Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in extra-large annulus is challenging because of the limited sizes and data of the current commercial prosthesis sizes available. We present a case of successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement with a new balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve for an aortic annulus area >1,000 mm2 on computed tomography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients in need for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) present with an aortic annulus size larger than recommended by the manufacturer's instructions for use (IFU). AIMS To investigate procedural and short-term safety and efficacy of TAVI in patients with extra-large annuli (ELA). METHODS 30-day clinical outcome and valve performance as defined by VARC 3 of 144 patients with an aortic annulus size exceeding the permitted range were compared to a propensity-score matched control cohort of patients with an aortic annulus size consistent with the IFU. RESULTS Area and perimeter was 730.4 ± 53.9 mm2 and 96.7 ± 6.5 mm in the ELA group. Technical (96.5% vs. 94.4%) and device success (82.3% vs. 84.5%) were comparable in patients with ELA (annulus area 730.4 ± 53.9 mm2) and matched controls (annulus area 586.0 ± 48.2 mm2). There was no significant difference in 30-day mortality rate, major intraprocedural complications, type 3 or 4 bleedings, major vascular complications, or stroke. Moderate paravalvular leakage (PVL) occurred more frequent in the ELA group (8.9% vs 2.2%; p = 0.02). The rate of new pacemaker implantation was 7.0% in the ELA cohort and 15.0% in the control cohort, respectively (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION Treatment of ELA patients with third-generation TAVI prostheses is feasible and safe, providing similar device success and complication rates as in matched controls with regular-sized aortic annulus. Post-interventional pacemaker implantation rates were low compared to the control group, yet incidence of moderate PVL remains problematic in ELA patients.

Hemodynamics and Conduction Disturbance After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation With SAPIEN3 Ultra Versus SAPIEN3: The HomoSAPIEN 2 Study. Am J Cardiol 2023; 207:140-149. [PMID: 37738784 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.08.104] [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: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
The optimal percent oversizing (%OS) using the SAPIEN3 Ultra (S3U) weighing the incidence of paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) ≥ mild against the risk of conduction disturbance (CD) is not known. This study sought to define an optimal extent of the annulus area %OS suitable for transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the S3U compared with the SAPIEN3 (S3). A total of 350 patients with the S3U were compared with 606 patients with the S3. Patients were categorized depending on the degree of %OS. PVR ≥ mild was observed in 8.9% of patients with the S3U and in 21.8% of those with the S3 (p <0.001). The S3U demonstrated a sustainably lower incidence of PVR ≥ mild than the S3 in any extent of %OS. There was an inverse proportional relation between the extent of %OS and frequency of PVR ≥ mild in the S3, whereas the S3U group provided little change. The incidences of PVR ≥ mild were steady >5%OS in the S3 (5% to 10%OS: 13.3%, and >10%OS: 12.1%) and >0%OS in the S3U (0% to 5%OS: 5.9%, 5% to 10%OS: 6.0%, and >10%OS: 6.1%). An increasing %OS was independently associated with the occurrence of CD (<0%OS: 9.8%, 0% to 5%OS: 13.1%, 5% to 10%OS: 16.6%, and >10%OS: 19.2%, p = 0.012). The incidence of PVR ≥ mild and/or CD was the lowest (10.1%) in the 0% to 5%OS in patients with the S3U. In conclusion, the HomoSAPIEN2 study suggests that the S3U tolerates a lesser degree of %OS for mitigating PVR ≥ mild than the S3. Minimal %OS, ranging from 0% to 5%, may be optimal for the S3U with balancing the risk of PVR and CD.

