ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: ANTECEDENTES: La valvuloplastía aórtica es un procedimiento paliativo o como puente al reemplazo aórtico percutáneo o quirúrgico. Nuestro abordaje incluye una técnica minimalista y la utilización de balones de mayor tamaño que lo estándar. OBJETIVO: Evaluar los resultados clínicos inmediatos y alejados de pacientes tratados mediante esta técnica modificada. MÉTODOS: Se incluyó a todos los pacientes sometidos a balonplastía aórtica entre Julio del 2012 y Agosto del 2019 en nuestro centro. El procedimiento se realizó bajo sedación consciente mediante un único acceso femoral y sin instalación de un marcapasos transitorio. El éxito de la intervención se definió como caída de gradiente basal en 50% o más en ausencia de complicación mayor. RESULTADOS: Se realizaron un total de 52 procedimientos en 49 pacientes. La edad promedio fue 76 ± 9,9 años. Un tercio de los pacientes tenía una fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo ≤35% y similar proporción tenía un perfil de riesgo STS score > 10 puntos. La duración total promedio fue de 31,1 + 10,0 min. Se utilizó un balón #28 en el 84.6% de los casos. El éxito del procedimiento se alcanzó en 94,2% de los casos. Ocurrieron 2 muertes intraoperatorias (3,9%), ambas en pacientes de muy alto riesgo y 2 (3,9%) complicaciones vasculares mayores. La sobreviva en el seguimiento alejado fue 32,7%. CONCLUSIÓN: La valvuloplastia aórtica percutánea con técnica modificada, utilizando balones de mayor tamaño que lo habitual, es una técnica segura que logra óptimos resultados hemodinámicos.


ABSTRACT: Aortic balloon valvuloplasty (ABV) is a palliative procedure or a bridge to percutaneous or surgical aortic valve replacement. Our group proposes a minimalist approach that reduces the use of resources and also stands out for using larger balloons. AIM: To assess the safety and the immediate results of patients undergoing aortic balloon valvuloplasty using a minimally invasive procedure. METHODS: All patients who underwent ballon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) between July 2012 and Au- gust 2019 were included. The procedure was performed under conscious sedation using a single femoral access and without the installation of a temporary pacemaker. Success was defined as a 50% drop in the mean aortic gradient plus the absence of major complications. RESULTS: 52 procedures in 49 patients were performed; the average age was 76 ± 9,9 years. A third of patients included had a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35% and a similar proportion had a high risk profile with an STS score> 10 points. A 28 mm balloon was used in 84.6% of cases. The procedure was successful in 94,2% of cases. There were 2 (3,85%) intraoperative deaths in very high-risk patients and 2 (3,85%) major vascular complications. The survival rate at late follow up was 32,7%. CONCLUSION: Aortic balloon valvuloplasty with a minimally invasive technique using larger than usual balloons is a safe technique that achieves optimal hemodynamic results.

ABSTRACT

Fundamentos: A valvoplastia mitral por cateter-balão foi introduzida em 1984 por Inoue e colaboradores, e atualmente é considerada o método de eleição no tratamento da estenose mitral. Objetivo: Comparar resultados de valvoplastia mitral em pacientes com estenose mitral com comprometimento subvalvar ≥3 e <3. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo com 104 pacientes submetidos à valvoplastia mitral com balão de Inoue. Os pacientes foram estratificados em dois grupos: com comprometimento subvalvar (ASV) ≥3 e ASV <3. Realizada a comparação dos resultados imediatos, aos 12 meses e aos 24 ou mais meses entre os grupos com os dados obtidos por estudo ecocardiográfico e hemodinâmico. Resultados: Os resultados imediatos mostraram sucesso nos dois grupos, com significância estatística pré/pós procedimento, quanto aos parâmetros ecocardiográficos e hemodinâmicos, e ausência de diferenças significativas entre os grupos. Os resultados ecocardiográficos aos 12 meses evidenciaram que o gradiente médio e a área valvar foram semelhantes e sem significância estatística entre os grupos, o mesmo a correndo na comparação dos resultados ecocardiográficos aos 24 ou mais meses. Conclusão: Os resultados obtidos com a valvoplastia mitral com o balão de Inoue não diferiram tanto nos pacientes com comprometimento do aparelho subvalvar ≥3 quanto <3.


