Abstract
Introduction Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a novel treatment strategy used to treat patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. It utilizes a percutaneous approach and is preferred over surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients at high surgical risk. The aim of this study was to audit the indications of the intervention with TAVI over SAVR in Bahrain Defence Force Hospital, Mohammed Bin Khalifa Bin Sulman AlKhalifa Cardiac Centre (BDF-MKCC), as well as note the outcomes of patients who underwent TAVI. Methods The indications for allocating aortic stenosis patients to TAVI over SAVR in BDF-MKCC were studied with regard to the European Society of Cardiology and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (ESC/EACTS) guidelines published in 2017. Data from 82 patients, which accounts for all patients who underwent TAVI, were collected retrospectively from electronic medical records and the percentage of compliance was calculated and analyzed. Results The compliance percentages of the 23 parameters for the intervention with TAVI that have been set by the ESC/EACTS are calculated, where BDF-MKCC were fully adherent to 12 out of the 23 standards. Moreover, the total number of patients that are compliant with all standards is 13 out of 82 (15.85%) compliant patients. Conclusion The centre showed non-compliance to many of the published standards. Hence, we created a checklist to ensure that the international guidelines are followed. We are looking forward to re-audit this aspect in the near future, to make certain that changes were done. We would also like to do a comparative study to compare the patients' outcomes before and after implementing the 2017 ESC/EACTS guidelines. Furthermore, we call for further studies to be conducted in this field and that is to evaluate the standards themselves as well as the safety of TAVI in those who are not eligible for it according to the ESC/EACTS.

Hum Genomics 2022; 16:36. [PMID: 36071494 PMCID: PMC9450445 DOI: 10.1186/s40246-022-00405-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect in human beings, with an estimated prevalence in the general population of between 0.5 and 2%. Moreover, BAV is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in the pediatric population. Patients with BAV may have no symptoms for life, and some of them may progress to aortic stenosis. Genetic factors increase the susceptibility and development of BAV. However, the pathogenesis and BAV are still unclear, and more genetic variants are still needed for elucidating the molecular mechanism and stratification of patients. The present study carried out screening of variants implicated in disease in BAV patients. The whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in 20 BAV patients and identified 40 different heterozygous missense mutations in 36 genes (MIB2, FAAH, S100A1, RGS16, MAP3K19, NEB, TTN, TNS1, CAND2, CCK, KALRN, ATP10D, SLIT3, ROS1, FABP7, NUP205, IL11RA, NPR2, COL5A1, CUBN, JMJD1C, ANXA7, TRIM8, LGR4, TPCN2, APOA5, GPR84, LRP1, NCOR2, AKAP11, ESRRB, NGB, AKAP13, WWOX, KCNJ12, ARHGEF1). The mutations in these genes were identified as recurrent variants implicated in disease by in silico prediction tool analysis. Nine genes (MIB2, S100A1, TTN, CCK, NUP205, LGR4, NCOR2, ESRRB, and WWOX) among the 36 genes were identified as variants implicated in disease via unanimous agreement of in silico prediction tool analysis and sequenced in an independent cohort of 137 BAV patients to validate the results of WES. BAV patients carrying these variants demonstrated reduced left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) (63.8 ± 7.5% vs. 58.4 ± 5.2%, P < 0.001) and larger calcification volume [(1129.3 ± 154) mm3 vs. (1261.8 ± 123) mm3, P < 0.001]. The variants in TTN, NUP205 and NCOR2 genes are significantly associated with reduced LVEF, and the variants in S100A1, LGR4, ESRRB, and WWOX genes are significantly associated with larger calcification volume. We identified a panel of recurrent variants implicated in disease in genes related to the pathogenesis of BAV. Our data speculate that these variants are promising markers for risk stratification of BAV patients with increased susceptibility to aortic stenosis.

Outcome of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis with new-generation devices. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2021; 32:20-28. [PMID: 33201993 DOI: 10.1093/icvts/ivaa231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Revised: 08/05/2020] [Accepted: 09/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare device success and paravalvular leak rates of 3 new-generation transcatheter aortic valve replacement devices in patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and to test their biomechanical performance in a computer-based simulation model of aortic root with increasing ellipticity. METHODS This retrospective multicentre study included 56 bicuspid aortic valve patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement with new-generation devices: Lotus/Lotus Edge (N = 15; 27%), Evolut-R (N = 20; 36%) and ACURATE neo (N = 21; 37%). Three virtual simulation models of aortic root with increasing index of eccentricity (0-0.25-0.5) were implemented. Stress distribution, stent-root contact area and paravalvular orifice area were computed. RESULTS Device success was achieved in 43/56 patients (77%) with comparable rates among Lotus (87%), Evolut-R (60%) and ACURATE neo (86%; P = 0.085). Moderate paravalvular leak rate was significantly lower in the Lotus group as compared to Evolut-R group (0% vs 30%; P = 0.027) and comparable to the ACURATE neo group (0% vs 10%; P = 0.33). By index of eccentricity = 0.5, Lotus showed a uniform and symmetric pattern of stress distribution with absent paravalvular orifice area, ACURATE neo showed a mild asymmetry with small paravalvular orifice area (1.1 mm2), whereas a severely asymmetric pattern was evident with Evolut-R, resulting in a large paravalvular orifice area (12.0 mm2). CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in bicuspid aortic valve patients with new-generation devices showed comparable device success rates. Lotus showed moderate paravalvular leak rate comparable to that of ACURATE neo and significantly lower than Evolut-R. On simulation, Lotus and ACURATE neo showed optimal adaptability to elliptic anatomies as compared to Evolut-R.
