RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To compare clinical outcomes in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients with and without complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treated with Resolute Onyx zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) after 1-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). BACKGROUND: PCI with 1-month DAPT has been demonstrated to be safe in HBR patients treated with Resolute Onyx ZES. Whether these outcomes are consistent in patients with complex lesions is uncertain. METHODS: Among HBR patients who were event-free 1 month after PCI with ZES and treated thereafter with single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), the clinical outcomes between 1 month and 1 year were compared after complex PCI (3 vessels treated, ≥ 3 lesions treated, total stent length > 60 mm, bifurcation with ≥ 2 stents implanted, atherectomy, or left main, surgical bypass graft or chronic total occlusion PCI) versus noncomplex PCI. Propensity score adjustment was performed to adjust for baseline differences among complex and noncomplex patients. RESULTS: Complex patients (N = 401, 26.6% of total) had a higher prevalence of hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and previous myocardial infarction (MI). Between 1 month and 1 year, rates of MI (7.1% vs. 4.0%, p = 0.02) and cardiac death/MI (9.3% vs. 6.1%, p = 0.04) were higher among complex versus noncomplex patients, although stent thrombosis rates were similar. After adjustment for baseline characteristics, differences in outcomes were no longer significant between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Higher rates of ischemic outcomes in complex PCI patients were largely explained by baseline clinical differences, rather than lesion complexity, among HBR patients treated with 1-month DAPT following PCI with Resolute Onyx ZES.

OBJECTIVES: This study describes procedural and 1-year outcomes of the 16 mm Melody PB1016 valve in patients with dysfunctional RVOT conduits. BACKGROUND: The Melody PB1016 is a standard Melody valve produced from a 16 mm bovine jugular vein and is intended for deployment up to 20 mm. METHODS: This is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter study of the procedural and short-term outcomes of Melody PB1016 TPV replacement within dysfunctional RVOT conduits. Data from eight centers were included in the analysis. RESULTS: During the study period, 39 patients underwent attempted Melody TPVR. Of the 39 patients, 30 underwent successful Melody TPVR. The majority of patients underwent placement of one or more stents prior to TPVR. There was a significant reduction in peak conduit pressure gradient following TPVR (38 mmHg vs. 11 mmHg, P < 0.001). There were three cases of confined conduit tears successfully treated with covered stents or the valve itself. Repeat catheterization was performed in one patient for early re-obstruction that was successfully treated with balloon valvuloplasty. At recent follow-up, there were no cases of more than mild valve regurgitation and the mean pulmonary valve gradient by echocardiogram remained reduced relative to pre-TPVR implant measurements (33.5 mmHg vs. 15.2 mmHg). There were no cases of valve stent fracture or endocarditis reported at the 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis of TPVR with the PB1016 valve in RVOT conduits showed it to be safe and effective and can be performed in a wide range of conduit sizes with preserved valve function.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether age and valve size at implant contribute to outcomes after Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR). BACKGROUND: Patient age and valve size at implant contribute to longevity of surgical pulmonary valves. METHODS: All patients discharged with a Melody valve in the pulmonary position, as part of three prospective Melody valve multicenter studies, comprised the study cohort. Acute and time-related outcomes were analyzed according to age: children (≤12 years), adolescents (13-18 years), young adults (19-29 years), and older adults (≥30 years). RESULTS: Successful Melody valve implantation occurred in 49 children, 107 adolescents, 96 young adults, and 57 older adults. Pediatric patients (≤18 years) were more likely to have TPVR for conduit stenosis than adults (62% vs. 44%); children had the smallest conduits. After TPVR, pediatric and adult patients had similar decreases in right ventricular (RV) size by MRI, but adults had improved percentage predicted peak VO2 (58% preimplant to 64% postimplant, p = .02) and FEV1 (69% pre to 71% post, p = .005). Younger age was associated with shorter freedom from RVOT dysfunction, reintervention, and explant. Children had the shortest freedom from endocarditis (p = .041), but all other groups had 5-year freedom from endocarditis of ≥90%. CONCLUSIONS: Younger age was associated with shorter time to RVOT dysfunction, reintervention, and explant after Melody TPVR. Patients ≥13 years of age were at low risk for endocarditis and explant to 5 years. A better understanding of time-related outcomes by age will aid in the comparison of therapeutic options for TPVR candidates.

