ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relevant factors of new-onset conduction disturbance(NOCD)after transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR),such as anatomical structure,device type,surgical strategies,etc.,discover relevant predictive factors,and establish a predictive model to assess the risk of conduction blockages.Methods From January 2016 to March 2022,clinical data of symptomatic patients with severe aortic valve stenosis or severe regurgitation who underwent TAVR at Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University were collected through the hospital information system and imaging database.ECG,echocardiography,CTA,surgical materials,etc.,were extracted and analyzed by specialists.SPSS software was used for statistical analysis,and a multi-factor regression prediction model for NOCDwas built.Results A total of 184 patients were included,the occurrence rate of NOCD after TAVR was 31.0%,pure regurgitation patients'NOCD occurrence rate was 63.6%(7/11).The NOCD group had a larger aortic angles[(57.7±10.3)°vs.(52.0±9.0)°,P＜0.001],larger Oversizing[(129±28)%vs.(120±21)%,P=0.018],deeper implantation depth[(7.2±5.1)mm vs.(4.8±4.2)mm,P=0.001],and higher pure regurgitation patients'proportion[12.3%vs.3.1%,P=0.037]than the non-NOCD group.Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis indicated that an aorta angle＞54.5°(OR 3.78,95%CI 1.86-7.63,P＜0.001)or implantation depth＞5.7 mm(OR 3.39,95%CI 1.68-6.85,P＜0.001)are independent risk factors for new onset conduction disturbances after TAVR,and a predictive model was established with aortic angle,implantation depth,and Oversizing ratio as variables.The receiver operating characteristics curve showed area under ROC curve 0.709,95%CI 0.623-0.795,predicting NOCD after TAVR.Conclusions A retrospective analysis carried out at a single center discovered that the aortic angle in the NOCD group was larger than that in the non-NOCD group,the Oversizing ratio was higher,the implantation location was deeper,and there was a higher proportion of patients with pure regurgitation lesions.An aortic angle greater than 54.5°or an implantation depth more than 5.7 mm were identified as independent risk factors for NOCD after TAVR.