Background: Balloon mitral valvuloplasty was introduced in 1984 by Inoue et al and is currently considered the method of choice in the treatment of mitral stenosis. Objective: To compare results of mitral valvuloplasty in patients with mitral stenosis with subvalvular impairment ≥3 and <3. Methods: Retrospective study with 104 patients undergoing mitral valvuloplasty with Inoue balloon. Patients were stratified into two groups: subvalvular impairment (SVI) ≥3 and SVI <3. The immediate results were compared at 12 months and 24 months or more between the groups with data obtained by echocardiography and hemodynamic study. Results: The immediate results revealed success in both groups, with statistical significance pre/post-procedure regarding the echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters and no significant differences between groups. Echocardiographic results at 12 months showed that the mean gradient and the valve area were similar and not statistically significant between the groups, the same occurring in the comparison of echocardiographic results at 24 or more months. Conclusion: The results obtained with mitral valvuloplasty with Inoue balloon did not differ both in patients with subvalvular impairment ≥3 and <3.

ABSTRACT

AbstractObjective:The aim of the current study was to evaluate the early experience of the application of transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the balloon-expandable system in China. The transcatheter aortic valve implantation technology has been widely used for patients with inoperable severe aortic stenosis in the developed world. The application of transcatheter aortic valve implantation is still in the early stages of testing in China, particularly for the balloon-expandable valve procedure.Methods:This was a retrospective study. All patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation with balloon-expandable system in our hospital between 2011 and 2014 were included. Edwards SAPIEN XT Transcatheter Heart Valve was used. The improvement of valve and heart function was evaluated as well as 30-day mortality and major complications according to the VARC-2 definition.Results:A total of 10 transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedures with the balloon-expandable system were performed in our hospital, of which 9 were transfemoral and 1 was transapical. The median age was 76 years, and the median STS score and Logistic EuroSCORE (%) were 8.9 and 16.2. The implantation was successfully conducted in all patients, only 2 patients had mild paravalvular leak. There was no second valve implantation. Moreover, no 30-day mortality or complications was reported. Following the transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure, the heart and valve functions had improved significantly. During the follow-up period of 3-34 months, one patient died of lung cancer 13 months after the operation.Conclusion:This early experience has provided preliminary evidence for the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure with the balloon-expandable system in the developing world with an increasing aging population.

ABSTRACT

A valvoplastia mitral percutânea é o tratamento de escolha da estenose mitral reumática comanatomia favorável, por sua capacidade de prevenir complicações inerentes ao tratamento cirúrgico e com manutenção da eficácia. Faz-se necessário promover comparações entre os resultados obtidos com o procedimento por centros de referência e alta drenagem de pacientes e por instituições de menor volume e casuística, sendo este o objetivo principal deste estudo. Métodos: Foram analisados 31 pacientes consecutivos submetidos à valvoplastia mitral percutânea no período de setembro de 2006 a janeiro de 2015. Avaliaram-se o sucesso imediato do procedimento e a sobrevida livre de eventos tardios, definidos como morte cardiovascular ou necessidade de novaintervenção valvar mitral. Resultados: A média de idade foi de 40,9 ± 14,2 anos, com predomínio do sexo feminino (96,8%). O escore médio de Wilkins e Block foi de 8,1 ± 1,2. A totalidade dos procedimentos foi efetivada pela técnica de Inoue, com taxa de sucesso imediato de 90,3%. Em acompanhamento médio de 6,8 ± 2,5 anos, foram constatadossete eventos (22,6%), sendo dois óbitos de etiologia cardiovascular, quatro cirurgias de troca valvar mitral e uma comissurotomia mitral. Conclusões: Em um hospital com volume intermediário de procedimentos, os resultados da valvoplastia mitral percutânea no tratamento da estenose mitral reumática com anatomia favorável foram comparáveis àqueles alcançados por centros de alto referenciamento...


