ABSTRACT

@#Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation (MR) is known as M-TEER. Its strengths include: precise targets and fewer implants; simple and clear principles for catheterization; originating from dependable medical concepts and broad applicability. Furthermore, TEER offers advantages in real-time hemodynamic and effectiveness measurement throughout the procedure over surgical edge-to-edge repair (SEER). When it comes to patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation , M-TEER should aim to deliver more optimum procedural outcomes. In functional mitral regurgitation, a modest transvalvular gradients or moderate residual shunt can be tolerated with M-TEER, which reduces the risk of problems and has no bearing on the patient's prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention is the new frontier of interventional cardiology. The LuX-Valve is a radial force-independent orthotopic tricuspid valve replacement device developed in China. The LuX-Valve Plus transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) system is changed from the trans-atrial to the transjugular approach, which further reduces trauma and pulmonary complications compared with the first generation LuX-Valve. The first-in-human study has been completed at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University and an exploratory multicentre clinical study is underway. Echocardiography plays an important role in pre-TTVR screening, intraoperative guidance and postoperative evaluation and follow-up, especially two-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (2D-TEE) and three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE). However, there is a lack of appropriate intraoperative guidance and assessment protocols. In this study, we briefly described the protocols and imaging considerations for intraoperative 2D-TEE and 3D-TEE to ensure the successful implantation of TTVR.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To study the hemocompatibility of bioprosthetic heart valve materials respectively based on glutaraldehyde and non-glutaraldehyde treatment. Methods    Fresh bovine pericardium was treated with glutaraldehyde or non-glutaraldehyde after adipose tissue was removed. To evaluate the hemocompatibility of the two bioprosthetic heart valve materials, hemolysis test, in vitro fibrinogen adsorption experiment, platelet adhesion experiment, thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT) test, complement activation assay and ex vivo circulation experiment were performed. Results    The hemolysis test results demonstrated that both of the materials showed hemolytic rates lower than 5%. The results of TAT test and complement activation assay showed no statistical differences among the two materials and the blank control group. Compared to the bioprosthetic heart valve materials with glutaraldehyde-based treatment, the materials with non-glutaraldehyde-based treatment showed significantly decreased fibrinogen adsorption, platelet adhesion and thrombosis. Conclusion    Compared to the bioprosthetic heart valve materials with glutaraldehyde-based treatment, the materials with non-glutaraldehyde-based treatment show better hemocompatibility.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To study the biocompatibility of bioprosthetic heart valve material with a non-glutaraldehyde-based treatment, and to provide the safety data for the clinical application. Methods    All the tests were conducted according to GB/T16886 standards. The in vitro cytotoxicity was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. Fifteen guinea pigs were divided into a test group (n=10) and a control group (n=5) in the skin sensitization test. Three New Zealand white rabbits were used in the intradermal reactivity test. Five sites on both sides of the rabbit back were set as test sites and control sites, respectively. In the acute systemic toxicity test, a total of 20 ICR mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups: a test group (polar medium), a control group (polar medium), a test group (non-polar medium) and a control group (non-polar medium), 5 in each group. Forty SD rats were divided into a test group (n=20) and a control group (n=20) in the subchronic systemic toxicity test. Results    The viability of the 100% extracts of the bioprosthetic heart valve material with a non-glutaraldehyde-based treatment was 75.2%. The rate of positive reaction was 0.0%. The total intradermal reactivity test score was 0. There was no statistical difference in the body weight between the test group and control group in the acute systemic toxicity test. There was no statistical difference in the body weight, organ weight, organ weight/body weight ratio, blood routine test or blood biochemistry between the test group and control group in the subchronic systemic toxicity test. Conclusion    The bioprosthetic heart valve material with a non-glutaraldehyde-based treatment has satisfying biocompatibility, which conforms to relevant national standards. The material might be a promising material for application in valve replacement.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective     To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using the SAPIEN 3 system. Methods    This was a prospective, multicenter, single arm study in 4 centers in China. The clinical data of 50 patients with high-risk symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR using the SAPIEN 3 system from June 2017 to June 2019 were analyzed, including 27 males and 23 females aged 76.8±6.1 years. Results    The Society of Thoracic Surgeon score was 6.0%±2.8%. Totally, 20.0% of patients had severe bicuspid aortic stenosis. The operation time was 41.8±16.5 min and the hospital stay time was 8.5±5.0 d. At the postoperative 30-day follow-up, no all-cause mortality occurred and the device success rate was 89.5%. Major vascular complications occurred in one (2.0%) patient,  stroke in one (2.0%) patient, new pacemaker implantation in one (2.0%) patient, as well as coronary artery obstruction in one (2.0%) patient. There was no moderate or moderate/severe paravalvular leak. The aortic pressure gradient was decreased from 49.2±16.2 mm Hg before the operation to 12.4±4.6 mm Hg at the postoperative 30-day follow-up, and the valvular area was increased from 0.6±0.3 cm2 to 1.3±0.3 cm2 (P<0.01). Moreover, the New York Heart Association classification in 83.7% of the patients was improved during the follow-up. Conclusion    This pre-marketing multicenter study has demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of transfemoral TAVR with the SAPIEN 3 transcatheter valve system in Chinese aortic stenosis patients at high risk for surgery.

