[PMID: 38847677 PMCID: PMC11155595 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000038442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024] Open
Abstract
To explore the risk factors affecting the length of hospital stay (LOS) as well as to examine the relationship between preoperative serum albumin levels and LOS following non-cardiac, non-obstetric surgery in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PHTN). This study represents a secondary retrospective analysis based on 287 non-cardiac, non-obstetric procedures performed on 195 PTHN patients at a single institution in the USA between 2007 and 2013. The primary outcome was the LOS. We conducted a multiple logistic regression analysis to compare the LOS between the 2 groups, divided at a serum albumin level of 3.5 g/dL. After adjusting for multiple covariates, the ORs for the long length of stay (LOS > 7 days) for the high group(albumin > 3.5 g/dL) compared with the low group (albumin ≤ 3.5 g/dL) were 0.35 (95%CI: 0.21~0.6), 0.41 (95%CI: 0.22 ~0.76), 0.41 (95%CI: 0.18~0.94) from model 2 to model 4. The stratified analysis results indicate that these findings are stable (p for trend > 0.05). In this study, it was observed that low levels of preoperative albumin were associated with an increased risk of prolonged hospital stay after non-cardiac, non-obstetric surgery in patients with PHTN. This implies that optimizing preoperative nutrition could potentially reduce the LOS for non-cardiac, non-obstetric surgery in patients with PHTN.

Pulmonary Hypertension in Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair for Secondary Mitral Regurgitation: The COAPT Trial. J Am Coll Cardiol 2021; 76:2595-2606. [PMID: 33243380 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2020.09.609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2020] [Revised: 09/25/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension worsens prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF) and secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether baseline pulmonary hypertension influences outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) in patients with HF with SMR. METHODS In the COAPT (Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation) trial, 614 patients with HF with moderate-to-severe or severe SMR were randomized to TMVr with the MitraClip plus guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) (n = 302) versus GDMT alone (n = 312). Baseline pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) estimated from echocardiography was categorized as substantially increased (≥50 mm Hg) versus not substantially increased (<50 mm Hg). RESULTS Among 528 patients, 184 (82 TMVr, 102 GDMT) had PASP of ≥50 mm Hg (mean: 59.1 ± 8.8 mm Hg) and 344 (171 TMVr, 173 GDMT) had PASP of <50 mm Hg (mean: 36.3 ± 8.1 mm Hg). Patients with PASP of ≥50 mm Hg had higher 2-year rates of death or HF hospitalization (HFH) compared to those with PASP of <50 mm Hg (68.8% vs. 49.1%; adjusted hazard ratio: 1.52; 95% confidence interval: 1.17 to 1.97; p = 0.002). Rates of death or HFH were reduced by TMVr versus GDMT alone, irrespective of baseline PASP (pinteraction = 0.45). TMVr reduced PASP from baseline to 30 days to a greater than GDMT alone (adjusted least squares mean: -4.0 vs. -0.9 mm Hg; p = 0.006), a change that was associated with reduced risk of death or HFH between 30 days and 2 years (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.91 per -5 mm Hg PASP; 95% confidence interval: 0.86 to 0.96; p = 0.0009). CONCLUSIONS Elevated PASP is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with HF with severe SMR. TMVr with the MitraClip reduced 30-day PASP and 2-year rates of death or HFH compared with GDMT alone, irrespective of PASP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is common in patients with advanced heart failure. PVR generally improves after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, but the rate of decrease has not been quantified and the patient characteristics most strongly associated with this improvement are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed 1581 patients from the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support registry who received a primary continuous-flow LVAD, had a baseline PVR of ≥3 Wood units (WU), and had PVR measured at least once postoperatively. Multivariable linear mixed effects modeling was used to evaluate independent associations between postoperative PVR and patient characteristics. PVR decreased by 1.53 WU (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27-1.79 WU) per month in the first 3 months postoperatively, and by 0.066 