatheter aortic valves were associated with lower mean PGs than intra ­annular valves (P = 0.004). Second ­generation devices were associated with shorter procedure time (120 min vs 135 min, P = 0.04), less frequent need for additional TAVI (2% vs 10%, P = 0.04), and lower 1­year cardiovascular mortality (95% vs 82.8%, P = 0.03) than first­generation valves. CONCLUSIONS: Transcatheter treatment of failed bioprostheses is increasingly common, with the best hemodynamic effect shown for supra ­annular valves. The introduction of second­generation valves has improved procedural and clinical outcomes.

RESUMEN

The study aimed to assess procedural complications, patient flow and clinical outcomes after balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) as rescue or bridge therapy, based on data from our registry. A total of 382 BAVs in 374 patients was performed. The main primary indication for BAV was a bridge for TAVI (n = 185, 49.4%). Other indications included a bridge for AVR (n = 26, 6.9%) and rescue procedure in hemodynamically unstable patients (n = 139, 37.2%). The mortality rate at 30 days, 6 and 12 months was 10.4%, 21.6%, 28.3%, respectively. In rescue patients, the death rate raised to 66.9% at 12 months. A significant improvement in symptoms was confirmed after BAV, after 30 days, 6 months, and in survivors after 1 year (p < 0.05 for all). Independent predictors of 12-month mortality were baseline STS score [HR (95% CI) 1.42 (1.34 to 2.88), p < 0.0001], baseline LVEF <20% [HR (95% CI) 1.89 (1.55-2.83), p < 0.0001] and LVEF <30% at 1 month [HR (95% CI) 1.97 (1.62-3.67), p < 0.0001] adjusted for age/gender. In everyday clinical practice in the TAVI era, there are still clinical indications to BAV a standalone procedure as a bridge to surgery, TAVI or for urgent high risk non-cardiac surgical procedures. Patients may improve clinically after BAV with LV function recovery, allowing to perform final therapy, within limited time window, for severe AS which ameliorates long-term outcomes. On the other hand, in patients for whom an isolated BAV becomes a destination therapy, prognosis is extremely poor.

RESUMEN

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common acquired valvular heart disease (VHD). TR has progressive character and is associated with impaired long-term survival in both symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects. Despite this knowledge, the overall number of tricuspid valve surgeries is very low worldwide and many patients with clear indications for intervention are left untreated. The development of less invasive transcatheter techniques may offer new treatment options in this growing population of patients. Out of various percutaneous methods proposed, tricuspid edge-to-edge repair has recently gained considerable attention. The article summarizes available data regarding this new treatment method.
