RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tricuspid valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is the most widely used transcatheter therapy to treat patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop a simple anatomical score to predict procedural outcomes of T-TEER. METHODS: All patients (n = 168) who underwent T-TEER between January 2017 and November 2022 at 2 centers were included in the derivation cohort. Additionally, 126 patients from 2 separate institutions served as a validation cohort. T-TEER was performed using 2 commercially available technologies. Core laboratory assessment of procedural transesophageal echocardiograms was used to determine septolateral and anteroposterior coaptation gap, leaflet morphology, septal leaflet length and retraction, chordal structure density, tethering height, en face TR jet morphology and TR jet location, image quality, and the presence of intracardiac leads. A scoring system was derived using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Endpoints assessed were immediate postprocedural TR reduction ≥2 grades and TR grade moderate or less. RESULTS: The median age was 82 years (Q1-Q3: 78-84 years); 48% of patients were women; and patients presented with severe (55%), massive (36%), and torrential (8%) TR. Five variables (septolateral coaptation gap, chordal structure density, en face TR jet morphology, TR jet location, and image quality) were identified as best predicting procedural outcome and were incorporated in the GLIDE (Gap, Location, Image quality, density, en-face TR morphology) score (range 0-5). TR reduction ≥2 grades and TR grade moderate or less were observed in >90% of patients with GLIDE scores of 0 and 1 and in only 5.6% and 16.7% of those with GLIDE scores ≥4. The GLIDE score was then externally validated in a separate cohort (area under the curve: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.69-0.86). TR reduction significantly correlated with functional improvement assessed by NYHA functional class and 6-minute walk distance at 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: The GLIDE score is a simple, 5-component score that is readily obtained during patient imaging and can predict successful T-TEER.

RESUMO

Background: Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve (MViV) replacement has emerged as an alternative to redo mitral valve (MV) surgery for the management of failed bioprosthetic MVs. The degree of cardiac remodeling assessed by echocardiography has been shown to have prognostic implications in degenerative mitral regurgitation patients undergoing MV surgery. The impact of transcatheter MViV in patients with degenerative bioprosthetic MV failure on cardiac remodeling and its associated prognosis remains undescribed. Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe the early anatomic and functional changes of the left-sided chambers and right ventricle by echocardiography posttranscatheter MViV intervention and their impact on mortality outcomes. Additionally, we sought to analyze the outcome of heart failure in bioprosthetic MV failure patients undergoing transcatheter MViV replacement. Methods: We analyzed consecutive patients undergoing MViV intervention for symptomatic bioprosthetic MV failure. Echocardiograms before intervention and within 100 days postintervention were analyzed. A chart review was performed to obtain baseline characteristics, follow-up visits, 30-day heart failure and 1-year all-cause mortality outcomes. Results: A total of 62 patients (mean age 69 ± 13 years, 61% male) were included in the study. Most patients were undergoing MViV intervention for prosthetic mitral stenosis n = 48 (77.4%) and the rest for mitral regurgitation or mixed disease. Compared with baseline, significant reductions were observed in median left atrial volume (LAV; 103 [81-129] ml vs. 95.2 [74.5-117.5] ml, p < 0.01) and mean (SD) left atrial conduit strain (9.1% ± 5.2% vs. 10.8% ± 4.8%, p = 0.039) within 100 days postintervention. Early reduction in right ventricular free wall global longitudinal strain and fractional area change also occurred postintervention. No significant change in left ventricular chamber dimensions or ejection fraction was observed. During the 1-year follow up period, 5 (8%) patients died. While baseline LAV was not associated with 1-year all-cause mortality (OR 0.98 CI 0.95-1.01; p = 0.27), a change in LAV in the follow up period was associated with all-cause mortality at 1 year (OR 1.06 CI 1.01-1.12; p = 0.023). At 30 days postintervention, 65% of patients had an improvement in their New York Heart Association functional class. Conclusion: In this retrospective study of patients undergoing transcatheter MViV intervention for failed bioprosthetic MVs, early reverse remodeling of the left atrium occurs within 100 days postintervention and reduction in LAV is associated with reduced all-cause mortality at 1 year. In addition, there is significant improvement in heart failure symptoms at 30 days following intervention but further investigation into the longitudinal remodeling changes and long-term outcomes is needed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The CLASP IID randomized trial (Edwards PASCAL TrAnScatheter Valve RePair System Pivotal Clinical Trial) demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the PASCAL system for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) in patients at prohibitive surgical risk with significant symptomatic degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR). OBJECTIVES: This study describes the echocardiographic methods and outcomes from the CLASP IID trial and analyzes baseline variables associated with residual mitral regurgitation (MR) ≤1+. METHODS: An independent echocardiographic core laboratory assessed echocardiographic parameters based on American Society of Echocardiography guidelines focusing on MR mechanism, severity, and feasibility of M-TEER. Factors associated with residual MR ≤1+ were identified using logistic regression. RESULTS: In 180 randomized patients, baseline echocardiographic parameters were well matched between the PASCAL (n = 117) and MitraClip (n = 63) groups, with flail leaflets present in 79.2% of patients. Baseline MR was 4+ in 76.4% and 3+ in 23.6% of patients. All patients achieved MR ≤2+ at discharge. The proportion of patients with MR ≤1+ was similar in both groups at discharge but diverged at 6 months, favoring PASCAL (83.7% vs 71.2%). Overall, patients with a smaller flail gap were significantly more likely to achieve MR ≤1+ at discharge (adjusted OR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.50-0.99). Patients treated with PASCAL and those with a smaller flail gap were significantly more likely to sustain MR ≤1+ to 6 months (adjusted OR: 2.72 and 0.76; 95% CI: 1.08-6.89 and 0.60-0.98, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The study used DMR-specific echocardiographic methodology for M-TEER reflecting current guidelines and advances in 3-dimensional echocardiography. Treatment with PASCAL and a smaller flail gap were significant factors in sustaining MR ≤1+ to 6 months. Results demonstrate that MR ≤1+ is an achievable benchmark for successful M-TEER.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: For patients with symptomatic, severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), early results of transcatheter tricuspid valve (TV) intervention studies have shown significant improvements in functional status and quality of life associated with right-heart reverse remodelling. Longer-term follow-up is needed to confirm sustained improvements in these outcomes. METHODS: The prospective, single-arm, multicentre TRISCEND study enrolled 176 patients to evaluate the safety and performance of transcatheter TV replacement in patients with ≥moderate, symptomatic TR despite medical therapy. Major adverse events, reduction in TR grade and haemodynamic outcomes by echocardiography, and clinical, functional, and quality-of-life parameters are reported to one year. RESULTS: Enrolled patients were 71.0% female, mean age 78.7 years, 88.0% ≥ severe TR, and 75.4% New York Heart Association classes III-IV. Tricuspid regurgitation was reduced to ≤mild in 97.6% (P < .001), with increases in stroke volume (10.5 ± 16.8 mL, P < .001) and cardiac output (0.6 ± 1.2 L/min, P < .001). New York Heart Association class I or II was achieved in 93.3% (P < .001), Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score increased by 25.7 points (P < .001), and six-minute walk distance increased by 56.2 m (P < .001). All-cause mortality was 9.1%, and 10.2% of patients were hospitalized for heart failure. CONCLUSIONS: In an elderly, highly comorbid population with ≥moderate TR, patients receiving transfemoral EVOQUE transcatheter TV replacement had sustained TR reduction, significant increases in stroke volume and cardiac output, and high survival and low hospitalization rates with improved clinical, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes to one year.