BACKGROUND: Patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) are often treated with abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to reduce bleeding risk, however this strategy is associated with an increase in ischemic events, especially if the acute PCI result is suboptimal. We compared clinical outcomes among patients with HBR treated with 1-month DAPT who underwent intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)- or optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI versus those who underwent angiography-guided PCI without intravascular imaging. METHODS: The Onyx ONE Clear study includes patients with HBR from the Onyx ONE US/Japan and Onyx ONE randomized studies who were treated with the Resolute Onyx zotarolimus-eluting stent. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiac death (CD) or myocardial infarction (MI) between 1 month and 2 years after PCI. Propensity-score adjustments and matching were performed for differences in baseline and procedural characteristics between groups. RESULTS: Among the 1507 patients in Onyx ONE Clear, 271 (18.0 %) had IVUS or OCT used during PCI (Imaging-guided group) and 1236 (82.0 %) underwent Angiography-guided PCI (Angio-guided group). Imaging-guided patients were less likely to present with atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndrome, and left ventricle ejection fraction ≤35 %. Conversely, Imaging-guided patients were more likely to have complex (ACC/AHA type B2/C), longer, and heavily calcified lesions. Between 1 month and 2 years, the composite rate of CD or MI was similar between Imaging-guided and Angio-guided patients (9.9 % vs. 12.4 %, P = 0.33). There was also no difference between groups after adjustment; (P = 0.56). However, CD was significantly lower among Imaging-guided patients (2.7 % vs. 6.1 %, P = 0.048). There were no between-group differences in MI or stent thrombosis. Propensity score matching results were similar. CONCLUSION: Despite higher lesion complexity, using intravascular imaging guidance for PCI between 1-month and 2-years follow-up had comparable outcomes with angiographic guidance alone in patients with HBR treated with 1-month DAPT.

