Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the workup for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), the clinical impact of coronary revascularization complexity remains largely unknown. This study sought to examine the impact of PCI complexity on clinical outcomes after TAVR in patients undergoing PCI in the preprocedural workup. METHODS This was a multicenter study including consecutive patients scheduled for TAVR with concomitant significant coronary artery disease. Complex PCI was defined as having at least 1 of the following features: 3 vessels treated, ≥ 3 stents implanted, ≥ 3 lesions treated, bifurcation with 2 stents implanted, total stent length > 60 mm, or chronic total occlusion. The rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularization were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 1550 patients were included, of which 454 (29.3%) underwent complex PCI in the pre-TAVR workup. After a median follow-up period of 2 [1-3] years after TAVR, the incidence of MACE was 9.6 events per 100 patients-years. Complex PCI significantly increased the risk of cardiovascular death (HR, 1.44; 95%CI, 1.01-2.07), nonperiprocedural myocardial infarction (HR, 1.52; 95%CI, 1.04-2.21), and coronary revascularization (HR, 2.46; 95%CI, 1.44-4.20). In addition, PCI complexity was identified as an independent predictor of MACE after TAVR (HR, 1.44; 95%CI, 1.09-1.83; P = .009). CONCLUSIONS In TAVR candidates with significant coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous treatment, complex revascularization was associated with a higher risk of MACE. The degree of procedural complexity should be considered a strong determinant of prognosis in the PCI-TAVR population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Muscle dysmorphia (MD) is a disorder affecting mainly men and is characterized by significant dissatisfaction with muscles. The idea that MD could represent an addiction has been theoretically discussed, but no empirical data are available. Based on Foster et al. (2015) framework, the Addiction to Body Image Inventory (ABII) was developed. This study aims to validate the ABII and to evaluate its capacity to capture MD severity. METHODS A first community sample of 466 participants was recruited and completed the ABII and questionnaires on MD and body esteem. A second sample of 47 men at risk of MD was recruited mostly in gyms and completed the ABII and questionnaires on MD, eating and psychological symptoms. RESULTS With the community sample, the results showed that the ABII had a valid factorial structure, good internal consistency, and good convergent validity. With the sample of men at risk of MD, the results showed that the ABII had good convergent validity with MD and eating symptoms but not with psychological symptoms. The results of a regression model showed that the ABII explained 12% of the MD variance. CONCLUSIONS This study brings the first measure of addiction to body image and suggests that MD must be understood as a complex phenomenon including eating symptoms and addictive tendencies.

Abstract
Background Scarce data exist on sex differences in patients with cryptogenic cerebrovascular events undergoing patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure. This study aimed to determine the sex differences in clinical profile, procedural characteristics, and long-term outcomes of patients with cryptogenic cerebrovascular events undergoing PFO closure. Methods and Results A retrospective cohort was used, including 1076 consecutive patients undergoing PFO closure because of a cryptogenic cerebrovascular event. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 469 (43.6%) women and 607 (56.4%) men. The median follow-up was 3 years (interquartile range, 2-8 years). Women were younger (46±13 versus 50±12 years; P<0.01) and had a higher risk of paradoxical embolism score (6.9±1.7 versus 6.6±1.6; P<0.01). Procedural characteristics and postprocedural antithrombotic therapy were similar. At follow-up, there were no differences in atrial fibrillation (women versus men: 0.47 versus 0.97 per 100 patient-years; incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.55 [95% CI, 0.27-1.11]; P=0.095; adjusted P=0.901), stroke (0.17 versus 0.07 per 100 patient-years; IRR, 2.58 [95% CI, 0.47-14.1]; P=0.274; adjusted P=0.201), or transient ischemic attack (0.43 versus 0.18 per 100 patient-years; IRR, 2.58 [95% CI, 0.88-7.54]; P=0.084; adjusted P=0.121); nevertheless, women exhibited a higher incidence of combined ischemic cerebrovascular events (0.61 versus 0.26 per 100 patient-years; IRR, 2.58 [95% CI, 1.04-6.39]; P=0.041; adjusted P=0.028) and bleeding events (1.04 versus 0.45 per 100 patient-years; IRR, 2.82 [95% CI, 1.41-5.65]; P=0.003; adjusted P=0.004). Conclusions Compared with men, women with cryptogenic cerebrovascular events undergoing PFO closure were younger and had a higher risk of paradoxical embolism score. After a median follow-up of 3 years, there were no differences in stroke events, but women exhibited a higher rate of combined (stroke and transient ischemic attack) cerebrovascular events and bleeding complications. Additional studies are warranted to clarify sex-related outcomes after PFO closure further.

