RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate days alive and out of the hospital (DAOH) as an outcome measure after orthotopic heart transplantation in patients with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) as a bridge to transplant compared to those patients without prior MCS. DESIGN: A retrospective observational study of adult patients who underwent cardiac transplantation between January 1, 2015, and January 1, 2020. The primary outcome was DAOH at 365 days (DAOH365) after an orthotopic heart transplant. A Poisson regression model was fitted to detect the association between independent variables and DAOH365. SETTING: An academic tertiary referral center. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 235 heart transplant patients were included-103 MCS as a bridge to transplant patients, and 132 direct orthotopic heart transplants without prior MCS. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The median DAOH365 for the entire cohort was 348 days (IQR 335.0-354.0). There was no difference in DAOH365 between the MCS patients and patients without MCS (347.0 days [IQR 336.0-353.0] v 348.0 days [IQR 334.0-354.0], p = 0.43). Multivariate analysis identified patients who underwent a transplant after the 2018 heart transplant allocation change, pretransplant pulmonary hypertension, and increased total ischemic time as predictors of reduced DAOH365. CONCLUSIONS: In this analysis of patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation, there was no significant difference in DAOH365 in patients with prior MCS as a bridge to transplant compared to those without MCS. Incorporating days alive and out of the hospital into the pre-transplant evaluation may improve understanding and conceptualization of the post-transplantation patient experience and aid in shared decision-making with clinicians.

RESUMEN

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized the percutaneous management of valvular heart disease and has evolved to progressively minimalist techniques over the past decade. This review discusses the impact of minimalist TAVR, explores the alternative approaches when transfemoral (TF) TAVR is not possible, and analyzes the current outcomes of transcarotid (TC) versus transaxillary/subclavian (TAx) TAVR, which are the two leading nonfemoral (NF) approaches emerging as the preferred alternatives to TF TAVR.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the primary treatment for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in patients >65 years with volumes exceeding surgical aortic valve replacements (SAVR) since 2019. As a less invasive procedure with lower complication rates, TAVR is preferable in most patient populations, particularly those with increased surgical risk. One such population is patients who have undergone solid organ transplant (SOT). We aimed to evaluate periprocedural outcomes and complication rates following TAVR in SOT recipients as compared to the general TAVR population. METHODS: The 2016-2018 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried by ICD-10 PCS codes to identify TAVR cases; hospitalizations were subsequently stratified by SOT history. Multivariate analyses were completed to evaluate complication rates, length of stay (LOS), and cost of stay (COS). RESULTS: No significant difference was observed in mortality rates or post-procedural complications between SOT recipients (n = 223) and those without transplant history undergoing TAVR (n = 29,448) except for increased thromboembolic events captured in transplant patients (p < .001). There was no significant variation in LOS or COS between the two populations; female sex and Black or Hispanic race were predictors of increased inpatient time. CONCLUSIONS: SOT recipients have no increased risk of mortality or periprocedural complications when undergoing TAVR. Though the rate of thromboembolic events was higher in SOT recipients, observation size was small (n = 27 TAVR, n = 4 TAVR + SOT) thus external validity is limited. Based on these data, transplant recipients experience no difference in outcomes following TAVR as compared to patients without a history of organ transplant.

RESUMEN

Background: This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of intraoperative methadone compared with short-acting opioids. Methods: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (n=11 967) from 2018 to 2023 from a single health system were categorised into groups based on intraoperative opioid administration: no methadone (Group O), methadone plus other opioids (Group M+O), and methadone only (Group M). Results: Patients in Groups M and M+O had lower mean pain scores until postoperative day (POD) 7 compared with Group O after adjusting for covariates (P<0.01). Both Groups M and M+O had lower total opioid administered compared with Group O for all days POD0-POD6 (all P<0.001). The median number of hours until initial postoperative opioid after surgery was 2.55 (inter-quartile range [IQR]=1.07-5.12), 6.82 (IQR=3.52-12.98), and 7.0 (IQR=3.82-12.95) for Group O, Group M+O, and Group M, respectively. The incidence of postoperative complications did not differ between groups. Conclusions: Intraoperative administration of methadone was associated with better pain control without significant side-effects after cardiac surgery.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous heart valve procedures have been increasingly performed over the past decade, yet real-world mortality data on valvular heart disease (VHD) in the United States remain limited. METHODS AND RESULTS: We queried the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database among patients ≥15 years old from 1999 to 2020. VHD and its subtypes were listed as the underlying cause of death. We calculated age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) per 100 000 individuals and determined overall trends by estimating the average annual percent change using the Joinpoint regression program. Subgroup analyses were performed based on demographic and geographic factors. In the 22-year study, there were 446 096 VHD deaths, accounting for 0.80% of all-cause mortality (56 014 102 people) and 2.38% of the total cardiovascular mortality (18 759 451 people). Aortic stenosis recorded the highest mortality of VHD-related death in both male (109 529, 61.74%) and female (166 930, 62.13%) populations. The AAMR of VHD has declined from 8.4 (95% CI, 8.2-8.5) to 6.6 (95% CI, 6.5-6.7) per 100 000 population. Similar decreasing AAMR trends were also seen for the VHD subtypes. Men recorded higher AAMR for aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation, whereas women had higher AAMR for mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation. Mitral regurgitation had the highest change in average annual percent change in AAMR. CONCLUSIONS: The mortality rate of VHD among the US population has declined over the past 2 decades. This highlights the likely efficacy of increasing surveillance and advancement in the management of VHD, resulting in improved outcomes.

