Abstract
The experience with transcatheter aortic valve replacement is increasing worldwide; however, the incidence of potentially catastrophic cardiac or aortic complications has not decreased. In most cases, significant injuries to the aorta, aortic valve annulus, and left ventricle require open surgical repair. However, the transcatheter aortic valve replacement patient presents a unique challenge as many patients are at high or prohibitive surgical risk and, therefore, an open surgical procedure may not be feasible or appropriate. Consequently, prevention of these potentially catastrophic injuries is vital, and practitioners need to understand when open surgical repair is required and when alternative management strategies can be used. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of current management and prevention strategies for major complications involving the aorta, aortic valve annulus, and left ventricle.

Acquired Aseptic Intracardiac Shunts Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Systematic Review. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2016; 9:2527-2538. [PMID: 27889349 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2016.09.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2016] [Revised: 09/07/2016] [Accepted: 09/22/2016] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to describe the incidence, mechanisms, features, and management of aseptic intracardiac shunts (AICS). BACKGROUND AICS following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are an uncommon and barely described complication. METHODS A systematic review was performed of all published cases of AICS following TAVR, and the incidence, predictors, main features, management, and related outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 31 post-TAVR AICS were gathered. After excluding transapical fistulas, the 28 remaining cases corresponded with an incidence of about 0.5%. Mean age and mean logistic European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation score were 80 ± 11 years and 19.2 ± 8.3%, respectively. Prior radiation therapy for cancer was present in 14.3%, and 42.8% had severe calcification of the aortic valve. TAVR was undertaken using balloon-expandable prostheses in the majority of cases (85.7%), via the transapical approach in one-third. Median time from TAVR to diagnosis was 21 days (interquartile range: 7 to 30 days), with intraprocedural suspicion in 12 cases (42.9%) and a mean Qp/Qs ratio of 1.8 ± 0.6. The most common location for AICS was the interventricular septum (60.7%). Heart failure was frequent (46.4%), but 14 patients (50%) remained asymptomatic. Medical treatment (71.4%) was associated with poor outcomes (30-day mortality rate 25%), especially in symptomatic patients (35% vs. 0%; p = 0.020) and in those with higher Qp/Qs ratios (1.9 ± 0.6 vs. 1.4 ± 0.1), while cardiac surgery (3.6%), and percutaneous closure (25%) led to good outcomes after a median follow-up period of 3 months (interquartile range: 1 to 9 months). CONCLUSIONS Post-TAVR AICS are uncommon but have high 30-day mortality if left untreated, especially in symptomatic patients. Percutaneous closure was feasible and safe in symptomatic patients but remains controversial in asymptomatic subjects.

Echocardiographic imaging of procedural complications during balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement. JACC Cardiovasc Imaging 2015; 8:288-318. [PMID: 25772835 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcmg.2014.12.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2014] [Revised: 12/19/2014] [Accepted: 12/22/2014] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using a balloon-expandable valve is an accepted alternative to surgical replacement for severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis in high risk or inoperable patients. Intraprocedural transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) offers real-time imaging guidance throughout the procedure and allows for rapid and accurate assessment of complications and procedural results. The value of intraprocedural TEE for TAVR will likely increase in the future as this procedure is performed in lower surgical risk patients, who also have lower risk for general anesthesia, but a greater expectation of optimal results with lower morbidity and mortality. This imaging compendium from the PARTNER (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves) trials is intended to be a comprehensive compilation of intraprocedural complications imaged by intraprocedural TEE and diagnostic tools to anticipate and/or prevent their occurrence.