ABSTRACT

@#Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) originated from surgical edge-to-edge repair. MitraClip is the first mature TEER device, and the TEER based on MitraClip is far ahead of many transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) technologies in terms of safety, effectiveness and popularity, so it is named separately in the latest guidelines. The TEER has the following advantages: consistent with basic medical principles, few implants, precise target, less invasive and repeatable. However, there are also some shortcomings, such as the relatively complex design of transfemoral device, target single and relatively narrow indications. At present, the main clinical data of TEER are mainly from the clinical practice of MitraClip. Based on the three-year outcomes of COAPT study, both 2020 ACC/AHA guideline and 2020 ACC expert consensus decision pathway on the management of mitral regurgitation recommend in patients with chronic heart failure with left ventricular dysfunction and severe mitral regurgitation in nonresponders to medicine treatment. Edward's PASCAL, another TEER device, has two models. Among the domestic TEER devices, the ValveClamp of Hanyu medical technology has many distinct advantages, such as simple operation, large clamping area, high clamping efficiency and no need of X-ray. DragonFly, another domestic TEER device, has also completed its feasibility study. There are five trends of TEER in the future: further expansion of indications, combination with other interventional techniques, repeatable operations, transcatheter mitral valve replacement after TEER, and continuous improvement and innovation of equipment.

ABSTRACT

@#In 2020, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus epidemic, the development of transcatheter heart valve therapy has been shown to slow down, but there are still many aspects worth noting. The indication of monoclonal antibody after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) should be further clarified. Low surgical risk patients were included in TAVR relative indications. Mitraclip G4 was approved by CE. The indication of atrial septal occlusion after mitraclip should be further clarified. The technique of coaptation augmentation is expected to become a new method of mitral valve interventional repair. Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve was approved by European Union. Transcatheter tricuspid valve treatment equipments, TriClip and PASCAL obtained CE mark. TAVR technology is being popularized rapidly in China, and what’s more, balloon dilated valve Sapien 3 and new recyclable repositioning valve system-Venus plus have entered the domestic market. A number of mitral valve therapeutic instruments have appeared one after another, and China's first tricuspid valve lux has completed its FIM research. Finally, with the improvement of devices and technology in the future, interventional therapy of heart valve is expected to benefit more patients.