Prospective validation of a risk score to predict pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 2023; 34:2225-2232. [PMID: 37702135 DOI: 10.1111/jce.16061] [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: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The need for pacemaker is a common complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We previously described the Emory Risk Score (ERS) to predict the need for new pacemaker implant (PPM) after TAVR. Metrics included in the score are a history of syncope, pre-existing RBBB, QRS duration ≥140 ms, and prosthesis oversizing ≥16%. To prospectively validate the previously described risk score. METHODS We prospectively evaluated all patients without pre-existing pacemakers, ICD, or pre-existing indications for pacing undergoing TAVR with the Edwards SAPIEN 3 prosthesis at our institution from March 2019 to December 2020 (n = 661). Patients were scored prospectively; however, results were blinded from clinical decision-making. The primary endpoint was PPM at 30 days after TAVR. Performance of the ERS was evaluated using logistic regression, a calibration curve to prior performance, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS A total of 48 patients (7.3%) had PPM after TAVR. A higher ERS predicted an increased likelihood of PPM (OR 2.61, 95% CI: 2.05-3.25 per point, p < 0.001). There was good correlation between observed and expected values on the calibration curve (slope = 1.04, calibration at large = 0.001). The area under the ROC curve was 0.81 (95% CI [0.74-0.88], p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The ERS prospectively predicted the need for PPM in a serial, real-world cohort of patients undergoing TAVR with a balloon-expandable prosthesis, confirming findings previously described in retrospective cohorts. Notably, the prospective performance of the score was comparable with that of the initial cohorts. The risk score could serve as a framework for preprocedural risk stratification for PPM after TAVR.

Three-Year Outcomes of Balloon-Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation According to Annular Size. Am J Cardiol 2023; 194:9-16. [PMID: 36921423 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.01.051] [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: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
Data on the association between annular size and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) outcomes beyond 1 year are limited. The present study assessed the association between the aortic annulus size and TAVI clinical and hemodynamic outcomes at 3 years of follow-up. Patients were classified according to the aortic annulus size as having small, intermediate, and large annuli (size <400, 400 to 574, and ≥575 mm2, respectively). The co-primary endpoints were all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization. Further, the changes in hemodynamic outcomes over the follow-up period (median 37, interquartile range: 26 to 45 months) were assessed. The present analysis included 850 patients, with 182 patients (21.4%), 538 patients (63.3%), and 130 patients (15.3%) in the small, intermediate, and large-sized aortic annulus groups, respectively. The groups had comparable age and pre-TAVI pressure gradients; however, patients with small annuli had higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk scores. Adjusted Cox regression analysis showed that compared to patients with intermediate-sized annuli, patients with small and large annuli had similar all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72 to 1.69 and HR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.16, respectively) and heart failure hospitalization rates (HR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.69 and HR = 1.26, 95% CI 0.73 to 2.17, respectively). However, patients with small annuli had consistently higher mean and peak pressure gradients and a higher risk of patient-prosthesis mismatch. The risks of moderate-to-severe regurgitation and structural valve deterioration were similar between the three groups. In conclusion, although patients with small annuli had higher transvalvular gradients, there was no significant association between the aortic annulus size and TAVI clinical outcomes at 3 years of follow-up. Future studies should compare the performance of transcatheter valve types in patients with different aortic annulus sizes.

Impact of different guidewires on the implantation depth using the largest self-expandable TAVI device. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 9:1064916. [PMID: 36684595 PMCID: PMC9849574 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1064916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The deployment process of the largest self-expandable device (STHV-34) during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) might be challenging due to stabilization issues. Whether the use of different TAVI-guidewires impact the procedural success and outcome is not well-known. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the impact of non-Lunderquist (NLu) vs. the Lunderquist (Lu) guidewires during TAVI using the STHV-34 on the procedural and 30-day outcomes. Methods The primary study endpoint was defined as the final implantation depth (ID) depending on the selected guidewire strategy. Key secondary endpoints included VARC-3-defined complications. Results The study cohort included 398 patients of four tertiary care institutions, of whom 79.6% (317/398) had undergone TAVI using NLu and 20.4% (81/398) using Lu guidewires. Baseline characteristics did not substantially differ between NLu and Lu patients. The average ID was higher in the Lu cohort (NLu vs. Lu: -5.2 [-7.0-(-3.5)] vs. -4.5 [-6.0-(-3.0)]; p = 0.022*). The optimal ID was reached in 45.0% of patients according to former and only in 20.1% according to nowadays best practice recommendations. There was no impact of the guidewire use on the 30-day outcomes, including conduction disturbances and pacemaker need (NLu vs. Lu: 15.1 vs. 18.5%; p = 0.706). Conclusion The use of the LunderquistTM guidewire was associated with a higher ID during TAVI with the STHV-34 without measurable benefits in the 30-day course concerning conduction disturbances and associated pacemaker need. Whether using different guidewires might impact the outcome in challenging anatomies should be further investigated in randomized studies under standardized conditions.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) has become a game changer in the management of severe aortic stenosis shifting the concept from inoperable or high-risk patients to intermediate or low surgical-risk individuals. Among devices available nowadays, there is no clear evidence that one device is better than the other or that one device is suitable for all patients. The selection of the optimal TAVI valve for every patient represents a challenging process for clinicians, given a large number of currently available devices. Consequently, understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each valve and personalising the valve selection based on patient-specific clinical and anatomical characteristics is paramount. This review article aims to both analyse the available devices in the presence of specific clinical and anatomic features and offer guidance to select the most suitable valve for a given patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a streamlined and standardized procedure, different complications still remain and need the operators to be properly trained about their management. AREAS COVERED This review article aims at offering a practical overview of the most impactful TAVI complications, analyzing, and discussing the potential risk factors, and focusing on the available strategies for their management. EXPERT OPINION Complications following TAVI have been decreasing thanks to technical advancements and operators experience. The thorough knowledge of potential complications and their prevention played a key role in the decreasing of complications rates. Pre-procedural, computed tomography angiography assessment of patient's anatomical characteristics, allows to properly choose and tailor the best strategy for managing complications in most of cases. Nevertheless, further research is required to shed lights about the optimal strategies to adopt for managing TAVI complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare outcomes in Sapien 3 Ultra (S3U) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with extreme annular undersizing (EAU) versus nominal annular sizing (NAS). BACKGROUND The Edwards S3U valve has reduced paravalvular leak (PVL) in TAVR but outcomes remain unknown in extremely undersized anatomy. Implanting a smaller S3U valve may facilitate future redo-TAVR but risk compromising hemodynamics. METHODS From December 2019 to July 2021, 366 patients with native aortic stenosis underwent S3U TAVR. Patients with EAU (annular areas >430 mm2 for 23 mm or >546 mm2 for 26 mm) were compared to NAS (338-430 mm2 for 23 mm or 430-546 mm2 for 26 mm). In-hospital and 30-day outcomes, and redo-TAVR feasibility were determined. RESULTS There were 79 (21.6%) EAU patients, with more bicuspid (p = 0.0014) and ≥moderate annular/left ventricular outflow tract calcification (p < 0.001). The EAU group had less annular oversizing than NAS group (23 mm: -8.2 ± 2.6% vs. 4.0 ± 7.0%, p < 0.001; 26 mm: -8.9 ± 2.2% vs. 6.7 ± 6.9%, p < 0.001), more balloon overfilling (71.3% vs. 11.6%, p < 0.001), and postdilatation (15.0% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.016). No differences were found in in-hospital or 30-day mortality and stroke (p > 0.05). Mild PVL (13.4% EAU vs. 11.5% NAS, p = 0.56) and mean gradients (23 mm: 13.0 ± 4.5 vs. 14.1 ± 5.4 mmHg, p = 0.40; 26 mm: 11.4 ± 4.1 vs. 11.5 ± 3.9 mmHg, p = 1.0) were similar at 30 days. Had the EAU group undergone NAS with the larger Sapien 3/S3U, by computed tomography analysis simulating 80:20 or 90:10 target implant depth, 33.3%-60.9% (vs. 4.3%-23.2%) would not be feasible for redo-TAVR due to high risk of coronary obstruction. CONCLUSIONS In this first report of EAU with S3U TAVR, similar excellent short-term outcomes can be achieved compared to NAS, and may preserve future redo-TAVR option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite excellent procedural results in a broad clinical population, certain anatomical or clinical conditions are still challenging for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI). Whether the adherence to the instructions for use (IFU) or the use of a clinically suitable device is a prerequisite for procedural success has not been well characterized. AIMS The anatomical and clinical suitability of new-generation transcatheter heart valves (THV) was evaluated in an all-comers population (n = 540) at a high-volume center. METHODS Conformity with anatomical IFU criteria was evaluated in each implanted THV. In addition, the suitability of the implanted THV was verified in each case according to clinical and anatomical criteria, which had been previously defined according to the results of an international survey including 20 renowned TAVI operators. Furthermore, criteria of clinical suitability and adherence to IFU of each THV were applied to the overall cohort to analyze the proportion of patients in whom the use of the respective THV would have been judged to be