Background: One-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the Resolute OnyxTM zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) is safe and effective. Asian patients have a unique ischemia/bleeding risk profile. Here, we compare the outcomes between Asian and non-Asian patients after PCI and 1-month DAPT. Methods and Results: Onyx ONE Clear was a prospective, multicenter study enrolling HBR patients undergoing PCI with the Resolute Onyx ZES (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03647475). Event-free patients after 1-month DAPT transitioned to single antiplatelet therapy. Clinical outcomes between 1 month and 2 years were compared between patients from Asian and non-Asian countries after 1 : 1 propensity score matching accounting for baseline differences. Patients from Asian countries represented 18% (n=273) of the study group (n=1,507). Non-Asian patients had greater clinical complexity; however, these differences were minimal after matching. There were no significant differences in ischemic outcomes between matched cohorts from 1 month to 2 years, including the primary composite endpoint of cardiac death or myocardial infarction (12% vs. 12%; P>0.99). However, there were significantly fewer Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 3-5 bleeding events in the Asian vs. non-Asian cohort (4% vs. 9%; P=0.007), despite similar bleeding risk profiles after matching. Conclusions: After propensity score matching, HBR patients from Asian countries undergoing PCI treated with 1-month DAPT had similar ischemic outcomes but fewer bleeding events between 1 month and 2 years compared with patients from non-Asian countries.
RESUMO
Background: Bifurcation represents a challenging lesion subset for percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: In this prospective study of the Resolute Onyx zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES), patients with a single bifurcation target lesion who underwent planned treatment using a provisional stenting technique were enrolled at 25 centers in the United States and Europe. The primary end point was target-vessel failure (TVF) at 1 year, and follow-up was performed through 3 years. Results: A total of 205 patients were enrolled. Mean age was 66.6 ± 10.7 years, 21.5% of patients were female, and diabetes mellitus was present in 30.2%. A provisional approach with a single stent was performed in 96.6% of patients. The rate of TVF at 1 year was 7.4%, fulfilling the prespecified performance criterion (upper 1-sided 95% CI of 11.1%, compared with the performance goal of 24.5%). At 3-year follow-up, the rate of TVF was 12.1%, the rate of clinically driven target-lesion revascularization was 6.0%, and there were no episodes of stent thrombosis related to the target lesion. Event rates were consistent among the cohort of patients with angiographic core laboratory-confirmed bifurcation lesions. Conclusions: In this prospective, multicenter study, bifurcation lesion treatment with Resolute Onyx ZES using a planned provisional stent approach was associated with favorable clinical outcomes through 3 years. These results support the longer-term safety and effectiveness of Resolute Onyx ZES to treat bifurcation lesions that are amenable to a planned provisional stenting technique.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: The study aim was to compare the sizing characteristics and hemodynamics of the Medtronic Mosaic Ultra porcine and Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna bovine pericardial bioprosthetic stented aortic valves in relation to the patient's true aortic annulus size. METHODS: In this prospective multicenter randomized study, data acquired perioperatively and at six months postoperatively were collected. Following aortic valve excision and debridement, the annulus was measured by blinded sizers prior to the randomization of 141 patients (Ultra, n=72; Magna, n=69). RESULTS: The median patient age was 75 years, and 89% of the patients had aortic stenosis. A good left ventricular function was present in 75% of patients, and the EuroSCORE-predicted mortality was 9%. Concomitant procedures (coronary artery bypass grafting, mitral/tricuspid repair, septal myectomy, modified Maze) were performed in 61% of patients. The in-hospital mortality was 3%, and at six months postoperatively 96% of the patients were NYHA class I or II, with no intergroup differences. The mean 'true aortic annulus' size was 23.0 +/- 1.4 mm for the Ultra valve, and 22.6 +/- 1.8 mm for the Magna valve (p = NS). The implanted labeled valve size was > or = 23 mm for 83% of Ultra valves, and for 52% of Magna valves (p < 0.01), and smaller than the measured true aortic diameter (44% Magna versus 33% Ultra). The mean echo gradients were lower with Magna valves (11 +/- 6 mmHg) than with Ultra (17 +/- 6 mmHg; p < 0.01), while the effective orifice area (EOA) was higher with Magna than with Ultra (1.6 +/- 0.4 versus 1.4 +/- 0.4 ; p < 0.01). Both groups showed a similar left ventricular mass regression (Ultra -48 +/- 83 g; Magna -42 +/- 70 g). Trivial to moderate regurgitation was noted in 24% of Ultra valves compared to 48% of Magna valves (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Selection of the Ultra bioprosthetic valve allowed the implantation of larger valve sizes. However, when compared to the 'true aortic annulus', the Magna was associated with lower transprosthetic gradients and larger EOAs. The longer term significance of these observations remains inconclusive in terms of bioprosthesis selection, however.

Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at a higher risk of ischemic events compared with patients without DM. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the Resolute Onyx zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) followed by 1-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is safe and effective in patients with high bleeding risk. However, outcomes in patients with DM are not fully understood. Methods: Onyx ONE Clear was a prospective, multicenter study that included patients receiving the Resolute Onyx ZES during PCI and 1-month DAPT. The primary end point was a composite of cardiac death (CD) or myocardial infarction from 1 month to 12 months. Results: Among the Onyx ONE Clear population (N = 1506), 39% had DM. Patients with DM had a higher incidence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and previous PCI and a higher body mass index than patients without DM. Patients with diabetes were also younger, more likely to be anemic, and experience renal failure. After adjusting for baseline differences between the groups, the Kaplan-Meier rates of CD or myocardial infarction (9.3% vs 6.1%; P = .122, unadjusted P = .010) and target lesion failure (10.2% vs 7.7%; P = .294, unadjusted P = .056) between 1 month and 12 months were not significantly different in patients with and without DM. The rates of target lesion revascularization were also similar in both groups, and stent thrombosis was very low and comparable in both arms after adjusting for baseline differences. Non-CD and bleeding were more frequent in patients with DM. Conclusions: Patients with diabetes treated with the Resolute Onyx ZES followed by 1-month DAPT had favorable 12-month ischemic outcomes after accounting for baseline differences between patients with and without DM, supporting the safety and efficacy of the treatment in selected patients with DM at high bleeding risk.
RESUMO
Background: Small reference vessel diameters (RVDs) are a predictor of ischemic events after coronary stenting. Among patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) precluding long-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), those with small vessel disease (SVD) constitute an especially high-risk subgroup. Here, we evaluated the results of a durable-polymer, coronary zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) for the treatment of patients with SVD at HBR with 1-month DAPT. Methods: In the prospective, multicenter Onyx ONE (One-Month DAPT) Clear study, 1506 patients at HBR treated with a ZES that discontinued DAPT at 30 days were included. The clinical outcomes of patients undergoing treatment of lesions with an RVD of ≤2.5 mm (SVD group, as determined by the angiographic core laboratory) were compared with patients without SVD. The primary end point was the composite of cardiac death or myocardial infarction between 1 and 12 months. Results: Small vessel diameter treatment was performed in 489 (32.5%) patients. Patients with SVD were more likely to be women, have undergone a previous percutaneous intervention, and have multivessel coronary artery disease than patients without SVD. There were no significant differences in lesion, device, or procedural success between the groups. The Kaplan-Meier rate estimate of the primary end point was 8.5% and 6.8% in patients with SVD and those without SVD, respectively (P = .425). No significant differences were found in any secondary end point. The Kaplan-Meier rate of stent thrombosis was 0.6% and 0.8% in patients with SVD and those without SVD, respectively (P = .50). Conclusions: Among patients at HBR treated with a ZES and 1-month DAPT, those with SVD had favorable 12-month ischemic and bleeding outcomes, which were comparable with those of patients with larger caliber vessels.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Resolute Onyx polymer-based zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) were noninferior in safety and effectiveness to BioFreedom polymer-free biolimus A9-coated stents (DCS) in high-bleeding-risk (HBR) patients treated with 1-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) at 1 year. OBJECTIVES: This study reports the final 2-year results of the randomized Onyx ONE trial. METHODS: The Onyx ONE (A Randomized Controlled Trial With Resolute Onyx in One Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) for High-Bleeding Risk Patients) trial randomly assigned HBR patients to treatment with ZES or DCS. Following 1-month DAPT, event-free patients received SAPT (either aspirin or a P2Y12 inhibitor at physician discretion). The primary safety endpoint, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stent thrombosis at 1 year, was determined at 1 year. Rates of primary and secondary endpoints were calculated after final follow-up at 2 years. RESULTS: A total of 1,003 patients were randomly allocated to ZES and 993 patients to DCS. Follow-up was complete in 980 (97.7%) ZES patients and 962 (96.9%) DCS patients at 2 years. The primary safety endpoint occurred in 208 (21.2%) patients in the ZES group and 199 (20.7%) patients in the DCS group (risk difference: 0.5%; 95% CI: -3.1% to 4.2%; P = 0.78) at 2 years without significant differences in individual components of the composite endpoint. The secondary effectiveness endpoint occurred in 217 (22.1%) patients in the ZES group and 202 (21.0%) patients in the DCS group (risk difference: 1.1%; 95% CI: -2.5% to 4.8%; P = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS: Among patients at HBR treated with 1-month DAPT followed by SAPT, the Resolute Onyx polymer-based ZES had similar 2-year outcomes for the primary safety and secondary effectiveness endpoint compared with the BioFreedom polymer-free DCS. (A Randomized Controlled Trial With Resolute Onyx in One Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy [DAPT] for High-Bleeding Risk Patients [Onyx ONE]; NCT03344653).