RESUMO

This study aims to assess whether the On-X aortic valved conduit better restores normal valvular and ascending aortic hemodynamics than other commonly used bileaflet mechanical valved conduit prostheses from St. Jude Medical and Carbomedics by using same-day transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. TTE and 4D flow MRI were performed back-to-back in 10 patients with On-X, six patients with St. Jude (two) and Carbomedics (four) prostheses, and 36 healthy volunteers. TTE evaluated valvular hemodynamic parameters: transvalvular peak velocity (TPV), mean and peak transvalvular pressure gradient (TPG), and effective orifice area (EOA). 4D flow MRI evaluated the peak systolic 3D viscous energy loss rate (VELR) density and mean vorticity magnitude in the ascending aorta (AAo). While higher TPV and mean and peak TPG were recorded in all patients compared to healthy subjects, the values in On-X patients were closer to those in healthy subjects (TPV 1.9 ± 0.3 vs. 2.2 ± 0.3 vs. 1.2 ± 0.2 m/s, mean TPG 7.4 ± 1.9 vs. 9.2 ± 2.3 vs. 3.1 ± 0.9 mmHg, peak TPG 15.3 ± 5.2 vs. 18.9 ± 5.2 vs. 6.1 ± 1.8 mmHg, p < 0.001). Likewise, while higher VELR density and mean vorticity magnitude were recorded in all patients than in healthy subjects, the values in On-X patients were closer to those in healthy subjects (VELR: 50.6 ± 20.1 vs. 89.8 ± 35.2 vs. 21.4 ± 9.2 W/m3, p < 0.001) and vorticity (147.6 ± 30.0 vs. 191.2 ± 26.0 vs. 84.6 ± 20.5 s-1, p < 0.001). This study demonstrates that the On-X aortic valved conduit may produce less aberrant hemodynamics in the AAo while maintaining similar valvular hemodynamics to St. Jude Medical and Carbomedics alternatives.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) has significantly expanded treatment options for tricuspid regurgitation (TR). However, a sizeable proportion of patients are still declined for TTVr and little is known about their clinical characteristics and cardiac morphology. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to characterize patients who screen fail for TTVr with respect to their clinical characteristics and cardiac morphology. METHODS: A total of 547 patients were evaluated for TTVr between January 2016 to December 2021 from 3 centers in the United States and Germany. Clinical records and echocardiographic studies were used to assess medical history and right ventricular (RV) and tricuspid valve (TV) characteristics. RESULTS: Median age was 80 (IQR: 74-83) years and 60.0% were female. Over half (58.1%) were accepted for TTVr. Of those who were deemed unsuitable for TTVr (41.9%), the most common exclusion reasons were anatomical criteria (56.8%). In the regression analysis, RV and right atrial size, TV coaptation gap, and tethering area were identified as independent screen failure predictors. Other rejection reasons included clinical futility (17.9%), low symptom burden (12.7%), and technical limitations (12.7%). Most of the excluded patients (71.6%) were managed conservatively with medical therapy, while a small number either proceeded to TV surgery (22.3%) or subsequently became eligible for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement in later available clinical trials in the United States (6.1%). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of TTVr screen failure patients are excluded due to TV, right atrial, and RV enlargement. However, a significant proportion is excluded due to clinical futility. These identifiable anatomical and clinical characteristics emphasize the importance of earlier referral and intervention of TR and the need for continued innovation of Transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions.