unsuitable or off-label. RESULTS An off-label use of THV based on anatomical considerations was found in 20% of all procedures, whereas the implantation of a THV deemed to be clinically unsuitable was noted in 16.3% of all procedures. Clinical suitability and conformity with IFU were present to a varying extent across the THV systems. Neither clinical suitability, nor conformity with IFU were associated with device failure or periprocedural mortality. On multivariable analysis, aortic tortuosity, mean transaortic gradient and ascending aorta diameter were identified as independent predictors of device failure (VARC-3). CONCLUSIONS Off-label TAVI and the use of clinically unsuitable THVs were common, but did not affect procedural outcomes. The variety of clinical and anatomical coverage of the different THV systems emphasizes the importance of an individualized THV selection.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an established treatment for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. In recent years, an emphasis has been placed on simplification of the procedure. Balloon predilation was initially considered a mandatory step to cross and prepare the stenotic aortic valve, but several studies demonstrated the feasibility of performing TAVR without balloon valvuloplasty. Balloon postdilation of the implanted valve is sometimes required to optimise results, although many patients do not require this step. Contemporary consensus advocates an individualised approach to TAVR procedures and so balloon pre- and post-dilation are performed selectively. This review aims to outline the advantages and disadvantages of balloon pre- and post-dilation and to identify the scenarios in which they are required during TAVR procedures.

Abstract
Contemporary surgical and transcatheter aortic valve interventions offer effective therapy for a broad range of patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve disease. Both approaches have seen significant advances in recent years. Guidelines have previously emphasized ‘surgical risk’ in the decision between surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), although this delineation becomes increasingly obsolete with more evidence on the effectiveness of TAVR in low surgical risk candidates. More importantly, decisions in tailoring aortic valve interventions should be patient-centered, accounting not only for operative risk, but also anatomy, lifetime management and specific co-morbidities. Aspects to be considered in a patient-tailored aortic valve intervention are discussed in this article.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the relationship between the eccentric calcification of aortic valve and transcatheter heart valve (THV) distortion and the impact of THV distortion on echo parameters and clinical outcomes. Background The effects of eccentric calcification of the aortic valve on the THV distortion and the relationship between THV distortion and clinical impact were not fully understood. Methods Patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who were undergoing THV implantation were enrolled. Patients underwent preprocedural, postprocedural multislice computed tomography (MSCT), and follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). Delta calcium score (ΔCS) is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimal calcium scores of the three cusps, while valve distortion score (VDS) is defined as the difference between the longest and shortest stent frame, as obtained using MSCT. Patients were divided into two groups according to ΔCS: “noneccentric calcification group” and “eccentric calcification group.” Results A total of 118 patients were enrolled (59 patients in noneccentric and 59 in eccentric calcification groups). VDS was significantly lower in the noneccentric calcification group than in the eccentric calcification group (1.31 ± 0.82 mm vs. 1.73 ± 0.76 mm, p=0.004). VDS was not associated with the degree of paravalvular leak (PVL) and aortic valvular mean pressure gradient (AVPG) at 30-day and 1-year follow-up TTE and the cumulative rates of all-cause death and rehospitalization at 2-year clinical follow-up. Conclusions Eccentric valvular calcification was associated with longitudinal THV distortion. However, THV distortion was not associated with PVL, AVPG, and adverse clinical events during midterm follow-up.

Abstract
Importance Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common manifestation of acquired valvular heart disease in developed countries. Several large-scale randomized clinical trials investigating the entire spectrum of patients with severe symptomatic AS from low to prohibitive risk have established transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as a safe and effective alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement. Observations There are currently only 3 types of TAVR devices commercially available in the US, but several other valve types are undergoing clinical trials in the US. Because of fundamental differences in engineering features, each TAVR device type has specific strengths and limitations. This review aims to provide an overview of design features and clinical outcomes of various TAVR devices that are either commercially available or undergoing clinical investigation. Conclusions and Relevance Given the lack of large-scale head-to-head comparisons of various TAVR devices and the rapid development of new device iterations, there is insufficient evidence to claim superiority of one device type over another. Nonetheless, as each TAVR device has unique design characteristics, certain patient-related and anatomy-related factors may slightly favor one or several particular designs.