Background: Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty is the treatment of choice for rheumatic mitral stenosis with favorable anatomy, for its ability to prevent complications inherent to a surgical procedure, while maintaining effectiveness. It is necessary to promote comparisons between the results obtained by the procedure performed at referral centers with high patient inflow and at institutions with lower volume and fewer patients, which represents the main objective of this study. Methods: Thirty-one consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty were analyzed from September 2006 to January 2015. Immediate procedural success and late event-free survival rates were evaluated, defined as cardiovascular death or need for a new mitral valve intervention. Results: The mean age was 40.9 ± 14.2 years, with a predominance of females (96.8%). The mean Wilkinsand Block score was 8.1 ± 1.2. All procedures were performed using the Inoue technique, with na immediate success rate of 90.3%. At mean follow-up of 6.8 ± 2.5 years, seven events (22.6%) were observed: two cardiovascular deaths, four surgeries for mitral valve replacement, and one mitral commissurotomy Conclusions: In a hospital with intermediate procedure volume, the results of percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty in the treatment of rheumatic mitral stenosis with favorable anatomy were comparable to those achieved by high-volume centers...

ABSTRACT

Background: Mitral balloon valvuloplasty (MBV) is the therapy of choice for the treatment of symptomatic mitral stenosis with suitable anatomy. Although its short and mid-term results are favorable, there is a paucity of information about long-term follow-up. Aim: To assess the late results of MBV. Material and Methods: A cohort of 225 patients aged 8 to 20 years who were subjected to a MBV from 1989 to 2001, was studied. All variables at the time of the procedure, short and long-term results and major events during follow-up (new mitral intervention and mortality) were recorded. Uni and multivariate analysis were used to assess prognosis. Results: The mean follow-up lapse was 13.5 years (range 8 to 20 years). During this period, 88 patients (39.1%) remained event-free and in acceptable functional capacity. Eight percent died, 8% required a second MBV and 43.5% required a surgical mitral valve replacement. A post-procedural area equal or greater to 1.9 cm² was associated with a greater likelihood of free-event survival (log rank test: p = 0.02/Cox proportional regression model: coefficient 0.54, p = 0.04). Conclusions: MBV is effective, although there is a high chance of new interventions in the long-term follow-up. A larger post-procedure mitral area is associated with a better prognosis.

ABSTRACT

A estenose aórtica degenerativa é a doença valvar adquirida mais comum em adultos, acometendo principalmente os idosos. A cirurgia de substituição da valva aórtica é o tratamento de escolha nos pacientes com estenose aórtica importante sintomática. Seus resultados são reproduzíveis e bem estabelecidos. Porém, cerca de um terço dos pacientes são considerados inoperáveis devido ao risco cirúrgico inaceitável. Em consequência, nos últimos anos, novas alternativas de tratamento intervencionista foram introduzidas na prática clínica, com resultados iniciais favoráveis. Atualmente, as opções englobam a cirurgia de troca da valva aórtica, o implante da valva aórtica transcateter e, mais recentemente, a cirurgia de troca valvar aórtica sem sutura. Técnicas cirúrgicas minimamente invasivas não demonstraram diferença na mortalidade, porém chamam a atenção pelo resultado similar à esternotomia clássica, melhor resultado estético e menor tempo de hospitalização. Além disso, para evitar a utilização de próteses, técnicas de reconstrução valvar têm sido descritas. No implante de valva transcateter, o treinamento de equipe multidisciplinar é mandatório para a criteriosa seleção dos pacientes e da via de acesso. Os acessos transapical e transaórtico evoluíram como opções eficazes e vantajosas nos pacientes não candidatos para a via femoral. A familiaridade dos cirurgiões com essas abordagens tem contribuído para os bons resultados descritos. Um centro que seja capaz de oferecer todas essas alternativas de tratamento poderá selecionar a técnica mais apropriada, considerando a preferência do paciente e avaliando características fundamentais como idade, comorbidades, fragilidade e anatomia. Experiente "Heart Team" será capaz de fazer a escolha mais adequada.


Degenerative aortic stenosis is the most common acquired valvular disease in adults, affecting mainly the elderly. Surgical aortic valve replacement is the treatment of choice in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Its results are reproducible and well established. However, about one third of patients are considered inoperable because of unacceptable surgical risk. Therefore, in the past few years, new alternative interventional treatments were introduced in clinical practice, with favorable initial results. Currently, the options include surgical aortic valve replacement, transcatheter aortic valve implantation and more recently, sutureless aortic valve replacement. Minimally invasive surgical techniques showed no difference in mortality, but caIl attention for similar result to the classic sternotomy, better cosmetic effect and shorter length of hospital stay. Furthermore, to avoid the use of prostheses, valve reconstruction techniques have been described. In transcatheter valve implantation, training multidisciplinary team is mandatory for careful selection of patients and access routes. The transapical and transaortic approaches evolved as effective and advantageous options in patients not candidates for transfemoral access. The familiarity of surgeons with these routes has contributed to the good results described. A center that is able to offer ali of these therapeutic alternatives can select the most appropriate technique, considering the patient' s preferences and evaluating crucial characteristics such as age, comorbidities, frailty and anatomy. An experienced "Heart Team" will be able to make the most adequate choice.