WU (95% CI 0.060-0.070 WU) per month thereafter. Severe mitral regurgitation at any time during follow-up was associated with a 1.29 WU (95% CI 1.05-1.52 WU) higher PVR relative to absence of mitral regurgitation at that time. In a cross-sectional analysis, 15%-25% of patients had persistently elevated PVR of ≥3 WU at any given time within 36 months after LVAD implantation. CONCLUSION The PVR tends to decrease rapidly early after implantation, and only more gradually thereafter. Residual mitral regurgitation may be an important contributor to elevated postoperative PVR. Future research is needed to understand the implications of elevated PVR after LVAD implantation and the optimal strategies for prevention and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the hemodynamic effects of intraoperative intravenous milrinone versus inhalational milrinone at two timepoints in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension undergoing mitral valve surgery. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed in 100 patients with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis (with/without regurgitation) and right ventricular systolic pressure > 50 mm Hg. They were divided into two groups based on the strategy used to reduce pulmonary hypertension. Fifty patients had inhalational milrinone after sternotomy until initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass and after release of the aortic crossclamp until weaning off cardiopulmonary bypass. The other 50 patients received an intravenous loading dose of milrinone 50 µg·kg-1 over 10 min on release of the aortic crossclamp. Both groups received intravenous milrinone 0.5 µg·kg-1 during weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. Hemodynamic data were evaluated at the 3 timepoints. RESULTS Pulmonary artery pressures, central venous pressure, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure decreased significantly in the inhalational milrinone group compared to the intravenous milrinone group. Systemic vascular resistance index and cardiac index were significantly higher and pulmonary vascular resistance index was significantly lower in the inhalational milrinone group. The mean arterial pressure-to-mean pulmonary artery pressure ratio was significantly lower in the intravenous milrinone group. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and right ventricular fractional area change were increased significantly in the inhalational milrinone group. CONCLUSION Intraoperative inhalational milrinone before and after cardiopulmonary bypass is safe, easy to administer, and results in significant improvements in right ventricular hemodynamics, right ventricular function, and systemic hemodynamics.

Abstract
Introduction Milrinone at inotropic doses requires the addition of a vasoconstrictive drug. We hypothesized that terlipressin use could selectively recover the systemic vascular hypotension induced by milrinone without increasing the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) as norepinephrine in cardiac surgery patients. Patients and Methods Patients with pulmonary hypertension were enrolled in this study. At the start of rewarming a milrinone 25 μg/kg bolus over 10 min followed by infusion at the rate of 0.25 μg/kg/min. Just after the loading dose of milrinone, the patients were randomized to receive norepinephrine infusion at a dose of 0.1 μg/kg/min (norepinephrine group) or terlipressin infusion at a dose of 2 μg/kg/h (terlipressin group). Heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), central venous pressure, MPAP, systemic vascular resistance (SVR), PVR, cardiac output were measured after induction of anesthesia, after loading dose of milrinone, during skin closure, and in the intensive care unit till 24 h. Results Milrinone decreased MAP (from 79.56 ± 4.5 to 55.21 ± 2.1 and from 78.46 ± 3.3 to 54.11 ± 1.1) and decreased the MPAP (from 59.5 ± 3.5 to 25.4 ± 2.6 and from 61.3 ± 5.2 to 25.1 ± 2.3) in both groups. After norepinephrine, there was an increase in the MAP which is comparable to terlipressin group (P > 0.05). Terlipressin group shows a significant lower MPAP than norepinephrine group (24.5 ± 1.4 at skin closure vs. 43.3 ± 2.1, than 20.3 ± 2.1 at 24 h vs. 39.8 ± 3.8 postoperatively). There is a comparable increase in the SVR in both group, PVR showed a significant increase in the norepinephrine group compared to the terlipressin group (240.5 ± 23 vs. 140.6 ± 13 at skin closure than 190.3 ± 32 vs. 120.3 ± 10 at 24 h postoperatively). Conclusion The use of terlipressin after milrinone will reverse systemic hypotension with lesser effect on the pulmonary artery pressure.