Abstract
Background: Despite the lack of evidence to support the use of palliative oxygen to relieve dyspnea at the end of life, its prescription is widespread and often supported by local and national practice guidelines. Objectives: The objectives of this study were (1) to determine to what extent oxygen prescriptions meet the proposed prescription criteria in our institution, (2) to examine the indication of individual prescriptions in relation to the severity of dyspnea and (3) to review the utilization of opioids in patients receiving palliative oxygen. Methods: Retrospective chart review of cancer patients who were prescribed palliative oxygen between April 2015 and January 2020 through a respiratory home care program in Quebec City, Canada. According to provincial prescription guidelines, palliative oxygen was provided and reimbursed in case of severe hypoxemia (pulse oximetry saturation at rest < 88%) in cancer patients with an estimated prognosis of less than 3 months. Results: 134 patients receiving palliative oxygen were included; 25 (19%) did not fulfill reimbursement criteria. Median survival was 44 days. At initiation of palliative oxygen, 48 patients (36%) had only mild or moderate dyspnea (Medical Research Council dyspnea score 1-3), 26 (19%) did not receive opioids, and 9 (7%) were prescribed palliative oxygen without being dyspneic or receiving opioids. Conclusion: Most prescriptions of palliative oxygen met the proposed prescription criteria in our institution. Half of those who received palliative oxygen were only mildly dyspneic and/or were not receiving opioids at the time of the prescription.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The updated Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC) definition for bleeding events after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) lacks of clinical validation. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, predictors, and clinical impact of bleeding events following TAVR as defined by recent VARC-3 criteria. METHODS A total of 2,384 consecutive patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR were included. Early (at index hospitalization) and late (after hospital discharge) bleeding complications were defined according to VARC-3 criteria as type 1, 2, 3, or 4. Baseline, procedural, and follow-up (24 [IQR: 12-43] months) data were prospectively collected. RESULTS Bleeding events occurred in 761 patients (31.9%): types 1, 2, 3, and 4 in 169 (22.2%), 399 (52.4%), 149 (19.6%), and 44 (5.8%) patients, respectively. The primary vascular access site and gastrointestinal locations were the most common bleeding sources among early and late bleeding events, respectively. Female sex, thoracotomy access, larger (14-F) sheath use, and dual antiplatelet therapy determined an increased risk of early bleeding events (P < 0.02 for all). The use of the radial artery for secondary access was associated with a significant risk reduction of early bleeding (P < 0.001). Type 2 and type 3 events were associated with an increased mortality risk at 30-day (HR: 2.94 [95% CI: 1.43-6.03; P = 0.003] and HR: 4.91 [95% CI: 2.19-11.03; P < 0.001], respectively) and 1-year (HR: 1.86 [95% CI: 1.28-2.69; P = 0.001] and HR: 2.28 [95% CI: 1.41-3.66; P = 0.001], respectively) follow-up. A similar prognostic pattern was observed when applying VARC-2 criteria but with a much lower global incidence of early bleeding events (19% vs 27%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Bleeding events after TAVR were associated with poorer short- and long-term survival. The magnitude of this correlation was proportional to bleeding severity defined according to VARC-3 criteria. Further studies on bleeding prevention following TAVR are warranted to improve procedural safety and patient prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the work-up pre-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), the incidence and clinical impact of late bleeding events (LBEs) remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, associated factors, and outcomes of LBEs in patients undergoing PCI in the work-up pre-TAVR. METHODS This was a multicenter study including 1,457 consecutive patients (mean age 81 ± 7 years; 41.5% women) who underwent TAVR and survived beyond 30 days. LBEs (>30 days post-TAVR) were defined according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria. RESULTS LBEs occurred in 116 (7.9%) patients after a median follow-up of 23 (IQR: 12-40) months. Late bleeding was minor, major, and life-threatening or disabling in 21 (18.1%), 63 (54.3%), and 32 (27.6%) patients, respectively. Periprocedural (<30 days post-TAVR) major bleeding and the combination of antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy at discharge were independent factors associated with LBEs (P ≤ 0.02 for all). LBEs conveyed an increased mortality risk at 4-year follow-up compared with no bleeding (43.9% vs 36.0; P = 0.034). Also, LBE was identified as an independent predictor of all-cause mortality after TAVR (HR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.05-1.83; P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS In TAVR candidates with concomitant significant coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous treatment, LBEs after TAVR were frequent and associated with increased mortality. Combining antiplatelet and anticoagulation regimens and the occurrence of periprocedural bleeding determined an increased risk of LBEs. Preventive strategies should be pursued for preventing late bleeding after TAVR, and further studies are needed to provide more solid evidence on the most safe and effective antithrombotic regimen post-TAVR in this challenging group of patients.

