Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common comorbidity in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) who are candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Herein, we sought to elucidate the prognostic value of preprocedural PH on the early and late mortality after TAVI. The Cochrane Library, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and ProQuest were screened using a predefined search query. We considered odds ratios (ORs) as the measure of effect. Meta-regression analysis was applied to investigate the potential impact of baseline characteristics on the outcomes. Egger's and Begg's tests were used to assess the publication bias. Thirty-three studies comprising 34 datasets representing 68,435 patients were included in the analysis. Regardless of the definition and severity of PH, pooled data analysis indicated that preprocedural PH was associated with higher cardiac and overall 30-day [OR, 1.45 (1.15-1.82) and OR, 1.75 (1.42-2.17), respectively], and 1-year mortality [OR, 1.63 (1.35-1.96) and OR, 1.59 (1.38-1.82), respectively]. Meta-regression analysis demonstrated that older age, higher New York Heart Association function class, history of hypertension, diabetes, and lower left ventricular ejection fraction were predictors of higher mortality rate following TAVI. Moreover, we found that preprocedural PH is significantly associated with higher in-hospital mortality and 30-day acute kidney injury. Our results demonstrated that preprocedural PH is associated with higher early and late cardiac and overall mortality following TAVI; however, this finding is limited regarding the considerable inconsistency in the definition of PH and PH severity among studies.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the impact of the right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling on the outcome of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI), and to describe changes in right ventricular function, pulmonary hypertension, and their ratio after TAVI. METHODS Three hundred and seventy-seven patients from the Italian ClinicalService Project, who underwent TAVI between February 2011 and August 2020, were included. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP) ratio was retrospectively calculated as a surrogate of RV-PA coupling. The population was stratified according to TAPSE/PASP using a cut-off of 0.36 mm/mmHg derived from a receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The primary end point was 6-month all-cause death. RESULTS Compared with patients with a TAPSE/PASP ratio ≥0.36 mm/mmHg (81%), those with TAPSE/PASP ratio <0.36 mm/mmHg (19%) had more comorbidities and were more symptomatic.Moreover, they were more likely to receive general anesthesia and an old generation device. Device success was similar between the two groups. A TAPSE/PASP ratio <0.36 mm/mmHg was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death at 6-months (17.3% versus 5.3%; adjusted HR 2.66; P = 0.041). The prognostic impact of the TAPSE/PASP ratio was stronger than the impact of TAPSE and PASP as separate parameters and was independent of the surgical risk score. Both TAPSE, PASP, and their ratio improved from baseline to 1 month and 6 months after TAVI. CONCLUSIONS A TAPSE/PASP ratio <0.36 mm/mmHg is strongly associated with an increased risk of mortality after TAVI. Providing a left ventricle unloading, TAVI is associated with improvement of both TAPSE, PASP, and their ratio.

Abstract
Background Degenerative aortic valve disease accounts for 10–20% of all cardiac surgical procedures. The impact of pre-existing comorbidities on the outcome of patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) needs further research. Methods The IMPACT registry is a non-interventional, prospective, open-label, multicenter, international registry with a follow-up of 5 years to assess the impact of pre-existing comorbidities of patients undergoing SAVR with the INSPIRIS RESILIA aortic valve on outcomes. IMPACT will be conducted across 25 sites in Austria, Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland and intends to enroll approximately 500 patients. Patients will be included if they are at least 18 years of age and are scheduled to undergo SAVR with the INSPIRIS RESILIA Aortic Valve with or without concomitant ascending aortic root replacement and/or coronary bypass surgery. The primary objective is to determine all-cause mortality at 1, 3, and 5 years post SAVR. Secondary objectives include cardiac-related and valve-related mortality and structural valve deterioration including hemodynamics and durability, valve performance and further clinical outcomes in the overall study population and in specific patient subgroups characterized by the presence of chronic kidney disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and/or chronic inflammation. Discussion IMPACT is a prospective, multicenter European registry, which will provide much-needed data on the impact of pre-existing comorbidities on patient outcomes and prosthetic valve performance, and in particular the performance of the INSPIRIS RESILIA, in a real-world setting. The findings of this study may help to support and expand appropriate patient selection for treatment with bioprostheses. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04053088.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PHT) are often excluded from surgical therapies for tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR) with the MitraClip™ technique is a novel treatment option for these patients. We aimed to assess the role of PHT in severe TR and its implications for TTVR.
