Performance of Purpose-Built vs Off-Label Transcatheter Devices for Aortic Regurgitation: The PURPOSE Study. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2024; 17:1597-1606. [PMID: 38986659 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2024.05.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe pure aortic regurgitation (AR) carries a high mortality and morbidity risk, and it is often undertreated because of the inherent surgical risk. Transcatheter heart valves (THVs) have been used off-label in this setting with overall suboptimal results. The dedicated "purpose-built" Jena Valve Trilogy (JVT, JenaValve Technology) showed an encouraging performance, although it has never been compared to other THVs. OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to assess the performance of the latest iteration of THVs used off-label in comparison to the purpose-built JVT in inoperable patients with severe AR. METHODS We performed a multicenter, retrospective registry with 18 participating centers worldwide collecting data on inoperable patients with severe AR of the native valve. A bicuspid aortic valve was the main exclusion criterion. The primary endpoints were technical and device success, 1-year all-cause mortality, and the composite of 1-year mortality and the heart failure rehospitalization rate. RESULTS Overall, 256 patients were enrolled. THVs used off-label were used in 168 cases (66%), whereas JVT was used in 88 (34%). JVT had higher technical (81% vs 98%; P < 0.001) and device success rates (73% vs 95%; P < 0.001), primarily driven by significantly lower incidences of THV embolization (15% vs 1.1%; P < 0.001), the need for a second valve (11% vs 1.1%; P = 0.004), and moderate residual AR (10% vs 1.1%; P = 0.007). The permanent pacemaker implantation rate was comparable and elevated for both groups (22% vs 24%; P = 0.70). Finally, no significant difference was observed at the 1-year follow-up in terms of mortality (HR: 0.99; P = 0.980) and the composite endpoint (HR: 1.5; P = 0.355). CONCLUSIONS The JVT platform has a better acute performance than other THVs when used off-label for inoperable patients with severe AR. A longer follow-up is conceivably needed to detect a possible impact on prognosis.

Abstract
Background Establishing surgical criteria for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in severe aortic regurgitation in young adults is challenging due to the lack of evidence-based recommendations. We studied indications for AVR in young adults with severe aortic regurgitation and their outcomes, as well as the relationship between presurgical echocardiographic parameters and postoperative left ventricular (LV) size, function, clinical events, and valve-related complications. Methods and Results Data were collected retrospectively on 172 consecutive adult patients who underwent AVR or repair for severe aortic regurgitation between 2005 and 2019 in a tertiary cardiac center (age at surgery 29 [22-41] years, 81% male). One-third underwent surgery before meeting guideline indications. Postsurgery, 65% achieved LV size and function normalization. LV ejection fraction showed no significant change from baseline. A higher presurgical LV end-systolic diameter correlated with a lack of LV normalization (odds ratio per 1-cm increase 2.81, P<0.01). The baseline LV end-systolic diameter cut-off for predicting lack of LV normalization was 43 mm. Pre- and postoperative LV dimensions and postoperative LV ejection fraction predicted clinical events during follow-up. Prosthetic valve-related complications occurred in 20.3% during an average 5.6-year follow-up. Freedom from aortic reintervention was 98%, 96.5%, and 85.4% at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively. Conclusions Young adult patients with increased baseline LV end-systolic diameter or prior cardiac surgery are less likely to achieve LV normalization after AVR. Clinicians should carefully balance the long-term benefits of AVR against procedural risks and future interventions, especially in younger patients. Evidence-based criteria for AVR in severe aortic regurgitation in young adults are crucial to improve outcomes.