ABSTRACT

@#Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common heart valve disease. In recent years, the rise of interventional therapy has expanded the indications of interventional treatment for patients with MR, but the epidemiological characteristics of MR (especially the number of patients with MR requiring treatment) in China are still unclear. In this paper, we analyzed and estimated the number of MR patients in China based on three epidemiological studies in Europe and America, and referring to the patients population surveys from Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to聽Fudan University, the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Beijing Fuwai Hospital. Our analysis estimated that about 7.5 million patients with MR need intervention in China, including about 5.5 million patients with severe MR.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the effects of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 130 patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, who underwent TAVR in our hospital with self-expanding valve between January 1,2010 and October 30, 2016, were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAS) group (112 cases) and non-calcific aortic valve stenosis (NCAS) group (18 cases) according to 3D volume-rendering reconstruction under multiple detector computed tomography before TAVR. The baseline clinical features, imageology results, procedural details, and clinical prognosis were compared between the 2 groups.@*Results@#(1) Compared with CAS group, the patients in NCAS group were younger, had higher proportion of rheumatic heart disease, and less proportion of bicuspid aortic valve morphology (P<0.01 or 0.05). Except for minimum value of sinotubular junction (P=0.017), there were no significant differences in multiple detector computed tomography measurements of aortic valve annulus and aortic root structure between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). (2) Compared with CAS group, the proportions of valve release under rapid pacing and oversized valve release were larger than pre-procedural evaluation, and the proportion of post-dilation was lower in NCAS group (P<0.01 or 0.05). (3) Post-procedural transthoracic echocardiography revealed that left ventricular ejection fraction was higher than baseline level in CAS group (P<0.001), while which was similar in NCAS group (P=0.552). Compared with before TAVR, mean pressure gradient and maximum transvalvular velocity were significantly reduced, aortic valve orifice area was significantly increased, and proportion of moderate to severe aortic regurgitation was significantly reduced after the procedure in both groups (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction, mean pressure gradient, maximum transvalvular velocity, aortic valve orifice area, and proportion of moderate to severe aortic regurgitation after TAVR between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). (4) There were no significant differences in successful rate of device placement and cardiovascular related death within 30 days after TAVR between the 2 groups (105/112 vs. 17/18, P=0.909; 3/112 vs. 1/18, P=0.453, respectively).@*Conclusion@#TAVR is safe and effective for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of real-time three-dimensional intraoperative epicardial echocardiography ( RT-3D IEE) in the process of transapical mitral valve repair and a new device's efficacy in an animal model . Methods Acute mitral regurgitation ( MR) was induced in 18 anesthetized domestic pigs as MR group by cutting chordae supporting the segment of the leaflet ( A2 , n = 9 ; P2 , n = 8 ;P3 , n = 1) ,while 15 pigs received no cutting chordae were chosed as normal mitral valve ( NMV ) group . The ValveClamp procedures were then transapically performed either on the prolapsing segment ( MR group) or A2/ P2 segment ( NMV group ) respectively solely under 3D epicardial echocardiographic guidance . Epicardial echocardiography was obtained before and after transcatheter interventions . Thirty days later all pigs were humanely killed to verify the location of implanted devices . Results In normal group , the preoperative max and mean mitral valve pressure gradient was higher than postoperative those ( P < 0 .0001) ,and no significant difference was found in other echocardiographic parameters . In MR group , the preoperative echocardiography showed that cutting the leaflet chordae caused severe ( n = 15 ) or moderate( n = 3) MR ,while postoperative immediate echo observed overt MR area reduction( P < 0 .0001) with 8 cases to slight ,5 cases to mild and 1 case eliminated .Furthermore ,the mean postoperative and max mitral valve pressure gradient significantly increased both in two groups ( P < 0 .0001 ) ,whereas no complications or other structural changes were observed ( P > 0 .05) .The autopsy report demonstrated that all ValveClamp devices were precisely placed to clamp either the prolapsing segments (MR group) of mitral valve or A2/P2 segments (NMV group) ,respectively .Conclusions Real-time three-dimensional epicardial echocardiography can independently monitor the new transcatheter mitral repair technique-ValveClamp , facilitating the overall procedure . Transapical implantation of ValveClamp device under epicardial echocardiographic guidance is effective in reducing acutely induced mitral regurgitation .