RESUMEN

Background: Residual mitral regurgitation (MR) is frequent after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). There is controversy regarding the clinical impact of residual MR and its quantitative assessment by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which is often challenging with multiple eccentric jets and artifact from the clip. The utility of the velocity time integral (VTI) ratio between the mitral valve (MV) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), (VTIMV/LVOT), a simple Doppler measurement that increases with MR, has not been assessed post TEER. Methods: Baseline characteristics, clinical outcomes, and TTE data from patients who underwent TEER between 2014 and 2021 across three academic centers were retrospectively analyzed. Post-procedure TTEs were evaluated for VTIMV/LVOT in the first three months after TEER. One-year outcomes including all-cause and cardiac mortality, major adverse cardiac events, and MV reintervention were compared between patients with high VTIMV/LVOT (≥2.5) and low (<2.5). Results: In total, 372 patients were included (mean age 78.7 ± 8.8 years, 68 % male, mean pre-TEER ejection fraction of 50.5 ± 14.7 %). Follow up TTEs were performed at a median of 37.5 (IQR 30-48) days post-procedure. Patients with high VTIMV/LVOT had significantly higher all-cause mortality (HR 2.10, p = 0.003), cardiac mortality (HR 3.03, p = 0.004) and heart failure admissions (HR 2.28, p < 0.001) at one-year post-procedure. There was no association between raised VTIMV/LVOT and subsequent MV reintervention. Conclusion: High VTIMV/LVOT has clinically significant prognostic value at one year post TEER. This tool could be used to select patients for consideration of repeat intervention.

RESUMEN

Aims: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is common in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Cardiac amyloidosis has poor outcomes, and its assessment in all TAVR patients is costly and challenging. Electrocardiogram (ECG) artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that screen for CA may be useful to identify at-risk patients. Methods and results: In this retrospective analysis of our institutional National Cardiovascular Disease Registry (NCDR)-TAVR database, patients undergoing TAVR between January 2012 and December 2018 were included. Pre-TAVR CA probability was analysed by an ECG AI predictive model, with >50% risk defined as high probability for CA. Univariable and propensity score covariate adjustment analyses using Cox regression were performed to compare clinical outcomes between patients with high CA probability vs. those with low probability at 1-year follow-up after TAVR. Of 1426 patients who underwent TAVR (mean age 81.0 ± 8.5 years, 57.6% male), 349 (24.4%) had high CA probability on pre-procedure ECG. Only 17 (1.2%) had a clinical diagnosis of CA. After multivariable adjustment, high probability of CA by ECG AI algorithm was significantly associated with increased all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.96, P = 0.046] and higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (transient ischaemic attack (TIA)/stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure hospitalizations] (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.01-1.82, P = 0.041), driven primarily by heart failure hospitalizations (HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.13-2.20, P = 0.008) at 1-year follow-up. There were no significant differences in TIA/stroke or myocardial infarction. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence applied to pre-TAVR ECGs identifies a subgroup at higher risk of clinical events. These targeted patients may benefit from further diagnostic evaluation for CA.

RESUMEN

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a distinct form of coronary artery disease that represents a major cause of death beyond the first year after heart transplantation. The pathophysiology of CAV is still not completely elucidated; it involves progressive circumferential wall thickening of both the epicardial and intramyocardial coronary arteries. Coronary angiography is still considered the gold-standard test for the diagnosis of CAV, and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can detect early intimal thickening with improved sensitivity. However, these tests are invasive and are unable to visualize and evaluate coronary microcirculation. Increasing evidence for non-invasive surveillance techniques assessing both epicardial and microvascular components of CAV may help improve early detection. These include computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and vasodilator stress myocardial contrast echocardiography perfusion imaging. This review summarizes the current state of diagnostic modalities and their utility and prognostic value for CAV and also evaluates emerging tools that may improve the early detection of this complex disease.

RESUMEN

Interfacility transport of a critically ill patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may be necessary for a higher level of care or initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). During the COVID-19 pandemic, ECMO has been used for patients with severe ARDS with successful results. Transporting a patient after ECMO cannulation by the receiving facility brings forth logistic challenges, including availability of adequate personal protective equipment for the transport team and hospital capacity management issues. We report our designated ECMO transport team's experience of 5 patients with COVID-19-associated severe ARDS after cannulation at the referring facility. Focusing on transport-associated logistics, creation of checklists, and collaboration with emergency medical services partners is necessary for safe and good outcomes for patients while maintaining team safety.