Impact of early versus class I-triggered surgery on postoperative survival in severe aortic regurgitation: An observational study from the Aortic Valve Insufficiency and Ascending Aorta Aneurysm International Registry. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2023:S0022-5223(23)00545-7. [PMID: 37422134 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2023.06.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Class I triggers for severe and chronic aortic regurgitation surgery mainly rely on symptoms or systolic dysfunction, resulting in a negative outcome despite surgical correction. Therefore, US and European guidelines now advocate for earlier surgery. We sought to determine whether earlier surgery leads to improved postoperative survival. METHODS We evaluated the postoperative survival of patients who underwent surgery for severe aortic regurgitation in the international multicenter registry for aortic valve surgery, Aortic Valve Insufficiency and Ascending Aorta Aneurysm International Registry, over a median follow-up of 37 months. RESULTS Among 1899 patients (aged 49 ± 15 years, 85% were male), 83% and 84% had class I indication according to the American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology, respectively, and most were offered repair surgery (92%). Twelve patients (0.6%) died after surgery, and 68 patients died within 10 years after the procedure. Heart failure symptoms (hazard ratio, 2.60 [1.20-5.66], P = .016) and either left ventricular end-systolic diameter greater than 50 mm or left ventricular end-systolic diameter index greater than 25 mm/m2 (hazard ratio, 1.64 [1.05-2.55], P = .030) predicted survival independently over and above age, gender, and bicuspid phenotype. Therefore, patients who underwent surgery based on any class I trigger had worse adjusted survival. However, patients who underwent surgery while meeting early imaging triggers (left ventricular end-systolic diameter index 20-25 mm/m2 or left ventricular ejection fraction 50% to 55%) had no significant outcome penalty. CONCLUSIONS In this international registry of severe aortic regurgitation, surgery when meeting class I triggers led to postoperative outcome penalty compared with earlier triggers (left ventricular end-systolic diameter index 20-25 mm/m2 or ventricular ejection fraction 50%-55%). This observation, which applies to expert centers where aortic valve repair is feasible, should encourage the global use of repair techniques and the conduction of randomized trials.

Abstract
Most patients with heart failure (HF) have multiple comorbidities, which impact their quality of life, aggravate HF, and increase mortality. Cardiovascular comorbidities include systemic and pulmonary hypertension, ischemic and valvular heart diseases, and atrial fibrillation. Non-cardiovascular comorbidities include diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney and pulmonary diseases, iron deficiency and anemia, and sleep apnea. In patients with HF with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors combined with calcium channel blockers and/or diuretics is an effective treatment regimen. Measurement of pulmonary vascular resistance via right heart catheterization is recommended for patients with HF considered suitable for implantation of mechanical circulatory support devices or as heart transplantation candidates. Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and reperfusion in patients with HF and angina pectoris refractory to antianginal medications. In patients with HF and atrial fibrillation, long-term anticoagulants are recommended according to the CHA2DS2-VASc scores. Valvular heart diseases should be treated medically and/or surgically. In patients with HF and DM, metformin is relatively safer; thiazolidinediones cause fluid retention and should be avoided in patients with HF and dyspnea. In renal insufficiency, both volume status and cardiac performance are important for therapy guidance. In patients with HF and pulmonary disease, beta-blockers are underused, which may be related to increased mortality. In patients with HF and anemia, iron supplementation can help improve symptoms. In obstructive sleep apnea, continuous positive airway pressure therapy helps avoid severe nocturnal hypoxia. Appropriate management of comorbidities is important for improving clinical outcomes in patients with HF.

Abstract
The clinical outcome of severe aortic regurgitation (AR) remains suboptimal, but surgery has been shown to have survival benefit over medical therapy. Postoperative survival is inferior in patients with reduced left ventricular function, and therefore early surgical intervention is recommended. Aortic valvuloplasty (AVP) is an attractive option to avoid the major drawbacks of prosthetic valves but has not been widely adopted. The etiology of AR is classified functionally into three groups: normal leaflet motion (type I), cusp prolapse (type II), and restriction (type III). Type I with dilatation of the sinus of Valsalva (type Ib) can be repaired by aortic valve reimplantation or aortic root remodeling with similar valve stability. Type I with dilatation of the aortic annulus (type Ic) can be managed by annuloplasty. Type II can be corrected by plication or resuspension techniques. Pericardial patch is necessary in AVP for type Id (perforation/fenestration) and type III but is associated with risk of recurrence. Bicuspid aortic valve is classified according to commissure angle: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and very asymmetrical. Tricuspidization is recommended for repair of very asymmetrical valves to avoid postoperative stenosis. Recent progress has achieved similar reoperation rates between bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valve repair. For Marfan syndrome, valve-sparing root replacement is advantageous compared to Bentall operation regarding late survival, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events, and endocarditis. Similar findings have been reported in acute aortic dissection. Both remodeling and reimplantation procedures provide similar favorable outcomes in these settings. Recent advances in AVP are summarized by quantitative assessment of cusp configuration (effective height and geometric height), graft size decision, use of template to cut the graft, and videoscopic assessment of post-repair cusp configuration. Due to these advances, AVP shows superior results to replacement surgery. Further concrete evidence with larger case volumes and longer observation periods are necessary to popularize AVP.

