Association of Bovine Arch Anatomy With Incident Stroke After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e032963. [PMID: 38348804 PMCID: PMC11010090 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.032963] [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: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute ischemic stroke complicates 2% to 3% of transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs). This study aimed to identify the aortic anatomic correlates in patients after TAVR stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a single-center, retrospective study of patients who underwent TAVR at the Mayo Clinic between 2012 and 2022. The aortic arch morphology was determined via a manual review of the pre-TAVR computed tomography images. An "a priori" approach was used to select the covariates for the following: (1) the logistic regression model assessing the association between a bovine arch and periprocedural stroke (defined as stroke within 7 days after TAVR); and (2) the Cox proportional hazards regression model assessing the association between a bovine arch and long-term stroke after TAVR. A total of 2775 patients were included (59.6% men; 97.8% White race; mean±SD age, 79.3±8.4 years), of whom 495 (17.8%) had a bovine arch morphology. Fifty-seven patients (1.7%) experienced a periprocedural stroke. The incidence of acute stroke was significantly higher among patients with a bovine arch compared with those with a nonbovine arch (3.6% versus 1.7%; P=0.01). After adjustment, a bovine arch was independently associated with increased periprocedural strokes (adjusted odds ratio, 2.16 [95% CI, 1.22-3.83]). At a median follow-up of 2.7 years, the overall incidence of post-TAVR stroke was 6.0% and was significantly higher in patients with a bovine arch even after adjusting for potential confounders (10.5% versus 5.0%; adjusted hazard ratio, 2.11 [95% CI, 1.51-2.93]; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS A bovine arch anatomy is associated with a significantly higher risk of periprocedural and long-term stroke after TAVR.

Lau M, Chan DTL, Bhatia I, Au TWK. Hybrid approach for cerebral protection in open-heart surgery: Case series. J Card Surg 2022; 37:2727-2731. [PMID: 35766011 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke remains one of the most important complications of cardiac surgery and occurs in 2.2% after open-heart procedure. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The use of a cerebral protection system during transcatheter aortic valve implantation may be associated with a lower risk of periprocedural strokes, and mortality at 30 days. The aim of the present study was to assess the safety and feasibility of this device in patients at high risk for stroke during open cardiac surgery. METHODS We present six patients with a high risk of perioperative stroke who underwent placement of Sentinel cerebral protection system during various open-heart operations between 2018 and 2021. RESULTS The system was successfully deployed, and debris was retrieved in all patients. There was no device-related complication or development of ischemic stroke postoperatively. One patient suffered from intracranial hemorrhage due to peri-operative coagulopathy. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated the feasibility and safety of this hybrid approach with a high debris capture rate. It encourages further study to evaluate the benefits of the Sentinel cerebral protection system in reducing stroke and mortality in selected patients undergoing open-heart surgery.

Anatomical reasons for failure of dual-filter cerebral embolic protection application in TAVR: A CT-based analysis. J Card Surg 2021; 36:4537-4545. [PMID: 34580919 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The dual-filter Sentinel™ Cerebral Protection System (Sentinel-CPS) is increasingly used during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, complex vascular anatomy may challenge Sentinel-CPS deployment. AIM OF THE STUDY We sought to investigate the impact of anatomic features of the aortic arch and the supra-aortic arteries on technical device failure of Sentinel-CPS application. METHODS Analysis of the multislice computed tomography pre-TAVR aortograms of all patients undergoing TAVR with Sentinel-CPS between 2016 and 2020 (n = 92) was performed. We investigated the impact of aortic arch anatomy, configuration, and the angles of the supra-aortic arteries, including the determination of vascular tortuosity index on device failure of Sentinel-CPS application. RESULTS The Sentinel-CPS was applied successfully in 83 patients (90.2%). Device failure in nine patients (9.8%) was due to the infeasibility to perform correct deployment of both filters (n = 7) and to obtain peripheral radial access (n = 2). Patients with a failure of Sentinel-CPS application had a higher right subclavian tortuosity index (217 [92-324] vs. 150 [42-252], p = .046), a higher brachiocephalic tortuosity index (27 [5-51] vs. 10 [0-102], p = 0.033) and a larger angulation of the brachiocephalic artery (59° [22-80] vs. 39° [7-104], p = .014) compared with patients with successful application. A brachiocephalic angle more than 59° was predictive for device failure. No differences in aortic arch anatomy or common carotid artery tortuosity were detected between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Brachiocephalic tortuosity was found to be associated with failure of Sentinel-CPS application. Filter-based usage should be avoided in TAVR patients with a brachiocephalic angle more than 59°.