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR) through transcarotid approach for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 9 symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis patients who had high or prohibitive risk for surgery and not suitable for TAVR through femoral artery access,and thus received TAVR through transcarotid approach in our hospital from November 2015 to February 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were followed up to observe the safety and efficacy of the procedure.@*Results@#There were 4 male and 5 female patients in this cohort, and age was (75.7±8.7) years old. The Society of Thoracic Surgery (STS) scores were (7.9±1.6)%. All patients were treated by left carotid artery approach. One patient experienced valve dislodgement during the procedure and received surgery, and TAVR procedure was successful in the rest 8 patients. Two patients were implanted with permanent pacemaker because of third degree atrioventricular block during the procedure.One patient had cardiac arrest during the procedure and recovered after external chest compression.One patient developed severe carotid stenosis,and there was no clinical manifestation of nerve function deficit after the procedure. All patients were followed up at (30±3) days after the procedure, and there were no adverse events. The modified Rankin scale score was 0. Echocardiography examination showed that the tranvalvular mean gradient was reduced from (63.0±19.2)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) on baseline to (18.1±4.9)mmHg(P<0.001), 4 cases had mild paravalvular leakage, and there was no moderate or severe paravalvular leakage.The NYHA classes was significantly improved at 30 days when compared with before the procedure(2 cases class Ⅱ, 4 cases class Ⅲ,3 cases class Ⅳ before the procedure,and 5 cases classⅠ, 4 cases class Ⅱ after the procedure, P=0.006) , and left ventricular ejection fraction increased from (55.9±13.1)% to (60.4±10.0)% (P=0.030).@*Conclusion@#Our initial experience indicates that transcarotid TAVR is safe and effective for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the impact of individualized occluder application on efficacy and complications of transcatheter closure treatment for multi-feneatrated atrial septal defects (mfASD).Methods Seventy six patients with mfASD who were hospitalized at Fudan University Zhongshan Hospital from July 2006 to July 2015 were retrospectively enrolled.Clinical and follow-up data were collected and analyzed.Results Among the 76 patients including 18 males and 58 females,transcatheter closure was successfully performed in 73 patients (96.1%).The morphological features of ASD included: 60 cases (78.9%) with two defects and 16 cases (21.1%) with cribriform defects, 3 cases (3.9%) combined with patent foramen ovale (PFO),13 cases (17.1%) with atrial septal aneurysm (ASA).Dual occluders were used for closure in 26 patients (35.6%),while single occluder was implanted in 47 patients (64.4%).In single-occluder group,measuring balloon was used to assist occlusion in 7 patients (14.9%).3 patients versus 11 patients required the small-waist-big-edge occluders in the dual-occluder group and the single-occluder group respectively (11.5% vs.23.4%, P=0.352).The complication rate in the dual-occluders group was higher than that in the single-occluder group (19.2% vs.4.3%, P=0.037),while the incidence of residual shunt showed no significant difference between these two groups (11.5% vs.10.6%, P=0.906).Conclusions The occluder for transcatheter closure of multiple atrial septal defects needs to be individually chosen according to the morphological characters.Transcatheter closure of mfASD using two devices is feasible,safe and effective for selected patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To analyze the pulmonary valve function in patients with tetralogy of Fallot after radical surgery.@*Methods@#Clinical data of 263 patients (119 male, mean age (33.2±11.5) years old) with tetralogy of Fallot underwent radical surgery in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. According to age, patients were divided into 14-17 years old group (14 cases), 18-29 years old group (100 cases), 30-39 years old group (61 cases) and above 40 years old group (87 cases). The patients were divided into pulmonary regurgitation group (87 cases) and control group (176 cases) according to weather they have moderate or severe pulmonary regurgitation. Echocardiographic data were compared among groups.@*Results@#A total of 83 patients received re-operation. The median age of the primary radical operation was 9 (5, 13) years, and the median time from the primary radical operation to echocardiographic follow-up was 5 (1, 13) years. Among the 263 enrolled patients, prevalence of pulmonary regurgitation was 36.1% (95/263), and pulmonary stenosis was evidenced in 28 patients (10.6%). The ratio of moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation was 14.3% (2/14), 27.0% (27/100), 32.8% (20/61) and 37.9% (33/87) in 14-17 years old group, 18-29 years old group, 30-39 years old group and above 40 years old group, respectively (P=0.029), while prevalence of moderate and severe pulmonary regurgitation, moderate and severe pulmonary valve stenosis, pulmonary valve transvalvular pressure >40 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), right atrial and right ventricular enlargement ratio were similar among groups (all P>0.05). The ratio of moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular enlargement in the pulmonary regurgitation group was significantly higher than in the control group (40.2% (35/87) vs. 27.3% (48/176) and 96.6% (84/87) vs. 87.5% (154/176), all P<0.05), while left ventricular ejection fraction, right atrial enlargement, and right ventricular wall thickness were similar between the two groups (all P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Pulmonary regurgitation is a common clinical feature among survivors of tetralogy of Fallot patients after radical surgery, and moderate to severe pulmonary regurgitation increases the risk of tricuspid regurgitation and enlargement of the right ventricle.

Results The minimal diameter ,maximum diameter , perimeter ,area of the aortic ring measured by 3DTTE showed a close correlation and a strong consistency with those measured by CT [ r = 0 .88 , P < 0 .0001 ,ICC = 0 .928 (0 .788 - 0 .976) ; r = 0 .81 , P = 0 .0003 , ICC = 0 .890 ( 0 .673 - 0 .963) , r = 0 .85 , P = 0 .0001 ,ICC = 0 .914 ( 0 .744 - 0 .971) ; r = 0 .88 , P <0 .0001 ,ICC = 0 .932 (0 .799 - 0 .977) ] .The ostium height of the left and right coronary arteries measured by 3DTEE also showed a close correlation and a strong consistency with those measured by MDCT [ r =0 .87 , P < 0 .0001 ,ICC = 0 .923 ( 0 .777 - 0 .975) ; r = 0 .82 , P < 0 .0002 ,ICC = 0 .897 ( 0 .693 - 0 .965) ] . Besides ,inter-observer and intra-observer reproducibility for 3DTEE measurement data were very good . Conclusions 3DTEE has a high repeatability in evaluating minimal diameter , maximum diameter , perimeter ,area of the aortic ring and the height of coronary ostium ,which also shows good correlation with those measured by CT .