Abstract
Background The long-term outcomes of patients undergoing functional assessment of coronary lesions with fractional flow reserve (FFR) while awaiting transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are unknown. Data on the safety of intracoronary adenosine use in this setting are scarce. The objectives of this study were to describe (1) the long-term outcomes based on the coronary artery disease (CAD) assessment strategy used and (2) the safety of intracoronary adenosine in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Methods 1023 patients with severe AS awaiting TAVI were included. Patients were classified according to their CAD assessment strategy: angiography guided or FFR guided. Patients were further subdivided according to the decision to proceed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): angiography-guided PCI (375/1023), angiography-guided no-PCI (549/1023), FFR-guided PCI (50/1023), and FFR-guided no-PCI (49/1023). Patients were followed up for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Results At a mean follow-up of 33.7 months, we observed no significant differences in terms of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in the angiography-guided group (42.4%) compared with the FFR-guided group (37.4%) (p = 0.333). When comparing outcomes of the FFR-guided no-PCI group (32.7%) with the angiography-guided PCI group (46.4%), no significant difference was noted (p = 0.999). Following intracoronary adenosine, a single adverse event occurred. Conclusions In this population, intracoronary adenosine is safe and well tolerated. We found no significant benefit to an FFR-guided strategy compared with an angiography-guided strategy with respect to MACCEs. Although clinically compelling, avoiding the procedural risks of PCI by deferring the intervention in functionally insignificant lesions failed to show a statistically significant benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) in prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) including IE after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with absent compared with evident echocardiographic signs of TAVI-IE. METHODS Patients with definite TAVI-IE derived from the Infectious Endocarditis after TAVI International Registry were investigated comparing those with absent and evident echocardiographic signs of IE defined as vegetation, abscess, pseudo-aneurysm, intracardiac fistula, or valvular perforation or aneurysm. RESULTS Among 578 patients, 87 (15.1%) and 491 (84.9%) had absent (IE-neg) and evident (IE-pos) echocardiographic signs of IE, respectively. IE-neg were more often treated via a transfemoral access with a self-expanding device and had higher rates of peri-interventional complications (eg, stroke, major vascular complications) during the TAVI procedure (P < .05 for all). IE-neg had higher rates of IE caused by Staphylococcus aureus (33.7% vs 23.2%; P = .038) and enterococci (37.2% vs 23.8%; P = .009) but lower rates of coagulase-negative staphylococci (4.7% vs 20.0%, P = .001). IE-neg was associated with the same dismal prognosis for in-hospital mortality in a multivariate binary regression analysis (odds ratio: 1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI]: .55-4.12) as well as a for 1-year mortality in Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio: 1.10; 95% CI: .67-1.80). CONCLUSIONS Even with negative echocardiographic imaging, patients who have undergone TAVI and presenting with positive blood cultures and symptoms of infection are a high-risk patient group having a reasonable suspicion of IE and the need for an early treatment initiation.

Abstract
Limited data exist on patients with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) who underwent patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure. The objectives of this study were to determine the clinical and procedural characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients with TIA who underwent transcatheter PFO closure. This was a multicenter study including 1,012 consecutive patients who underwent PFO closure after a cerebrovascular event. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their index event leading to PFO closure: TIA (n = 183 [18%]), and stroke (n = 829 [82%]). The median follow-up was 3 (2 to 8) years (complete in 98% of patients). There were no significant differences between patients with TIA and stroke, except for a lower Risk of Paradoxical Embolism score in the TIA group (6.1 vs 6.9 in the stroke group, p <0.001). PFO closure was successful in all patients with a low rate of complications (<1%) in both groups. There were no differences in the incidence of neurologic events during long-term follow-up. There was 1 stroke event in the TIA group and 6 in the stroke group (0.08 vs 0.17 per 100 patients-years, p = 0.584). There were 2 TIA events in the TIA group and 10 in the stroke group (0.17 vs 0.28 per 100 patients-years, p = 0.557). In conclusion, our study showed that patients with TIA who underwent PFO closure have similar clinical characteristics as patients with stroke including a high Risk of Paradoxical Embolism score. Furthermore, these results suggest that PFO closure procedural results and long-term clinical outcomes are similar to their stroke counterparts, with a very low incidence of recurrent neurologic events. Further prospective randomized clinical trials are needed on this population.