Abstract
Background:
Currently, 2 third-generation transcatheter valves, 29-mm Sapien-3 and 34-mm Evolut-R (ER), are indicated for large sized aortic annuli. We analyzed short and 1-year performance of these valves in patients with large (area ≥575 mm
2
or perimeter ≥85 mm) and extra-large (≥683 mm
2
or ≥94.2 mm) aortic annuli undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Methods:
A total of 833 patients across 12 centers with symptomatic aortic stenosis and large aortic annuli underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement with 29-mm Sapien-3 (n=640) or 34-mm ER (n=193). Clinical, anatomic, and procedural characteristics were collected, and Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 outcomes were reported.
Results:
Median aortic annulus area and perimeter were 617 mm
2
(591–657) and 89.1 mm (87.0–92.1), respectively (704 mm
2
[689–743] and 96.0 mm [94.5–97.9] in the subgroup of 124 patients with extra-large annuli). Overall device success was 94.3% (Sapien-3, 95.8% and ER, 89.3%;
P
=0.001), with a higher rate of significant paravalvular leak (
P
=0.004), second valve implantation (
P
=0.013), and valve embolization (
P
=0.009) in the ER group. Thirty-day and 1-year mortality was 2.4% and 9.2%, respectively, without differences between groups. Valve hemodynamics were excellent (mean gradient, 8.8±3.6 mm Hg; 3.3% rate of moderate-severe paravalvular leak) in the extra-large annulus, without differences compared with the large annulus group.
Conclusions:
In patients with large and extra-large aortic annuli, transcatheter aortic valve replacement using 29-mm Sapien-3 and 34-mm ER is safe and feasible. Observed differences in clinical outcomes and hemodynamic performance may guide valve choice in this cohort of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Abstract
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for the treatment symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) is indicated in patients with intermediate or higher surgical risk. Latest trials showed TAVR, and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) perform similarly at 1-year for the composite outcomes of mortality, stroke and rehospitalization. We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to compare individual outcomes at 1-year for TAVR compared to SAVR in low-risk patients. Methods PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane central were searched for all the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported 1-year comparative outcomes of TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Our conclusions are based upon the random-effects model using DerSimonian-Laird estimator. Results Data from 4 trials and 2887 randomized patients showed that TAVR had lower rates of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and atrial fibrillation compared to SAVR at 1-year follow-up (P < 0.05 for all). Also, TAVR was also associated with a significantly higher risk of permanent pacemaker implantation and moderate-severe paravalvular leak (P < 0.05). Conclusions The latest randomised trial data demonstrates that in short-term, TAVR is safe and effective in reducing all-cause mortality or stroke. Longer follow-up of RCTs is needed to determine the durability of clinical benefits in TAVR over SAVR in low-risk patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The UK & Ireland Implanters' registry is a multicenter registry which reports on real-world experience with novel transcatheter heart valves. BACKGROUND The 34 mm Evolut R transcatheter aortic valve is a self-expanding and fully recapturable transcatheter aortic valve, designed to treat patients with a large aortic annulus. METHODS Between January 2017 and April 2018, clinical, procedural and 30-day outcome data were prospectively collected from all patients receiving the 34 mm Evolut R valve across 17 participating centers in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The primary efficacy outcome was the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2(VARC-2)-defined endpoint of device success. The primary safety outcome was the VARC-2-defined composite endpoint of early safety at 30 days. RESULTS A total of 217 patients underwent attempted implant. Mean age was 79.5 ± 8.8 years and Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality Score 5.2% ± 3.4%. Iliofemoral access was used in 91.2% of patients. Device success was 79.7%. Mean gradient was 7.0 ± 4.6 mmHg and effective orifice area 2.0 ± 0.6 cm2 . Paravalvular regurgitation was more than mild in 7.2%. A new permanent pacemaker was implanted in 15.7%. Early safety was demonstrated in 91.2%. At 30 days, all-cause mortality was 3.2%, stroke 3.7%, and major vascular complication 2.3%. CONCLUSIONS Real-world experience of the 34 mm Evolut R transcatheter aortic valve demonstrated acceptable procedural success, safety, valve function, and incidence of new permanent pacemaker implantation.
