Abstract
This consensus of nomenclature and classification for congenital bicuspid aortic valve and its aortopathy is evidence-based and intended for universal use by physicians (both pediatricians and adults), echocardiographers, advanced cardiovascular imaging specialists, interventional cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, pathologists, geneticists, and researchers spanning these areas of clinical and basic research. In addition, as long as new key and reference research is available, this international consensus may be subject to change based on evidence-based data1.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can be completed by bioprosthetic valve fracture (BVF) to reduce final transvalvular gradients. The aim was to compare outcomes in ViV-TAVI patients with versus without BVF.
Methods
Consecutive patients undergoing ViV-TAVI procedure in four international centers were included, from 2010 to 2021. We used a 1:2 propensity score-matching method to compare postprocedural hemodynamic, complications, and long-term outcomes. Patients were matched for baseline characteristics, time since prior surgery, and characteristics of surgical bioprothesis (type and size).
Results
A total of 390 patients were analyzed, including 40 BVF. Propensity matching 1:2 yielded 38 patients in BVF group and 76 patients in no-BVF group. There was no difference in procedural complications rate and in-hospital deaths (5.1%) between the two groups. Post-procedural hemodynamic parameters significantly improved using BVF: aortic valve area (1.4 cm2 [IQR: 1.23 to 2.3] vs. 1.3 cm2 [IQR: 1.05 to 1.61], p=0.008), mean aortic gradient (12mmHg [IQR: 7.5 to 16.5] vs. 17mmHg [IQR: 11 to 22], p=0.008) and peak velocity (2.2m/s [IQR: 1.8 to 2.7] vs. 2.6m/s [IQR: 2.2 to 3.1], p=0.027). BVF had an additional benefit in the smallest surgical valve (≤21 mm). The use of BVF was independently associated with improved hemodynamic parameters. Overall survival in the matched cohort was 87.8±3.7% at 2-year follow-up, without difference between groups (87.5±6.9% in the BVF group vs. 88.4±4.2% in the no-BVF group, p=0.85).
Conclusion
Compared to ViV-TAVI alone, BVF was safe and improved immediate hemodynamic and long-term outcomes, especially in patients with small surgical aortic bioprosthesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The clinical utility of comprehensive cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for the assessment of myocardial structure and function remains unknown in patients with low gradient (LG) aortic stenosis (AS).
Purpose
This study sought to compare CMR characteristics of myocardial structure and function according to different flow / gradient patterns of AS: classical low flow LG (LFLG); paradoxical LFLG; normal flow LG; and high gradient, and to evaluate their impact on the outcomes of these patients.
Methods
International multicentric prospective study included 147 patients with LG moderate to severe AS and 18 patients with high gradient severe AS who underwent comprehensive CMR evaluation of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), extracellular volume fraction (ECV), and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).
Results
Patients with classical LFLG (n=90) had more LV adverse remodeling and impaired longitudinal function including higher ECV, and higher LGE and volume, and worst LVGLS, compared to other patterns of AS. Over a median follow-up of 2-years, 43 deaths and 48 composite outcomes of death or heart failure hospitalization occurred in LG AS patients. As LVGLS or ECV worsened, risks of adverse events also increased (per tertile of LVGLS: HR [95% CI] for mortality, 1.50 [1.02–2.20]; p=0.04; HR [95% CI] for composite outcome, 1.45 [1.01–2.09]; p<0.05) (per tertile of ECV: HR [95% CI] for mortality, 1.63 [1.07–2.49]; p=0.02; HR [95% CI] for composite outcome, 1.54 [1.02–2.33]; p=0.04). LGE presence was also associated with higher mortality (HR [95% CI], 2.27 [1.01–5.11]; p<0.05) and risk of the composite outcome (HR [95% CI], 3.00 [1.16–7.73]; p=0.02). The risk of all-cause death and of the composite outcome increased in proportion to the number of impaired components (i.e. LVGLS, ECV and LGE) (Figure) with and without adjustment for age, true severe AS, classical LFLG, and aortic valve replacement as a time-varying covariate.
Conclusions
In this international multicentric study of LG AS, comprehensive CMR assessment of myocardial structure and function provides independent prognostic value that is cumulative and incremental to clinical and echocardiographic characteristics.