Abstract
Background and Aims There is conflicting evidence on adverse effect of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) on outcomes after cardiac surgery for rheumatic heart disease (RHD). The authors studied Indian patients with RHD and preoperative PAH, who undergo cardiac surgery with a hypothesis that they have poor short and long-term outcomes. Methods This was a retrospective observational study of 407 patients. The patients were divided in three groups based on PAH estimated on echocardiograph as; no or mild PAH (pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) <30 mm of Hg); moderate PAH (PASP 31-55 mm of Hg) and severe PAH (PASP >55 mm of Hg). The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality and major morbidities; while secondary endpoint was long-term survival. Results In-hospital mortality was 24 (5.9%); and was not different in patients with severe, (9.1%), moderate (4.5%) or mild PAH (2.8%) (P = 0.09). Patients with severe PAH had higher incidence of prolonged ventilation (P = 0.007). Factors independently associated with mortality were; >2-packed cell transfusion, prolonged ventilation and acute kidney injury but not moderate and severe PAH. Patients with mitral stenosis (MS) and severe PAH had significantly higher mortality as compared to no or mild PAH (P = 0.03) on long-term follow-up [81.37% (mean duration 19.40 ± 14.10 months)], mortality was 8% and not statistically different (P = 0.25) across PAH categories. Conclusion Moderate and severe PAH does not affect short and long term outcomes of patients undergoing valve surgery for RHD. Patients with MS with severe PAH had higher mortality compared to those with no PAH.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PHTN) is associated with increased post-procedure morbidity and mortality. Pre-procedure echocardiography (ECHO) is a widely used tool for evaluation of these patients, but its accuracy in predicting post-procedure outcomes is unproven. Self-reported exercise tolerance has not been evaluated for operative risk stratification of PHTN patients. Objective We analyzed whether self-reported exercise tolerance predicts outcomes (hospital length-of-stay [LOS], mortality and morbidity) in PHTN patients (WHO Class I–V) undergoing anesthesia and surgery. Methods and findings We reviewed 550 non-cardiac, non-obstetric procedures performed on 370 PHTN patients at a single institution between 2007 and 2013. All patients had cardiac ECHO documented within 1 year prior to the procedure. Pre-procedure comorbidities and ECHO data were collected. Functional status (< or ≥ 4 metabolic equivalents of task [METs]) was assigned based on responses to standard patient interview questions during the pre-anesthesia clinic visit. Multiple logistic regression was used to develop a risk score model (Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Risk Score; PHORS) and determine its value in predicting post-procedure outcomes. In an adjusted model, functional status <4 METs was independently associated with a LOS >7 days (p < .003), as were higher ASA class (p < .002), open surgical approach (p < .002), procedure duration > 2 hours (p < .001), and the absence of systemic hypertension (p = .012). PHORS Score ≥2 was associated with an increased 30-day major complication rate (28.7% vs. 19.2%; p < 0.001) and ICU admission rate (8.6% s 2.8%; p = .007), but no statistical difference in hospital readmissions rate (17.6% vs. 14.0%; p = .29), or mortality (3.5% vs. 1.4%; p = .75). Similar ECHO findings did not further improve outcome prediction. Conclusions Poor functional status is associated with severe PHTN and predicts increased LOS and post-procedure complications in patients with moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension with different etiologies. A risk assessment model predicts increased LOS with fair accuracy. A thorough evaluation of underlying etiologies of PHTN should be undertaken in every patient.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) frequently occurs in patients with left heart disease (LHD), including heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction and valvular heart disease. PH in patients with LHD is associated with worse outcomes making it an attractive target of therapy. Despite the strong rational for treatment, no clear benefits from treating with pulmonary arterial hypertension specific therapies in patients with PH from LHD have been found in clinical trials and some studies have demonstrated harm. Therefore, PH in the setting of LHD should be managed with optimal medical and surgical treatment of LHD and identification and treatment of comorbidities that could contribute to PH. Additionally, significant PH is a contraindication to heart transplantation and, in select patients with left heart failure, left ventricular unloading with prolonged inotrope infusion or left