BACKGROUND: Despite treatment guidance endorsing shortened dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients after drug-eluting stents, limited evidence exists to support these recommendations. The present study was designed to examine the safety and effectiveness of 1-month DAPT duration following percutaneous coronary intervention with zotarolimus-eluting stents in HBR patients. METHODS: Onyx ONE Clear was a prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of 1-month DAPT followed by single antiplatelet therapy in HBR patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with Resolute Onyx drug-eluting stents. The primary analysis of cardiac death or myocardial infarction between 1 month and 1 year was performed in the prespecified one-month clear population of patients pooled from the Onyx ONE US/Japan study and Onyx ONE randomized controlled trial. One-month clear was defined as DAPT adherence and without major adverse events during the first month following percutaneous coronary intervention. RESULTS: Among patients enrolled in Onyx ONE US/Japan (n=752) and Onyx ONE randomized controlled trial (n=1018), 1506 patients fulfilled one-month clear criteria. Mean HBR characteristics per patient was 1.6 with 44.7% having multiple risks. By 2 months and 1 year, respectively, 96.9% and 89.3% of patients were taking single antiplatelet therapy. Between 1 month and 1 year, the rate of the primary end point was 7.0%. The 1-sided upper 97.5% CI was 8.4%, less than the performance goal of 9.7% (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Among HBR patients who were event free before DAPT discontinuation at 1 month, favorable safety and effectiveness through 1 year support treatment with Resolute Onyx drug-eluting stents as part of an individualized strategy for shortened DAPT duration following percutaneous coronary intervention.

AIMS: The aim of the study was to prospectively examine the influence of structural heart disease (SHD) and sinus node dysfunction (SND) on the frequency and duration of atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes in patients with implanted pacemakers. METHODS: We examined episodes of AF in 207 patients (93 with SHD; 165 with SND) with known or suspected paroxysmal AF who underwent dual-chamber pacing. RESULTS: Seventy-one percent of all patients experienced at least one episode of AF during follow-up, with a mean burden of 3.3 +/- 6.4 h/d (median, 0.2 hours) and a mean frequency of 11.7 +/- 26.0 episodes per day (median, 1.4). The proportion of episodes longer than 6 hours was greater in patients with SHD when compared to patients without SHD. In a logistic regression model adjusted for SND, gender, and the 2-way interactions of SND, sex, and SHD, SHD was a significant factor (P = .0188) with the odds ratio of having an episode longer than 6 hours 3.4 times higher for patients with SHD than for patients without SHD. Older patients with SHD had less frequent but longer episodes compared to younger patients. In patients without SHD, there was no comparable age difference. Burden, frequency, and average episode length were not influenced by the presence or absence of SND. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with SHD have longer episodes of AF supporting the concept that SHD influences the underlying substrate to favor perpetuation.

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a common medical problem with significant morbidity and mortality. Recently, device-based therapy, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and combined CRT and ICD have become established therapies in patients with HF receiving standard medical therapy. Contemporary implantable devices are able to continuously monitor, store, and display long-term diagnostic information. Daily diagnostic information includes intrathoracic impedance, patient activity, hours spent in atrial tachycardia/fibrillation, ventricular rate during atrial tachycardia/fibrillation, ventricular tachyarrhythmia episodes, ICD shocks, day and night heart rate, and heart rate variability. METHODS: PARTNERS HF is a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter observational study. Patient data are collected at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Our objectives are to assess the relationship between the (1) diagnostic data and HF-related events, (2) diagnostic data and HF-related health care utilizations, and (3) OptiVol (Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, MN) fluid monitoring diagnostic data and clinically relevant pulmonary congestion events in a subset of patients. The study has enrolled 1,024 patients with a commercially available combined CRT and ICD system at 100 sites in the United States. Participants will be followed for 1 year. RESULTS: Enrollment was completed in January 2007. Key baseline characteristics include the following: mean age of 68.4+/-10.8 years, 32% female, 13% people of color, 64% with ischemic HF, and >80% of patients reported to be on recommended HF medications at enrollment. CONCLUSIONS: The results of PARTNERS HF could help identify device diagnostic information that may provide an early recognition of impending HF-related events.