Impact of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction on Clinical Outcomes in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease. J Am Coll Cardiol 2022; 80:1071-1084. [PMID: 36075677 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2022.06.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic impact of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease has not been previously studied. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic impact of LVEF in BAV patients according to the type of aortic valve dysfunction. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data collected in 2,672 patients included in an international registry of patients with BAV. Patients were classified according to the type of aortic valve dysfunction: isolated aortic stenosis (AS) (n = 749), isolated aortic regurgitation (AR) (n = 554), mixed aortic valve disease (MAVD) (n = 190), or no significant aortic valve dysfunction (n = 1,179; excluded from this analysis). The study population was divided according to LVEF strata to investigate its impact on clinical outcomes. RESULTS The risk of all-cause mortality and the composite endpoint of aortic valve replacement or repair (AVR) and all-cause mortality increased when LVEF was <60% in the whole cohort as well as in the AS and AR groups, and when LVEF was <55% in MAVD group. In multivariable analysis, LVEF strata were significantly associated with increased rate of mortality (LVEF 50%-59%: HR: 1.83 [95% CI: 1.09-3.07]; P = 0.022; LVEF 30%-49%: HR: 1.97 [95% CI: 1.13-3.41]; P = 0.016; LVEF <30%: HR: 4.20 [95% CI: 2.01-8.75]; P < 0.001; vs LVEF 60%-70%, reference group). CONCLUSIONS In BAV patients, the risk of adverse clinical outcomes increases significantly when the LVEF is <60%. These findings suggest that LVEF cutoff values proposed in the guidelines to indicate intervention should be raised from 50% to 60% in AS or AR and 55% in MAVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between left ventricular (LV) dilation and outcomes following valve-sparing root reimplantation. METHODS Patients with an indexed left ventricular internal diameter during systole (iLVIDS) of ≥ 2.0 cm/m2 were categorized as having LV dilation. Outcomes were post-operative aortic insufficiency (AI), re-intervention, and all-cause mortality. The cumulative incidence of each outcome was computed using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Adjusted comparisons between strata were performed for each outcome using a Cox proportional-hazards model. Where possible, the competing risk of death was accounted for. Multilevel mixed-effects ordered logistic regression was performed for AI grade at follow-up. RESULTS There were 295 patients of whom 52 had LV dilation. Operative outcomes were excellent; there were no significant differences between groups. Patients with LV dilation demonstrated significant improvement in iLVIDS overtime. There was no association between LV dilation and post-operative AI grade >2 (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.21 to 3.67, p = 0.89) or odds of increased AI grade overtime (OR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.30 to 1.93, p = 0.57). There were no re-interventions among those with LV dilation. Adjusted mortality was significantly higher among those with LV dilation (HR 5.56, 95% CI 1.56 to 19.9), however, deaths were unrelated to aortic valve dilation. CONCLUSIONS Left ventricular dilation is not associated with poorer operative outcomes, post-operative AI, or re-intervention. It is associated with increased risk of mortality, though not from valvular dysfunction. LV dilation should not deter VSRR when otherwise indicated.

Abstract
Acquired diseases of the aortic and mitral valves are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among Valvular heart diseases. Aortic stenosis (AS) is increasing in incidence in the United States (4,43 US), driven largely by an aging demographic. Aortic valve replacement is the only effective treatment of AS and has a dramatic mortality benefit. Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is the most common form of valvular heart disease (VHD) in the US, whereby MR is most often the result of mitral valve prolapse; rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a more common etiology of MR in underdeveloped countries. interventions for MR in the US are increasing.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have a lower prevalence in women than men; although, a higher mortality rate and a poorer prognosis are more common in women. However, there is a misperception of CVD female risk since women have commonly been considered more protected so that the real threat is vastly underestimated. Consequently, female patients are more likely to be treated less aggressively, and a lower rate of diagnostic and interventional procedures is performed in women than in men. In addition, there are substantial sex differences in CVD, so different strategies are needed. This review aims to evaluate the main gender-specific approaches in CVD.