Methods and results
A total of 243 patients underwent TTVR at two centres. One hundred twenty-one patients were grouped as iPHT+ [invasive systolic pulmonary artery pressures (PAPs) ≥50 mmHg]. Patients were similarly stratified according to echocardiographic PAPs (ePHT). The occurrence of the combined clinical endpoint (death, heart failure hospitalization, and reintervention) was investigated during a follow-up of 330 (interquartile range 175–402) days. iPHT+ patients were at higher preoperative risk (P < 0.01), had more severe symptoms (P = 0.01), higher N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels (P < 0.01), more impaired right ventricular (RV) function (P < 0.01), and afterload corrected RV function (P < 0.01). Procedural TTVR success was similar in iPHT+ and iPHT− patients (84 vs. 84%, P = 0.99). The echocardiographic diagnostic accuracy to detect iPHT was only 55%. During follow-up, 35% of patients reached the combined clinical endpoint. The discordant diagnosis of iPHT+/ePHT− carried the highest risk for the combined clinical endpoint [HR 3.76 (CI 2.25–6.37), P < 0.01], while iPHT+/ePHT+ patients had a similar survival-free time from the combined endpoint compared to iPHT− patients (P = 0.48). In patients with isolated tricuspid procedure (n = 131) a discordant iPHT+/ePHT− diagnosis and an impaired afterload corrected RV function (P < 0.01 for both) were independent predictors for the occurrence of the combined endpoint.
Conclusion
The discordant echocardiographic and invasive diagnosis of PHT in severe TR predicts outcomes after TTVR.

Abstract
Background Transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF‐TAVR) is recommended for patients suffering from aortic valve stenosis at increased operative risk. Beyond that, patients with different comorbidities could benefit from TF‐TAVR. The present study compares real‐world in‐hospital outcomes of surgical aortic valve replacement and TF‐TAVR. Methods and Results For all 33 789 isolated TF‐TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement procedures performed in Germany in 2014 and 2015, comorbidities and in‐hospital outcomes were identified by International Classification of Diseases (ICD)‐ and OPS (Operation and procedure key)‐codes. Patients undergoing TF‐TAVR were older and at increased estimated risk. Outcomes were risk‐adjusted to allow comparison. TF‐TAVR was associated with a lower risk for acute kidney injuries (odds ratio [OR] 0.62, P<0.001), for bleeding (OR 0.17, P<0.001), and for prolonged mechanical ventilation (>48 hours, OR 0.21, P<0.001). Risk for stroke was similar (OR 1.07, P=0.558). As expected, the risk for pacemaker implantations was higher after TF‐TAVR (OR 4.61, P<0.001). In all patients, none of the treatment strategies had a clear advantage on the risk for in‐hospital mortality (OR 0.83, P=0.068). However, in patients aged >80 years and at high operative risk undergoing TF‐TAVR in‐hospital mortality was lower (TF‐TAVR versus surgical aortic valve replacement 80–84, OR 0.55; P=0.002; ≥85 years, OR 0.42, P=0.006; EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) >9: OR 0.62, P=0.001). TF‐TAVR was superior in patients with renal failure and in NYHA (New York Heart Association)‐Class III/IV. Other risk groups were not found to be factors favoring a treatment strategy. Conclusions The present study indicates a superiority of TF‐TAVR in clinical practice for patients at increased operative risk, aged >80 years, in NYHA‐Class III/IV, and with renal failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the value of echocardiographic right ventricular (RV) and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) assessment in predicting transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge valve repair (TTVR) outcome. BACKGROUND RV dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension are associated with poor prognosis and are systematically sought during tricuspid regurgitation evaluation. The value of echocardiographic assessment in predicting TTVR outcome is unknown. METHODS Data were taken from the TriValve (Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Therapies) registry, which includes patients undergoing TTVR at 14 European and North American centers. The primary outcome was 1-year survival free from hospitalization for heart failure, and secondary outcomes were 1-year survival and absence of hospital admission for heart failure at 1 year. RESULTS Overall, 249 patients underwent TTVR between June 2015 and 2018 (mean tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion [TAPSE] 15.8 ± 15.3 mm, mean sPAP 43.6 ± 16.0 mm Hg). Tricuspid regurgitation grade ≥3+ was found in 96.8% of patients at baseline and 29.4% at final follow-up; 95.6% were in New York Heart Association functional class III or IV initially, compared with 34.3% at follow-up (p < 0.05). Final New York Heart Association functional class did not differ among TAPSE and sPAP quartiles, even when both low TAPSE and high sPAP were present. Rates of 1-year survival and survival free from hospitalization for heart failure were 83.9% and 78.7%, respectively, without significant differences according to baseline echocardiographic RV characteristics (TAPSE, fractional area change, and end-diastolic area) and sPAP (p > 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS TTVR provides clinical improvement, with 1-year survival free from hospital readmission >75% in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation. Conventional echocardiographic parameters used to assess RV function and sPAP did not predict clinical outcome after TTVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY We compared early and late outcomes of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and pulmonary hypertension (PHT). METHODS We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE databases until July 2018 for studies comparing patients with AS and none, mild-moderate, or severe PHT undergoing SAVR. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed. RESULTS There were 12 observational studies with 70 676 patients with median follow-up 4.0 years (interquartile range, 2.6-4 years). Compared to patients with no PHT, patients with any PHT undergoing SAVR were older (mean difference [MD], 2.31 years; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.38-3.23 years; P < .01), with greater comorbidities and reduced ejection fraction (MD, -4.36; 95%CI, -5.94 to -2.78; P < .01). Patients with any PHT had higher unadjusted (5.2% vs 2.4%; risk ratio [RR], 2.27; 95%CI, 2.04-2.53; P < .01) and adjusted (RR, 1.65; 95%CI, 1.28-2.14; P < .01) in-hospital mortality compared with no PHT. Severe (RR, 3.53; 95%CI, 1.46-8.54; P < .01) and mild-moderate PHT (RR, 2.13; 95%CI, 1.28-3.55; P < .01) were associated with higher unadjusted in-hospital mortality compared with no PHT. Any PHT was associated with a higher unadjusted risk of stroke (RR, 1.64; 95%CI, 1.42-1.90; P < .01), acute kidney injury (RR, 2.02; 95%CI, 1.50-2.72; P < .01), prolonged ventilation (RR, 1.62; 95%CI, 1.04-2.52; P = .03), and longer hospital stay (MD, 1.76 days; 95%CI, 0.57-2.95; P < .01). Severe (HR, 2.44; 95%CI, 1.60-3.72; P < .01) but not mild-moderate PHT (HR, 2.25; 95%CI, 0.91-5.59; P = .08) was associated with higher adjusted long-term mortality compared with no PHT. CONCLUSIONS Patients with severe AS and severe PHT had a significant increase in operative mortality and more than double the risk of long-term mortality following SAVR compared with patients with no PHT. Such patients may benefit from a less invasive transcatheter aortic valve intervention.

The Outcomes of Pulmonary Hypertension Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis Who Underwent Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Am J Cardiol 2019; 124:586-593. [PMID: 31204036 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2019.05.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2019] [Revised: 05/06/2019] [Accepted: 05/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
The outcomes for patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is not well understood. We sought to evaluate the outcomes of patients with PH who underwent TAVI compared with SAVR. We identified patients who were diagnosed with PH and underwent TAVI SAVR for aortic valve stenosis in the National Inpatient Sample database who were admitted from 2011 to 2014. Propensity score matching was used to generate 2 matched cohorts for TAVI and SAVR and outcomes were compared using logistic regressions. A total of 36,786 patients were diagnosed with PH and had an intervention for aortic valve stenosis. Twenty six percent underwent TAVI (n = 9,560) and 74% underwent SAVR (n = 27,225). Patients in the TAVI group were older (81.0 vs 68.5, p <0.001) had more women (53.2% vs 45.4%) and less African-American patients (4.6% vs 8.3%; p <0.001 for both). Although both groups had comparable co-morbidities, the TAVI group had higher prevalence of congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, renal failure, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, and previous stroke compared with the SAVR group (p ≤0.002). After propensity-score-matching, patients with PH had no statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality between for TAVI or SAVR procedures (5.6% vs 4.6%, odds ratio [OR] 1.23, confidence interval [CI] 0.92 to 1.66, p = 0.165). However, TAVI patients were less likely to have cardiac complications (15.4% vs 19.9%, OR 0.73, CI 0.61 to 0.87, p = 0.001) and respiratory complications (12.4% vs 25.1%, OR 0.42, CI 0.35 to 0.51, p <0.001). In conclusion, whereas patient with PH who underwent TAVI and SAVR had similar in-hospital mortality, TAVI was associated with lower cardiac, respiratory and bleeding complications compared with SAVR.

Association Between Pulmonary Hypertension and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Analysis of a Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database. Rev Recent Clin Trials 2019; 14:56-60. [PMID: 30457054 DOI: 10.2174/1574887113666181120113034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Revised: 11/12/2018] [Accepted: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was done to review the association of pulmonary hypertension (PH) with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedures done in the US for years 2010 to 2012. METHODS We used Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) data to extract data for patients who were hospitalized with a primary/secondary diagnosis of TAVR as specified by International Classification of Disease (ICD-9) codes 35.05 and 35.06. PH was identified with ICD-9 codes 416.0 and 416.8. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between PH and clinical outcomes of TAVR. RESULTS A total of 8,824 weighted discharges were identified with a primary/secondary diagnosis of TAVR, of which 1,976 (22.4%) also had PH. Mean age of patients undergoing TAVR with and without PH was 81.4 and 81.1 years, respectively. More females had a diagnosis of PH with TAVR when compared to males, (56.9% vs. 43.1). When controlling for demographics, diabetes and hypertension; the association between PH and TAVR was statistically significant (p<.0001). Estimated odds of TAVR with PH was 5.46 (95% CI: 4.63, 6.41) times greater than for TAVR without PH. Similarly, the estimated odds for a length of stay greater than 1 week for TAVR with PH was 1.43 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.82; p=.0034) times greater than odds for TAVR without PH. PH was not statistically significant for in-hospital mortality in patients receiving TAVR (p=0.7067). CONCLUSION This study suggests that underlying PH does not influence the immediate mortality of patients underlying TAVR. Further studies are needed to delve into the bearing of PH on TAVR.