Abstract
This International Consensus Classification and Nomenclature for the congenital bicuspid aortic valve condition recognizes 3 types of bicuspid valves: 1. The fused type (right-left cusp fusion, right-non-coronary cusp fusion and left-non-coronary cusp fusion phenotypes); 2. The 2-sinus type (latero-lateral and antero-posterior phenotypes); and 3. The partial-fusion (forme fruste) type. The presence of raphe and the symmetry of the fused type phenotypes are critical aspects to describe. The International Consensus also recognizes 3 types of bicuspid valve-associated aortopathy: 1. The ascending phenotype; 2. The root phenotype; and 3. Extended phenotypes. © 2021 Jointly between the RSNA, the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, and the American Association for Thoracic Surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The authors explored the development and validation of machine-learning models for augmenting the echocardiographic grading of aortic stenosis (AS) severity. BACKGROUND In AS, symptoms and adverse events develop secondarily to valvular obstruction and left ventricular decompensation. The current echocardiographic grading of AS severity focuses on the valve and is limited by diagnostic uncertainty. METHODS Using echocardiography (ECHO) measurements (ECHO cohort, n = 1,052), we performed patient similarity analysis to derive high-severity and low-severity phenogroups of AS. We subsequently developed a supervised machine-learning classifier and validated its performance with independent markers of disease severity obtained using computed tomography (CT) (CT cohort, n = 752) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (CMR cohort, n = 160). The classifier's prognostic value was further validated using clinical outcomes (aortic valve replacement [AVR] and death) observed in the ECHO and CMR cohorts. RESULTS In 1,964 patients from the 3 multi-institutional cohorts, 1,346 (68%) subjects had either nonsevere or discordant AS severity. Machine learning identified 1,117 (57%) patients as having high-severity and 847 (43%) as having low-severity AS. High-severity patients in CT and CMR cohorts had higher valve calcium scores and left ventricular mass and fibrosis, respectively than the low-severity group. In the ECHO cohort, progression to AVR and progression to death in patients who did not receive AVR was faster in the high-severity group. Compared with the conventional classification of disease severity, machine-learning-based severity classification improved discrimination (integrated discrimination improvement: 0.07; 95% confidence interval: 0.02 to 0.12) and reclassification (net reclassification improvement: 0.17; 95% confidence interval: 0.11 to 0.23) for the outcome of AVR at 5 years. For both ECHO and CMR cohorts, we observed prognostic value of the machine-learning classifications for subgroups with asymptomatic, nonsevere or discordant AS. CONCLUSIONS Machine learning can integrate ECHO measurements to augment the classification of disease severity in most patients with AS, with major potential to optimize the timing of AVR.

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION
The clinical value of rest transaortic flow rate (FR) has been shown previously in low-gradient aortic stenosis (LGAS) for the prediction of outcome. However limited data exists on the prognostic value of stress FR in LGAS following low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (LDDSE).
PURPOSE
We aimed to assess the value of stress FR in patients with LGAS in the diagnosis of AS severity and the prediction of mortality.
METHODS
This is a multi-centre cohort study of patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and LGAS (aortic valve area –AVA <1cm²) who underwent LDDSE.
RESULTS
Of the 287 patients (mean age: 75.1 ±10 years, males: 71%) over the mean follow-up of 24 ±30 months there were 127 (44.3%) deaths and 147 (51.2%) patients underwent aortic valve intervention. Lower stress FR was independently associated with increased risk of mortality (HR= 0.99, 95%CI= 0.99-0.999, p= 0.02) after adjusting for age, chronic kidney disease, presence of symptoms (NYHA II-IV), aortic valve intervention, rest LVEF and guideline-defined severe AS (AV mean gradient- AVMG ≥40mmHg with AVA <1cm² at peak stress). The minimum cut-off for prediction of mortality was stress FR 210ml/sec. Among the different criteria of AS severity during stress, i.e. guideline-defined criterion, or stress AVMG ≥40mmHg, or stress AVA <1cm² at stress FR ≥210ml/s, only the latter was independently associated with mortality (HR= 1.81, 95%CI= 1.04-3.2, p= 0.04) (Table 1) and was the parameter of AS severity that predicted improved outcome following aortic valve intervention (p <0.005) (Figure 1). Guideline-defined stroke volume flow reserve did not predict mortality.
CONCLUSIONS
Assessment of stress FR during LDDSE is important for the detection of both AS severity and flow reserve.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postextrasystolic potentiation (PESP)-associated augmentation in left ventricular-aorta pressure gradient (LVAoG) observed after incidental premature ventricular contraction (PVC) during resting echocardiography is similar to dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE)-associated augmentation in LVAoG in patients with low-flow, low-gradient (LF-LG) aortic stenosis (AS). What is not known is whether a similar relationship exists when unintended PVC causes PESP during cardiac catheterization in patients with AS. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all catheterizations performed for patients with at least moderate AS who had LVAoG assessment. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the predictors of pre- and post-PVC mean LVAoG ≥ 40 mmHg. RESULTS Between September 2015 to September 2017, of 140 individuals undergoing cardiac catheterization, 34 met study criteria. Mean pre-PVC gradient was 38.9 ± 22.8 mmHg. All patients exhibited PESP-associated augmentation of LVAoG by an average of 28 ± 12%. In multivariate analysis, the only significant predictor of post-PVC mean LVAoG ≥ 40 mmHg was preserved LV function (OR 6.81; 95% CI 1.41-32.82, p = 0.02). Inability to generate ≥ 40 mmHg of mean LVAoG post-PVC had 100% specificity for nonsevere AS in our observational cohort. CONCLUSIONS Unintended but interpretable PVCs occurred in one in four patients with AS undergoing cardiac catheterization with measurable hemodynamics. All of our patients with PVCs, regardless of underlying LVEF, exhibited PESP-associated augmentation of LVAoG. Our exploratory analysis suggests that inability to generate ≥40 mmHg of mean LVAoG post-PVC is highly specific for nonsevere AS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction: The presence of subclinical myocardial disease confers an increased cardiovascular disease risk. The effects of bariatric surgery on subclinical myocardial function assessed using left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) in severely obese individuals with preserved LV ejection fraction is unclear.