Abstract
Background: Intravenous (IV) ribavirin is not approved in US and European Union, but it is authorized in China. Significant teratogenic and embryocidal effects of ribavirin have been found in almost all animal studies, it is critical to investigate the prevalence and trends of the utilization of IV ribavirin among reproductive age population. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and trends of IV ribavirin use among reproductive-age population in 2010–2017. Methods: The study design of our study is retrospective cross-sectional study based on healthcare database. We identified and extracted the data of residents aged 18–44 years by using Yinzhou healthcare information database at 21 January, 2018. A cohort of IV ribavirin users were identified through outpatient prescription records in 3 general hospitals and 24 community health centers from 2010 to 2017. We reported the number, proportion, and prevalence of the exposure to IV ribavirin stratified by sex, age, marital status, education level, occupation, hospital level, calendar year, diagnosis, and dosage. The overall trends of IV ribavirin use, and the trends in different levels of hospital and common diagnoses were further analyzed and described. Result: During the study period, the prevalence of IV ribavirin use among reproductive-age adults was 6.02% (48,287/801,667). Relatively higher prevalence were found in adults aged 40–44 (8.04%, 95% CI: 7.90–8.17), unmarried patients (8.91%, 95% CI: 8.74–9.08), and who had more than 9 years of education (6.82%, 95% CI: 6.74–6.90). Compared to secondary and tertiary hospitals, IV ribavirin was more likely to be dispensed in primary hospitals (19.44%, 95% CI: 19.28–19.61). The most common diagnoses were acute upper respiratory infections (AURIs), accounting for 80% of the patients exposed to IV ribavirin. For patients with AURIs, the prevalence of IV ribavirin was nearly 30%. Overall, the prevalence of IV ribavirin use decreased from 1.72% in 2010 to 0.24% in 2017. Conclusion: We found IV ribavirin was mainly used for AURIs which suggested that a large amount of IV ribavirin use was probably inappropriate. The prevalence was decreasing by 87% over the past 8 years, and we encourage clinicians and pharmacists to continually avoid inappropriate use of IV ribavirin.

Abstract
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is a common valvular heart disease, but the optimal timing of surgical intervention remains controversial. In the natural history of chronic severe AR, sudden death is rare, and the annual mortality rate is comparatively low. Considering the hemodynamic features of combined volume and pressure overload and long-term compensation in patients with chronic AR, symptoms related to AR do not frequently occur. Therefore, the progression of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is a key factor in determining the timing of surgical intervention in patients with severe chronic AR. In addition to symptoms, an ejection fraction <50% and an LV endsystolic diameter (LVESD) >45 mm are appropriate cutoff values for surgical intervention in Japanese patients, whereas LV end-diastolic diameter is not a good indicator. An LVESD index of 25 mm/m2is controversial, because adjusting for body size may cause overcorrection in Japanese patients who have a small body size compared with Westerners. Accumulation of data from the Japanese population is indispensable for establishing guidelines on optimal management of patients with chronic AR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Valvular heart disease is a common health problem affecting both sexes and all age groups. Almost all guidelines are based on studies that mainly involved male patients. MAIN BODY The features of valvular heart diseases in women were essentially derived from small observational studies. These studies have shown that women differ from men in terms of the type of valve disease, pathology affecting the valve, perception of symptoms, parameters measured in echocardiography, response to drugs, surgical techniques, and postoperative outcomes. This review was conducted to demonstrate the uniqueness of valvular heart diseases in women and raise awareness about the need for sex-based randomized study designs to provide a piece of proper evidence to support suitable sex-based guidelines and recommendations. Moreover, it briefly describes the effects of pregnancy on women with valvular heart diseases and the impact of the latter on the course of pregnancy and the well-being of the mother and fetus. CONCLUSION Valvular heart diseases in women are different from those in men. Sex-based guidelines for managing valvular heart diseases are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affects over 40 million people globally who are predominantly young and from impoverished communities. The barriers to valvular intervention are complex and contribute to the high morbidity and mortality associated with RHD. The rates of guideline indicated intervention in patients with significant RHD have not yet been reported. METHODS From 2007 to 2017, we used the Australian Northern Territory Cardiac Database to identify patients with RHD who fulfilled at least one ESC/EACTS guideline indication for mitral valve intervention. Baseline clinical status, comorbidities, echocardiographic parameters, indication for intervention, referral and any interventions were recorded. RESULTS 154 patients (mean age 38.5 ± 14.6, 66.1% female) were identified as having a class I or IIa indication for invasive management. Symptoms, atrial fibrillation and pulmonary hypertension were the most common indications for surgery (74.5%, 48.1%, 40.9%). From the onset of a guideline indication the actuarial rates of accepted referral and intervention within two-years were 66.0% ± 4.0% and 53.1% ± 4.4% respectively. Of those who were referred and accepted for intervention, 86% received it within 2 years. The rates of accepted referral for patients with class I indications were 72.5% ± 4.2% while class IIa indications were 42.5% ± 9.0% (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Approximately half of Aboriginal patients with significant rheumatic mitral valve disease who met ESC/EACTS guideline indications for intervention received surgery or valvuloplasty within two-years. A significant difference in referral rates was found between Class I and Class IIa indications for valvular intervention.