ABSTRACT

A estenose aórtica é a doença vaI var cardíaca mais comum. Sua prevalência aumenta com a idade, afetando aproximadamente 3% da população com idade superior a 75 anos. Há décadas, a substituição cirúrgica da valva aórtica é o tratamento de eleição para pacientes com estenose aórtica importante sintomática, propiciando alívio dos sintomas e aumento da sobrevida. Entretanto, o risco cirúrgico aumenta com o avançar da idade e com a associação de comorbidades, o que faz com que mais de 1/3 dos idosos com estenose aórtica sintomática sejam recusados para a cirurgia. Frente a essa necessidade, Alan Cribier, em 2002, realizou o primeiro implante percutâneo de uma bioprótese valvar aórtica em seres humanos. No Brasil, a experiência com o implante valvar aórtico por cateter iniciou- se em janeiro de 2008, com a aprovação e disponibilidade do sistema CoreValve. Para avaliar os resultados desta nova modalidade de tratamento em nosso meio, a Sociedade Brasileira de Hemodinâmica e Cardiologia Intervencionista criou o Registro Brasileiro de Implante de Bioprótese Valvar Aórtica por Cateter. As evidências clínicas, empregando as próteses expansível por balão Sapien (Edwards Lifesciences) e autoexpansível CoreValve (Medtronic), indicam tratar-se de um procedimento seguro e altamente eficaz em pacientes selecionados. Atualmente, o implante de bioprótese aórtica por cateter é considerado a terapia de escolha para pacientes com estenose aórtica importante considerados inoperáveis e uma alternativa menos invasiva à cirurgia para pacientes com alto risco cirúrgico.


Aortic stenosis is the most common heart valve disease. Its prevalence increases with age, affecting approximately 3% of the population aged over 75 years. For decades, surgical aortic valve replacement has been the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, providing relief of symptoms and increased survival. However, surgi cal risk increases with advancing age and with the association of comorbidities, which means that more than one third of elderly patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis are deemed inoperable. Given this unmet clinical need, Alan Cribier, in 2002, performed the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation in humans. In Brazil, the experience with transcatheter aortic valve implantation began in January 2008, with the approval and availability of the CoreValve system. To evaluate the results of this new treatment modality in Brazil, the Brazilian Society of Interventional Cardiology created the Brazilian Registry ofTranscatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Clinical evidence, employing the balloon-expandable Sapien prosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences) and self-expanding CoreValve (Medtronic), indicate that it is a safe and highly effective procedure in selected patients. Currently, the transcatheter aortic valve implantation is considered the "gold standard" treatment for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis deemed inoperable and an attractive alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for patients at high surgical risk.

ABSTRACT

Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) following balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) needing emergent mitral valve replacement is a rare complication. The unrelieved mitral stenosis is compounded by severe MR leading to acute rise in pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular afterload, decreased coronary perfusion, ischemia and right ventricular failure. Associated septal shift and falling left ventricular preload leads to a vicious cycle of myocardial ischemia and hemodynamic collapse and needs to be addressed emergently before the onset of end organ damage. In this report, we describe the pathophysiology of hemodynamic collapse and peri‑operative management issues in a case of mitral valve replacement for acute severe MR following BMV.