Purpose
To evaluate changes in subclinical LV myocardial function following bariatric surgery in obese individuals with and without diabetes.
Methods
Thirty-eight severely obese individuals [body mass index (BMI) >35kg/m2] with preserved LV ejection fraction (≥ 50%) who underwent bariatric surgery (Surgery group) (BMI 48 ± 7 kg/m2), 19 obese individuals managed conservatively (Cons. group) (BMI 47 ± 9 kg/m2), and 18 age and sex-matched non-obese controls (Non-obese group) were included. Echocardiography with GLS measurements was performed at the beginning of the study and at 6 months. Abnormal myocardial function was defined as a GLS >-17%.
Results
Mean age of obese patients was 42 ± 11, BMI 48 ± 8 kg/m2, and 82% were female. The percentage of total weight loss at 6 months after bariatric surgery (Surgery group) was 26.3 ± 5.2%. Body weight remains unchanged at 6 months in the Cons. group. Proportions of hypertension (61 vs. 30%, P = 0.0005), dyslipidemia (42 vs. 5%, P = 0.0001) and type 2 diabetes (40 vs. 13%, P = 0.002) were reduced in the Surgery group. At the beginning, severely obese patients (Surgery group) displayed subclinical myocardial dysfunction vs. non-obese controls (LV GLS, -17.3 ± 2.5 vs. -19.6 ± 1.7%, P = 0.003). Six months after bariatric surgery, the subclinical myocardial function was comparable between both groups (LV GLS, -19.2 ± 2.1 vs. -19.6 ± 1.7%, P = NS). 22 severely obese individuals (58%) in the Surgery group showed abnormal GLS, which normalized in 82% after bariatric surgery (P = 0.0001). On the contrary, half of severely obese individuals managed conservatively (n = 10, 53%) worsened their GLS during the follow-up (P = 0.002). Remission of type 2 diabetes 6 months after bariatric surgery was associated with improvement in GLS (-17.5 ± 2.6 vs. -18.6± 1.8%), whereas obese individuals with type 2 diabetes managed conservatively showed a worsening in their subclinical myocardial function during the follow-up (-18.0 ± 2.4 vs. -17.4 ± 1.7%).
Conclusions
A great proportion of severely obese individuals with preserved LV ejection fraction have subclinical myocardial dysfunction. Bariatric surgery in obese individuals was associated with significant improvements in the metabolic profile and in subclinical myocardial function.

Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Bioprosthetic Valve Fracture Comparing Different Transcatheter Heart Valve Designs: An Ex Vivo Bench Study. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2019; 12:65-75. [PMID: 30621980 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2018.10.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2018] [Revised: 10/04/2018] [Accepted: 10/23/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The authors assessed the effect of valve-in-valve (VIV) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) followed by bioprosthetic valve fracture (BVF), testing different transcatheter heart valve (THV) designs in an ex vivo bench study. BACKGROUND Bioprosthetic valve fracture can be performed to improve residual transvalvular gradients following VIV TAVR. METHODS The authors evaluated VIV TAVR and BVF with the SAPIEN 3 (S3) (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) and ACURATE neo (Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, Massachusetts) THVs. A 20-mm and 23-mm S3 were deployed in a 19-mm and 21-mm Mitroflow (Sorin Group USA, Arvada, Colorado), respectively. A small ACURATE neo was deployed in both sizes of Mitroflow tested. VIV TAVR samples underwent multimodality imaging, and hydrodynamic evaluation before and after BVF. RESULTS A high implantation was required to enable full expansion of the upper crown of the ACURATE neo and allow optimal leaflet function. Marked underexpansion of the lower crown of the THV within the surgical valve was also observed. Before BVF, VIV TAVR in the 19-mm Mitroflow had high transvalvular gradients using either THV design (22.0 mm Hg S3, and 19.1 mm Hg ACURATE neo). After BVF, gradients improved and were similar for both THVs (14.2 mm Hg S3, and 13.8 mm Hg ACURATE neo). The effective orifice area increased with BVF from 1.2 to 1.6 cm2 with the S3 and from 1.4 to 1.6 cm2 with the ACURATE neo. Before BVF, VIV TAVR with the ACURATE neo in the 21-mm Mitroflow had lower gradients compared with S3 (11.3 mm Hg vs. 16 mm Hg). However, after BVF valve gradients were similar for both THVs (8.4 mm Hg ACURATE neo vs. 7.8 mm Hg S3). The effective orifice area increased from 1.5 to 2.1 cm2 with the S3 and from 1.8 to 2.2 cm2 with the ACURATE neo. CONCLUSIONS BVF performed after VIV TAVR results in improved residual gradients. Following BVF, residual gradients were similar irrespective of THV design. Use of a small ACURATE neo for VIV TAVR in small (≤21 mm) surgical valves may be associated with challenges in achieving optimum THV position and expansion. BVF could be considered in selected clinical cases.