Prognostic implications of left atrial dilation in aortic regurgitation due to bicuspid aortic valve. Heart 2021; 108:137-144. [PMID: 33833069 DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2020-318907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic value of left atrial volume index (LAVI) in patients with moderate to severe aortic regurgitation (AR) and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). METHODS 554 individuals (45 (IQR 33-57) years, 80% male) with BAV and moderate or severe AR were selected from an international, multicentre registry. The association between LAVI and the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality or aortic valve surgery was investigated with Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. RESULTS Dilated LAVI was observed in 181 (32.7%) patients. The mean indexed aortic annulus, sinus of Valsalva, sinotubular junction and ascending aorta diameters were 13.0±2.0 mm/m2, 19.4±3.7 mm/m2, 16.5±3.8 mm/m2 and 20.4±4.5 mm/m2, respectively. After a median follow-up of 23 (4-82) months, 272 patients underwent aortic valve surgery (89%) or died (11%). When compared with patients with normal LAVI (<35 mL/m2), those with a dilated LAVI (≥35 mL/m2) had significantly higher rates of aortic valve surgery or mortality (43% and 60% vs 23% and 36%, at 1 and 5 years of follow-up, respectively, p<0.001). Dilated LAVI was independently associated with reduced event-free survival (HR=1.450, 95% CI 1.085 to 1.938, p=0.012) after adjustment for LV ejection fraction, aortic root diameter, LV end-diastolic diameter and LV end-systolic diameter. CONCLUSIONS In this large, multicentre registry of patients with BAV and moderate to severe AR, left atrial dilation was independently associated with reduced event-free survival. The role of this parameter for the risk stratification of individuals with significant AR merits further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY Chronic severe aortic regurgitation (AR) is associated with progressive accumulation of interstitial fibrosis and disruption of myocardial structure. After aortic valve replacement (AVR), the negative remodeling process reverses, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) improves but not in all patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of fragmented QRS (F-QRS), which is a possible marker of myocardial fibrosis, with postoperative left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. METHODS A total of 147 consecutive patients with AVR were included in this study. F-QRS was identified by the presence of various RSR' patterns (QRS duration <120 ms) such as additional R wave (R prime)or notching of the R or S wave in at least two consecutive leads. Patients were compared in two groups based on the presence or absence of F-QRS. A logistic regression model was used to determine independent predictors of postoperative LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF <50%). RESULTS Patients with F-QRS were associated with poor recovery of LV systolic function after AVR compared to the patients without F-QRS, regardless of preoperative LVEF (p = .008). F-QRS was found to be an independent predictor of postoperative LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF <50%). Lower preoperative LVEF and increased LV end diastolic diameter index were also found as independent risk factors for postoperative LV systolic dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS As a possible marker of myocardial fibrosis, F-QRS was associated with postoperative LV systolic dysfunction. Therefore, as a simple and convenient clinical parameter, F-QRS may be used to predict poor recovery of LVEF after AVR.

Sex Differences in Left Ventricular Remodeling and Outcomes in Chronic Aortic Regurgitation. J Clin Med 2020; 9:E4100. [PMID: 33353247 PMCID: PMC7767247 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9124100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Revised: 12/05/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) dilatation is a key compensatory feature in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation (AR). However, sex-differences in LV remodeling and outcomes in chronic AR have been poorly investigated so far. METHODS We performed cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) including phase-contrast velocity-encoded imaging for the measurement of regurgitant fraction (RegF) at the sinotubular junction, in consecutive patients with at least mild AR on echocardiography. We assessed LV size (end-diastolic volume indexed to body surface area, LVEDV/BSA) and investigated sex differences between LV remodeling and increasing degrees of AR severity. Cox-regression models were used to test differences in outcomes between men and women using a composite of heart failure hospitalization, unscheduled AR intervention, and cardiovascular death. RESULTS 270 consecutive patients (59.6% male, 59.8 ± 20.8 y/o, 59.6% with at least moderate AR on echocardiography) were included. On CMR, mean RegF was 18.1 ± 17.9% and a total of 65 (24.1%) had a RegF ≥ 30%. LVEDV/BSA was markedly closer related with AR severity (RegF) in men compared to women. Each 1-SD increase in LVEDV/BSA (mL/m2) was associated with a 9.7% increase in RegF in men and 5.9% in women, respectively (p-value for sex-interaction < 0.001). Based on previously published reference values, women-in contrast to men-frequently had a normal LV size despite severe AR (e.g., for LVEDV/BSA on CMR: 35.3% versus 8.7%, p < 0.001). In a Cox-regression model adjusted for age, LVEDV/BSA and RegF, women were at significantly higher risk for the composite endpoint when compared to men (adj. HR 1.81 (95%CI 1.09-3.03), p = 0.022). CONCLUSION In patients with chronic AR, LV remodeling is a hallmark feature in men but not in women. Severity of AR may be underdiagnosed in female patients in the absence of LV dilatation. Future studies need to address the dismal prognosis in female patients with chronic AR.

