ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the feasibility and safety of carotid access transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) by performing a meta-analysis of published cases. BACKGROUND: Several case series and regional data have provided initial basis for carotid access TAVR in patients with prohibitive femoral approach. We performed this meta-analysis to provide further evidence of feasibility and safety of carotid TAVR. METHODS: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane CENTRAL for any study on carotid access TAVR involving ⩾5 patients since inception till March 1, 2020. Random-effects model was used to compute overall effects. The outcomes analyzed were all-cause mortality, Transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke, need for permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation, pericardial tamponade, access site complications, major bleeding, and length of stay. RESULTS: There was a total of 17 retrospective studies (n = 2082) with a median follow-up of 1 month. Mean age of the patient was 80 years. Mean Euroscore and STS scores were 15 ± 6.2 and 7.9 ± 3.3, respectively. The procedural success rate was 99%. The rate of all-cause mortality was 6.7% (range 4.6-9.7%, p < .001, I2 = 67%). Incidence of TIA/stroke was 3.9% (range 3.1-4.8%, p < .001, I2 = 0%) and PPM implantation was 16.7% (range 12.5-21.9%, p < .001, I2 = 56%). Rate of pericardial tamponade, vascular complication, and major bleeding were 1.7, 2.5, and 7%, respectively. Average length of hospital stay was 7.7 days. CONCLUSION: Our results show that transcarotid approach is a feasible option in patients with prohibitive femoral access for TAVR.

ABSTRACT

There are paucity of data on gender-based differences in the effect of thrombocytopenia and coronary heart disease (CHD) towards development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We used National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database of the United States to assess the gender-based differences in the association of thrombocytopenia with CHD and the impact of thrombocytopenia on mortality, length of stay and hospitalization costs on ACS subgroup of CHD. Our analysis found that thrombocytopenia was associated with increased odds of CHD on univariate (odds ratio [OR] 1.31 (95% CI 1.30-1.32) p < 0.001) and multivariate (OR 1.36 (95% CI 1.34-1.38) p < 0.001) analyses. Thrombocytopenic CHD patients had increased odds of developing ACS only in women (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.12-1.17, p < 0.001). Thrombocytopenia was found to be associated with poor short-term outcome in ACS subgroup of CHD with higher in-hospital mortality (OR 1.64, CI 1.58 to 1.71, p < 0.001), length of stay (3.4 days, CI 3.30-3.52, p < 0.001), and cost of hospitalization ($55,652, CI 53,717-57,587, p < 0.001). Thrombocytopenic women with ACS have greater odds of mortality compared to men. Our study suggests that thrombocytopenia among women with CHD is associated with increased odds of developing ACS. Women with ACS have greater mortality compared to men. Thrombocytopenic ACS patients have worse in-hospital outcome compared to patients with normal platelet count. We demonstrated association only and is not possible to establish causality with our study.