BACKGROUND: Endocarditis has emerged as one of the most concerning adverse outcomes in patients with congenital anomalies involving the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and prosthetic valves. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate rates and potential risk factors for endocarditis after transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in the prospective Melody valve trials. METHODS: All patients in whom a transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) was implanted in the RVOT as part of 3 prospective multicenter studies comprised the analytic cohort. The diagnosis of endocarditis and involvement of the TPV were determined by the implanting investigator. RESULTS: A total of 309 patients underwent transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) and were discharged with a valve in place. The median follow-up duration was 5.1 years, and total observation until study exit was 1,660.3 patient-years. Endocarditis was diagnosed in 46 patients (median 3.1 years after TPVR), and a total of 35 patients were reported to have TPV-related endocarditis (34 at the initial diagnosis, 1 with a second episode). The annualized incidence rate of endocarditis was 3.1% per patient-year and of TPV-related endocarditis was 2.4% per patient-year. At 5 years post-TPVR, freedom from a diagnosis of endocarditis was 89% and freedom from TPV-related endocarditis was 92%. By multivariable analysis, age ≤12 years at implant (hazard ratio: 2.3; 95% confidence interval: 1.2 to 4.4; p = 0.011) and immediate post-implant peak gradient ≥15 mm Hg (2.7; 95% confidence interval: 1.4 to 4.9; p = 0.002) were associated with development of endocarditis and with development of TPV-related endocarditis (age ≤12 years: 2.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.3 to 5.7; p = 0.006; gradient ≥15 mm Hg: 2.6; 95% confidence interval: 1.3 to 5.2; p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Endocarditis is an important adverse outcome following TVPR in children and adults with post-operative congenital heart disease involving the RVOT. Ongoing efforts to understand, prevent, and optimize management of this complication are paramount in making the best use of TPV therapy.

BACKGROUND: Stented bioprosthetic valves (BPVs) are commonly used for surgical pulmonary valve (PV) replacement in postoperative congenital heart disease, but develop structural failure in a time-related fashion. The Melody transcatheter PV (TPV) (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minn) has been used to treat BPV dysfunction, but there have been few studies in this population. METHODS: We performed a retrospective, multicenter study to evaluate Melody valve function in patients who underwent TPV replacement (TPVR) into a dysfunctional pulmonary BPV. RESULTS: One hundred patients who underwent TPVR at 10 centers between January 2010 and June 2015 were enrolled. The median patient age was 22 years (range, 5-79 years), and 32 patients were age <18 years. The underlying diagnosis was tetralogy of Fallot in 80 patients, and moderate or severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) was present in 84%. The TPV was implanted into various types of BPVs, with a median size of 23 mm (range, 19-33 mm). At hospital discharge, PR was mild or less in all but 1 patient, and the mean Doppler right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) gradient was reduced from a mean of 29.3 ± 12.0 mm Hg to 16.2 ± 6.9 mm Hg (median, 29 mm Hg to 16 mm Hg; P < .001). During follow-up (median, 12.4 months), no patients underwent reintervention on the TPV. Endocarditis was diagnosed in 1 patient who was managed medically without intervention. The mean RVOT gradient at the most recent follow-up was ≤35 mm Hg in all patients, and was similar to that at early postimplantation. PR was more than mild in only 1 patient. Hemodynamic outcomes did not differ between patients with small BPVs (≤23 mm) and those with large BPVs (≥25 mm). CONCLUSIONS: TPVR restores competence and relieves the obstruction of dysfunctional surgical BPVs, with excellent early results in both small and large BPVs, highlighting the potential for TPVR to extend the life of existing BPVs in adults and children. Collaboration between surgeons and cardiologists is important to determine the optimal lifetime management, combining surgical PV replacement and TPVR in this population.