ventricular assist device implantation may successfully reduce pulmonary artery pressures and facilitate transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although the regression of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in mitral stenosis (MS) has been studied over varying periods postintervention, corresponding studies on the cardiac chamber alterations after surgery are very limited. We sought to determine the degree of reversal of these and the clinical status in connection with that of pulmonary artery pressures (PAPs) in the early and late postoperative periods. METHODS The preoperative, early, and 1-year postoperative data - functional class (FC), cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) in chest X-ray (CXR), and echocardiographically left atrium (LA), right atrium (RA), right ventricle (RV), left ventricle (LV), and pulmonary artery (PA) dimensions, PAP, tricuspid regurgitation (TR) - of 50 patients who had mitral valve replacement (MVR) for MS with PH were retrospectively analyzed for correlations with PAP (Pearson's), and their change (t-test), in relation to that in PAP. PH group-based [Group (Gp)-I PAP ≤60 mmHg, Gp-II PAP >60 mmHg] analysis highlighted the differences. RESULTS All parameters significantly correlated with the baseline PAP (p < 0.05), except LA (r = 0.081, p = 0.577). Postoperatively, there was significant reduction in all parameters (p < 0.001) and increase in LV (p < 0.003). The PAP regression was 39.42%; with the decrease in CTR, LA, and RA related to it, the early changes being significant (p < 0.01). The RV and PA showed lesser reduction (8.61% and 9.42%), late reduction being more conspicuous. The changes were greater and significant in Gp-II (especially PAP, RV, and PA). At 1 year, PAP normalized in only 19 (38%). Residual PH and chamber enlargement prevailed more in Gp-II. CONCLUSIONS This study emphasizes the importance of the baseline PAP in MS to which was proportionate the functional disability and the cardiac chamber alterations (except LA). Their postoperative improvement accompanying the PAP regression differed in degree and time frame relative to PAP. The higher pressure group showed greater regression, but greater prevalence of residual abnormalities, suggesting that the pathologic changes in them might take longer to resolve, necessitating further evaluation.

OBJECTIVE We sought to study the outcomes of redo-mitral valve surgery in patients with pulmonary hypertension. METHODS We reviewed data on redo mitral valve surgery in patients with pulmonary hypertension measured by Swan-Ganz catheter (mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 25 mm Hg or systolic pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 40 mm Hg). RESULTS Between 1996 and 2010, 637 patients underwent 658 redo mitral valve operations; 138 of them had pulmonary hypertension. The mean patient age was 61.3 (13.9) years, with mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 47.6% (13.2%). The mean systolic pulmonary artery pressure was 61.5 (16.8) mm Hg, and mean pulmonary artery pressure was 40.8 (11.6) mm Hg. Patients had one (71%, 98/138), two (23.9%, 33/138), and three (5.1%, 7/138) previous mitral valve operations. Thirty-day mortality was 10.1% (14/138). Multivariate predictors of 30-day mortality were chronic renal failure [odds ratio (OR), 8.041; P = 0.022], peripheral vascular disease (OR, 5.976; P = 0.025), previous mitral valve replacement (OR, 9.034; P = 0.014), and increasing age (OR, 1.077; P = 0.013). The severity of pulmonary hypertension did not impact 30-day (P = 0.314) or late mortality (P = 0.860). Kaplan-Meier survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 76.6% (n = 99), 65.7% (n = 62), and 55.9% (n = 41), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Patients with pulmonary hypertension that undergo redo mitral valve surgery have a 55.9% 5-year survival rate. Increasing age, chronic renal insufficiency, peripheral vascular disease, and preexisting mitral valve prosthesis are associated with early mortality. The severity of pulmonary hypertension does not affect operative mortality rates, but it may decrease 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is the end result of a variety of diverse pathologic processes. The chronic elevation in pulmonary artery pressure often leads to right ventricular pressure overload and subsequent right ventricular failure. In patients with left-sided cardiac disease, PH is quite common and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This article will review the literature as it pertains to the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of PH related to aortic valve disease, mitral valve disease, left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. Moreover, therapeutic strategies, which focus on treating the underlying cardiac pathology will be discussed.