RESUMO

This review discusses the contemporary clinical evaluation and management of patients with comorbid aortic regurgitation (AR) and heart failure (HF) (AR-HF). Importantly, as clinical HF exists along the spectrum of AR severity, the present review also details novel strategies to detect early signs of HF before the clinical syndrome ensues. Indeed, there may be a vulnerable cohort of AR patients who benefit from early detection and management of HF. Additionally, while the mainstay of operative management for AR has historically been surgical aortic valve replacement, this review discusses alternate procedures that may be beneficial in high-risk cohorts.

RESUMO

Primary mitral regurgitation is a frequent etiology of congestive heart failure and is best treated with intervention when patients are symptomatic or when additional risk factors exist. Surgical intervention improves outcomes in appropriately selected patients. However, for those at high surgical risk, transcatheter intervention provides less invasive repair and replacement options while providing comparable outcomes to surgery. The excess mortality and high prevalence of heart failure in untreated mitral regurgitation illuminate the need for further developments in mitral valve intervention ideally fulfilled by expanding these types of procedures and eligibility to these procedures beyond only those at high surgical risk.

RESUMO

The causes of mitral regurgitation (MR) can be broadly divided into primary and secondary causes. Although primary MR is caused by degenerative alterations of the mitral valve and the mitral valve apparatus, secondary (functional) MR is multifactorial and related to dilation of the left ventricle and/or mitral annulus commonly resulting in concomitant restriction of the leaflets. Therefore, the treatment of secondary MR (SMR) is complex and includes guideline directed heart failure therapy along with surgical and transcatheter approaches that have shown effectiveness in certain subgroups. This review aims to provide insight into current advances in diagnosis and management of SMR.