AIMS: Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) is used to treat patients with dysfunctional pulmonary valve conduits. Short- and longer-term results from multiple trials have outlined haemodynamic improvements. Our aim was to report the long-term results, including quality of life, from a multicentre trial in Europe and Canada. METHODS AND RESULTS: From October 2007 to April 2009, 71 patients (24 female; median age 19.0 [IQR: 14.0 to 25.0] years) were enrolled in a prospective cohort study. PPVI was performed successfully in 63 patients. At five-year follow-up four patients had died. Moderate and severe pulmonary regurgitation were completely resolved in all except one patient, who needed re-PPVI. Outflow tract obstruction improved significantly from a mean pressure gradient of 37.7±12.1 mmHg before PPVI to 17.3±9.7 mmHg at five-year follow-up; however, 11 patients needed treatment for restenosis. The EQ-5D quality of life utility index and visual analogue scale scores were both significantly improved six months post PPVI and remained so at five years. CONCLUSIONS: Five-year results following PPVI demonstrate resolved moderate or severe pulmonary regurgitation, improved right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and improved quality of life.

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to obtain in vivo data to confirm assumptions on device loading conditions and assess procedural feasibility, safety, and valve performance. BACKGROUND: The Harmony transcatheter pulmonary valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) was designed for patients with severe pulmonary regurgitation who require pulmonary valve replacement. METHODS: Three sites participated in this first Food and Drug Administration-approved early feasibility study using an innovative device design to accommodate the complex anatomy of the right ventricular outflow tract. Potentially eligible patients underwent review by a screening committee to determine implant eligibility. Six-month outcomes are reported. RESULTS: Between May 2013 and May 2015, 66 subjects were enrolled, and 21 were approved for implant and underwent catheterization; 20 were implanted. Catheterized patients had a median age of 25 years, were predominantly diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot (95%), had severe pulmonary regurgitation (95%), and had trivial or mild stenosis. The device was delivered in the desired location in 19 of 20 (95%) patients. Proximal migration occurred in 1 patient during delivery system removal. Two devices were surgically explanted. Premature ventricular contractions related to the procedure were reported in 3 patients; 2 were resolved without treatment. One patient had ventricular arrhythmias that required treatment and later were resolved. At 1 month, echocardiography revealed none or trivial pulmonary regurgitation in all and a mean right ventricular outflow tract gradient of 16 ± 8 mm Hg (range 6 to 31 mm Hg). CONCLUSIONS: In this feasibility study of the Harmony transcatheter pulmonary valve device, there was high procedural success and safety, and favorable acute device performance.

The time to the first recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the AF burden have commonly been used as end points for AF therapy. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from a large pacemaker registry to assess the relation between the time to the first recurrence and the AF burden. Although a statistical association exists, the small correlation coefficients limit the clinical value of the time to first recurrence as an indicator of AF burden.

INTRODUCTION: The Selection AFm Registry investigated the impact of pacemaker diagnostic data on the clinical management of patients with atrial arrhythmias, specifically atrial fibrillation (AF) through the use of advanced atrial arrhythmia monitoring features. Very few data on the clinical impact of such data has been reported in a real world setting. METHODS: Patients with known or suspected AF with a Class I or Class II indication for a dual-chamber pacemaker received the Selection AFm pacemaker. These patients were prospectively followed at pacemaker follow-up visits, and data were collected on medications and device programming. Physicians identified which therapy changes were based upon the stored data within the pacemaker. RESULTS: Two hundred eighty-two patients were enrolled. A total of 119 patients had 311 changes made to either their medications or device programming after review of diagnostic pacemaker data. Changes involved rate and rhythm control, warfarin anticoagulation, and pacemaker programmed settings. Significantly, more changes were made in patients with documented atrial arrhythmias at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The atrial arrhythmia recording features were used by clinicians to guide therapy-related decisions in patients with paroxysmal AF. Such data represent an additional source of clinical information for AF disease management.