Abstract
AIMS Timing surgery in chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) relies mostly on echocardiography. However, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may be more accurate for quantifying regurgitation and left ventricular (LV) remodelling. We aimed to compare the technical and clinical efficacies of echocardiography and CMR to account for the severity of the disease, the degree of LV remodelling, and predict AR-related outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 263 consecutive patients with isolated AR undergoing echocardiography and CMR. After a median follow-up of 33 months, 76 out of 197 initially asymptomatic patients reached the primary endpoint of AR-related events: 6 patients (3%) were admitted for heart failure, and 70 (36%) underwent surgery. Adjusted survival models based on CMR improved the predictions of the primary endpoint based on echocardiography: R2 = 0.37 vs. 0.22, χ2 = 97 vs. 49 (P < 0.0001), and C-index = 0.80 vs. 0.70 (P < 0.001). This resulted in a net classification index of 0.23 (0.00-0.46, P = 0.046) and an integrated discrimination improvement of 0.12 (95% confidence interval 0.08-0.58, P = 0.02). CMR-derived regurgitant fraction (<28, 28-37, or >37%) and LV end-diastolic volume (<83, 183-236, or >236 mL) adequately stratified patients with normal EF. The agreement between techniques for grading AR severity and assessing LV dilatation was poor, and CMR showed better reproducibility. CONCLUSIONS CMR improves the clinical efficacy of ultrasound for predicting outcomes of patients with AR. This is due to its better reproducibility and accuracy for grading the severity of the disease and its impact on the LV. Regurgitant fraction, LV ejection fraction, and end-diastolic volume obtained by CMR most adequately predict AR-related events.

Preoperative left ventricular end-systolic dimension predicts occurrence of aortic insufficiency following aortic valve preservation and repair surgery. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2020; 164:1069-1076.e2. [PMID: 33461811 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2020.10.159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Revised: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative left ventricular (LV) end-systolic dimension (LVESD) ≥5.0 cm is a class IIa indication for surgical intervention for aortic insufficiency (AI); however, the effect of LV dilatation on the longevity of the aortic valve (AV) has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to assess the impact of preoperative LV dimension on the long-term outcome of AV preservation surgery. METHODS Between 2009 and 2019, 256 patients underwent AV preservation surgery at a single center. The median duration of follow-up was 5 years. The primary outcome was the development of >1+ AI at 6 years; secondary outcomes include long-term mortality, freedom from >2+ AI, and freedom from AV reoperation. Cox proportional hazard analysis was performed to identify predictors of AV deterioration. RESULTS In-hospital mortality was 0.8%, and mean survival at 8 years was 85.5 ± 3.4%. Mean freedom from >1+ AI at 6 years was 71.1 ± 3.4%. Patients with preoperative indexed LVESD (LVESDi) ≥2.0 cm/m2 were at greater risk of developing >1+ AI at 6 years compared with patients with preoperative LVESDi of 1.5 to 1.9 cm/m2 and ≤1.4 cm/m2 (50.3 ± 0.1% vs 80.9 ± 0.1% vs 92.2 ± 0.1%, respectively; P < .01). On risk-adjusted multivariable analysis, preoperative LVESDi was an independent predictor for recurrence of >1+ AI (hazard ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-3.4). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative LVESDi ≥2 cm/m2 is associated with increased risk of recurrent >1+ AI following AV preservation surgery. Further investigation of the appropriate operative threshold for AI may be warranted.