RESUMO

Vaccine development against COVID-19 has mitigated severe disease. However, reports of rare but serious adverse events following immunization (sAEFI) in the young populations are fuelling parental anxiety and vaccine hesitancy. With a very early season of viral illnesses including COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, metapneumovirus and several others, children are facing a winter with significant respiratory illness burdens. Yet, COVID-19 vaccine and booster uptake remain sluggish due to the mistaken beliefs that children have low rates of severe COVID-19 illness as well as rare but severe complications from COVID-19 vaccine are common. In this study we examined composite sAEFI reported in association with COVID-19 vaccines in the United States (US) amongst 5-17-year-old children, to ascertain the composite reported risk associated with vaccination. Between December 13, 2020, and April 13, 2022, a total of 467,890,599 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered to individuals aged 5-65 years in the US, of which 180 million people received at least 2 doses. In association with these, a total of 177,679 AEFI were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event reporting System (VAERS) of which 31,797 (17.9%) were serious. The rates of ED visits per 100,000 recipients were 2.56 (95% CI: 2.70-3.47) amongst 5-11-year-olds, 18.25 (17.57-18.95) amongst 12-17-year-olds and 33.74 (33.36-34.13) amongst 18-65-year olds; hospitalizations were 1.07 (95% CI 0.87-1.32) per 100,000 in 5-11-year-olds, 6.83 (6.42-7.26) in 12-17-year olds and 8.15 (7.96-8.35) in 18-65 years; life-threatening events were 0.14 (95% CI: 0.08-0.25) per 100,000 in 5-11-year olds, 1.22 (1.05-1.41) in 12-17-year-olds and 2.96 (2.85-3.08) in 18-65 year olds; and death 0.03 (95% CI 0.01-0.10) per 100,000 in 5-11 year olds, 0.08 (0.05-0.14) amongst 12-17-year olds and 0.76 (0.71-0.82) in 18-65 years age group. The results of our study from national population surveillance data demonstrate rates of reported serious AEFIs amongst 5-17-year-olds which appear to be significantly lower than in 18-65-year-olds. These low risks must be taken into account in overall recommendation of COVID-19 vaccination amongst children.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is prevalent and undertreated, with mortality and morbidity increasing with TR severity. Given poor outcomes with medical therapy and high in-hospital mortality for isolated tricuspid valve surgery, emerging transcatheter repair devices offer a promising alternative. OBJECTIVES: The Edwards Cardioband Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction System Early Feasibility study (NCT03382457) evaluates the treatment of functional TR via annular reduction with the Cardioband Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction System (Edwards Lifesciences). METHODS: Patients with ≥ moderate functional TR were eligible for this prospective, single-arm multicenter study. At 1 year, patients were evaluated for echocardiographic parameters, clinical and quality-of-life measures, and major adverse events. RESULTS: The 37 patients enrolled had a mean age of 78 years; 76% were female; and they had ≥ severe functional (97.3%) or mixed (2.7%) TR, atrial flutter/fibrillation (97%), and New York Heart Association functional class III/IV (65%). At 1 year, 73.0% achieved ≤ moderate TR (P < 0.0001), and 73.1% had ≥2 grade reductions. Echocardiography showed significant reductions in the tricuspid annulus diameter (P < 0.0001), mean vena contracta (P < 0.0001), proximal isovelocity surface area effective regurgitant orifice area (P < 0.0001), right ventricular end-diastolic diameter (P < 0.0001), and inferior vena contracta (P = 0.0006). New York Heart Association functional class improved significantly (P < 0.0001), with 92.3% achieving class I/II, and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores improved by 19.0 points (P < 0.0001). One-year cardiovascular mortality was 8.1%, reinterventions were necessary in 5.4%, major access site complications occurred in 8.1%, and severe bleeding was noted in 35.1% of patients. Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival and freedom from heart failure rehospitalization were 85.9% and 88.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: One-year experience using the Cardioband system for tricuspid valve repair shows high survival and low rehospitalization rates with durable outcomes in TR reduction and echocardiographic, clinical, and quality-of-life outcomes.

RESUMO

Patients with bicuspid aortic valves commonly require an intervention on their valve and/or aorta. Because of their heterogeneous presentations, recommendations for imaging surveillance and surgery timing are highly individualized. Critical points in care include time of diagnosis, transition from adolescent to adult medicine, and surgery referral. To better support patients with bicuspid aortic valves, we developed a comprehensive program that utilizes the multidisciplinary care team, complex interventions, and translational research protocols. We describe our program structure and experience with this common and sometimes challenging diagnosis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSARR) is an alternative to valve-replacing aortic root replacement (VRARR) with valved-conduits based on recent guidelines for clinical practice. This study investigated outcomes of these two procedures in patients with nonstenotic valves. METHODS: Between January 7, 2007 and June 30, 2019, 475 patients with aortic root aneurysm without aortic stenosis underwent VSARR (151) or VRARR (324) techniques. Propensity score-matching (PSM) was used to alleviate confounding. Endpoints were 30-day mortality, 8-year survival and reoperation, aortic regurgitation, and valve gradients. RESULTS: PSM created 69 pairs of patients with a mean age 52 ± 13 years (10.1% Marfan syndrome, 34.8% bicuspid aortic valve). There was no statistically significant difference in major perioperative morbidity or 30-day mortality (0% VSARR vs. 1.4% VRARR; p = 0.316). Overall survival was significantly higher (p = 0.025) in the VSARR group versus the VRARR group (8-year estimates 100% vs. 88.9%, respectively), while freedom from valve reoperation was similar (p = 0.97, 8-year estimates 90.9% vs. 96.7%, respectively). Freedom from > moderate-severe AR was not significantly different (p = 0.08, 8-year estimates 90.0% VSARR group vs. 100% VRARR), but mean valve gradients at last follow-up were better in the VSARR group (5.9 vs. 13.2 mmHg, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: VSARR is a safe operation in patients with aortic root aneurysm and nonstenotic aortic valves in the hands of experienced surgeons. Freedom from reoperation is similar and the mode of aortic valve failure differs between the two groups.