ABSTRACT

Fundamentos: A técnica do balão único é de mais baixo custo e tem resultados semelhantes à de Inoue. Objetivos: Analisar a evolução da valvoplastia mitral com balão único Balt e fatores de risco para óbito e eventos maiores (óbito, nova valvoplastia mitral por balão ou cirurgia valvar mitral). Métodos: O balão único foi usado em 256 procedimentos, com diâmetro máximo de 25 mm em5 (1,9 %) e de 30 mm em 251 (98,1 %) procedimentos. O período médio de seguimento foi 55±33 meses. Resultados: Encontrou-se no grupo do balão único: média de idade 38,0±12,6 anos; escore ecocardiográfico 7,2±1,5 pontos; escore ecocardiográfico >8, 32 (12,5 %);sexo feminino, 222 (86,7 %); ritmo sinusal, 215 (84,0 %); sobrevida no seguimento de 245 (95,7 %) e sobrevida livre de eventos maiores, 211 (83,4 %). Na análise multivariada predisseram independentemente óbito: idade ³50 anos e escore ecocardiográfico >8 e eventos maiores: área valvar mitral pós-procedimento <1,50 cm2; comissurotomia prévia e sexo masculino; e com sete variáveis predisseram independentemente óbito: idade ≥50 anos, escore ecocardiográfico >8 e cirurgiamitral na evolução. Conclusões: Predisseram óbito e/ou eventos maiores: idade ≥50 anos, escore ecocardiográfico >8,área valvar mitral pós-procedimento <1,50 cm2, comissurotomia prévia, sexo masculino e cirurgia mitral na evolução.


Background: The single ballon (SB) technique is a low-cost option with outcomes similar to the Inoue ballon. Objectives: To analyze the long term outcomes of SB Balt mitral valvuloplasty with risk factors for death and major events (death, further mitral ballon valvuloplasty, or mitralvalve surgery) Methods: The single ballon was used in 256 procedures, with maximum balloon diameters of 25 mm for 5 (1.9%) procedures and 30 mm for 251 (98.1%)procedures. The mean follow-up period was 55+-33 months. Results: The single balloon group presented: age38.0±12.6 years, echocardiographic score 7.2±1.5points, echocardiographic score >8.32 (12.5 %), female 222(86.7 %), sinus rhythm 215 (84.0 %), survival for 245(95.7 %) at the end of the follow-up period and survival with no major events for 211 (17.6 %). In a multivariate analysis, the independent death prediction factors were: age ≥50 years and echocardiographic score >8; major events: post-procedure <1.5 cm2 mitral valve area, prior commisurotomy and male; the seven independent death prediction variables were: age ≥50years, echocardiographic score >8 and mitral valve surgery during the follow-up period. Conclusions: Death or major event predictors were: age ≥50 years, echocardiographic score >8, post-procedure mitral valve area <1.50 cm2, prior commisurotomy, male and mitral valve surgery during the follow-up period.

ABSTRACT

Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 81 anos, com estenose aórtica (EA) grave sintomática, que, durante cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico, evoluiu com instabilidade hemodinâmica refratária e posterior parada respiratória. Foi submetida à valvuloplastia aórtica percutânea por balão como medida salvadora, com subsequente melhora hemodinâmica e compensação clínica. A possibilidade de tratamento cirúrgico da EA foi descartada pelo alto risco cirúrgico. O acompanhamento clínico de até 7 meses após o procedimento demonstrou melhora significativa da classe funcional e boa tolerância aos esforços.


We report the case of an 81-year-old patient with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) who developed refractory hemodynamic instability and respiratory arrest during a diagnostic cardiac catheterization. The patient was submitted to a percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty as a life saving procedure with subsequent hemodynamic improvement and clinical stabilization. The possibility of surgical treatment for AS was excluded due to the high surgical risk. Clinical follow-up of up to 7 months after the procedure demonstrated significant improvement in functional class and good exercise tolerance.

ABSTRACT

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a relatively new method of ultrasound images useful during cardiac percutaneous interventional procedures. The first human experience with this method was published in 2000 and, since then, several original trials have enrolled this useful method, proving similar and more useful than transesophageal echocardiography in percutaneous treatment of several congenital cardiopathies, like interatrial communication, permeable oval foramen, mitral stenosis, and atrial fibrillation ablation. In this presentation, we publish a single case report of percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty under ICE guidance.


La ecocardiografía intracardiaca (EIC) es un método relativamente nuevo de imágenes por ultrasonido que utilizamos principalmente durante procedimientos de cateterismo intervencionista. La primera experiencia en seres humanos con este método fue reportada en 2000 y, desde entonces, se han publicado diversos artículos sobre su utilidad como procedimiento de control sustituto de la ecocardiografía transesofágica, en el tratamiento por cateterismo de la comunicación interatrial, comunicación interventricular, foramen oval permeable, estenosis mitral y ablación de fibrilación auricular. En esta ocasión presentamos un caso de estenosis mitral y valvuloplastía percutánea, guiado por EIC.