Abstract
The natural history of aortic regurgitation is not as benign as once believed, even in asymptomatic patients with preserved left ventricular function. Aortic valve surgery can prolong survival in these patients. However, both mechanical and biological aortic valve replacement have major disadvantages, especially in young patients. Aortic valve-preserving surgery has attracted a great deal of attention because it has a significant survival benefit over replacement. Nonetheless, aortic valve-preserving surgery has not been widely adopted due to the complexity of the technique and assessment (i.e., long learning curve). With recent technical and theoretical advances, aortic valve-preserving surgery has increasingly been performed with better outcomes, and therefore earlier surgical intervention in cases of aortic regurgitation has been considered. Recent advances in aortic valve-preserving surgery include repair-oriented classification of the etiology of aortic regurgitation, objective assessment of the cusp configuration (i.e., effective height and geometric height), use of aortic annuloplasty, introduction of two reproducible valve-sparing root replacement procedures (i.e., aortic valve reimplantation and aortic root remodeling techniques), standardization of aortic valve-preserving surgery, and assessment of cusp configuration with aortoscopy. A number of prospective multicenter studies are currently underway and will clarify the role of aortic valve-preserving surgery in the treatment of aortic regurgitation in the near future.

Early Valve Replacement for Severe Aortic Valve Disease: Effect on Mortality and Clinical Ramifications. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9092694. [PMID: 32825345 PMCID: PMC7563468 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9092694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Revised: 08/17/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Timing of aortic valve intervention for chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) and/or aortic stenosis (AS) potentially affects long-term survival. The 2014 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) guidelines provide recommendations for the timing of intervention. Subsequent to the guidelines' release, several studies have been published that suggest a survival benefit from earlier timing of surgery for severe AR and/or AS. The aim of this review was to determine whether patients who have chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) and/or aortic stenosis (AS) have a survival benefit from earlier timing of aortic valve surgery. Medical databases were systematically searched from January 2015 to April 2020 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies that examined the timing of aortic valve replacement surgery for chronic AR and/or AS. For chronic AR, four observational studies and no RCTs were identified. For chronic AS, five observational studies, one RCT and one meta-analysis were identified. One observational study examining mixed aortic valve disease (MAVD) was identified. All of these studies, for AR, AS, and MAVD, found long-term survival benefit from timing of aortic valve surgery earlier than the current guidelines. Larger prospective RCTs are required to evaluate the benefit of earlier surgical intervention.

Abstract
The development of new devices and treatment options has greatly increased the interest in heart valve diseases. In this context, the consideration of gender differences in diagnosis, treatment success, and prognosis is of great importance. Available data show that women and men with heart valve disease have different risk profiles, which have a significant impact on treatment outcomes and prognosis. It is the purpose of this review article to give an overview of gender-related differences in patients with valvular heart disease, regarding clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes. In light of the emerging treatment possibilities, future research should emphasize the role of gender since both sexes benefit from tailored management.

Pure Aortic Regurgitation in Pediatric Patients. Am J Cardiol 2019; 124:1731-1735.

Abstract
Aortic regurgitation (AR) continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. Although echocardiographic parameters are well established for the adults, there are no clear cut-off values for AR severity in children. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is considered a "gold standard" for a quantitative evaluation of the AR, but it is not widely available. This study assesses which echo parameter can accurately define AR severity as assessed by CMR in pediatric patients. A total of 27 pediatric patients (12 ± 3 years, range 6 to 18 years) with different degree of AR underwent echo assessment within an average of 35 days from CMR. CMR included phase-contrast velocity-encoded imaging for the measurement of regurgitant fraction (RF). Severe AR was defined as RF >33%. Echo evaluation included vena contracta, pressure half time, the ratio between the AR jet and the left ventricular outflow tract diameter (jet/left ventricular outflow tract), presence of holodiastolic reversal flow in abdominal aorta, the ratio between the velocity-time integral of the reversal flow over the forward flow in descending aorta (echoRF). Among the studied parameters, the strongest predictor of severe AR, as assessed by CMR, was echoRF. Receiver-operating characteristic curve showed, for a cutoff >0.38, an area under the curve of 0.886 (p <0.0001), a sensitivity of 71%, and a specificity of 100%. Correlation coefficient between echoRF and RF was R = 0.929 (p <0.0001). In conclusion, echoRF is a strong echo-Doppler marker of severe AR in the pediatric population. This parameter should be routinely added in the standard echo evaluation of pediatric patients with AR.