Abstract
Gambling's impact on a couple's relationship is an essential element in the gambling disorder (GD). Gamblers tend to lie to their partner to conceal the extent of their gambling problems and debts, which can lead to a serious relational transgression for the couple. One promising avenue is a couple treatment focusing on forgiveness processes. The objective of this study was to determine whether the Integrative Couple Treatment for Pathological Gamblers (ICT-PG) with an emphasis on forgiveness processes helped couples to enhance these processes. A Single-Case Research Design (SCRD) was used with three couples in which one of the members had a GD. The results highlight the importance of jointly analyzing the forgiveness processes between the gamblers and their partner, which constantly influenced each other. These promising results illustrate the relevance of integrating forgiveness processes in treatment for couples where one of the members has a GD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment of patients developing infective endocarditis (IE) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is uncertain. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with TAVI-IE treated with cardiac surgery and antibiotics (IE-CS) compared with patients treated with antibiotics alone (IE-AB). METHODS Crude and inverse probability of treatment weighting analyses were applied for the treatment effect of cardiac surgery vs medical therapy on 1-year all-cause mortality in patients with definite TAVI-IE. The study used data from the Infectious Endocarditis after TAVI International Registry. RESULTS Among 584 patients, 111 patients (19%) were treated with IE-CS and 473 patients (81%) with IE-AB. Compared with IE-AB, IE-CS was not associated with a lower in-hospital mortality (HRunadj: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.58-1.25) and 1-year all-cause mortality (HRunadj: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.64-1.22) in the crude cohort. After adjusting for selection and immortal time bias, IE-CS compared with IE-AB was also not associated with lower mortality rates for in-hospital mortality (HRadj: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.80-1.05) and 1-year all-cause mortality (HRadj: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.84-1.07). Results remained similar when patients with and without TAVI prosthesis involvement were analyzed separately. Predictors for in-hospital and 1-year all-cause mortality included logistic EuroSCORE I, Staphylococcus aureus, acute renal failure, persistent bacteremia, and septic shock. CONCLUSIONS In this registry, the majority of patients with TAVI-IE were treated with antibiotics alone. Cardiac surgery was not associated with an improved all-cause in-hospital or 1-year mortality. The high mortality of patients with TAVI-IE was strongly linked to patients' characteristics, pathogen, and IE-related complications.

Abstract
AIMS The objective was to compare the incidence and impact on outcomes of measured (PPMM) vs. predicted (PPMP) prosthesis-patient mismatch following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS AND RESULTS All consecutives patients who underwent TAVR between 2007 and 2018 were included. Effective orifice area (EOA) was measured by Doppler-echocardiography using the continuity equation and predicted according to the normal reference for each model and size of valve. PPM was defined using EOA indexed (EOAi) to body surface area as moderate if ≤0.85 cm2/m2 and severe if ≤ 0.65 cm2/m2 (respectively, ≤ 0.70 and ≤ 0.55 cm2/m2 if body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2). The outcome endpoints were high residual gradient (≥20 mmHg) and the composite of cardiovascular mortality and hospital readmission for heart failure at 1 year. Overall, 1088 patients underwent a TAVR (55% male, age 79.1 ± 8.4 years, and STS score 6.6 ± 4.7%); balloon-expandable device was used in 83%. Incidence of moderate (10% vs. 27%) and severe (1% vs. 17%) PPM was markedly lower when defined by predicted vs. measured EOAi (P < 0.001). Balloon-expandable device implantation (OR: 1.90, P = 0.029) and valve-in-valve procedure (n = 118; OR: 3.21, P < 0.001) were the main factors associated with PPM occurrence. Compared with measured PPM, predicted PPM showed stronger association with high residual gradient. Severe measured or predicted PPM was not associated with clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION The utilization of the predicted EOAi reclassifies the majority of patients with PPM to no PPM following TAVR. Compared with measured PPM, predicted PPM had stronger association with haemodynamic outcomes, while both methods were not associated with clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Importance Adding clopidogrel to aspirin for 3 months after transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure results in a lower incidence of new-onset migraine attacks. However, the outcomes at 6- to 12-month follow-up (after clopidogrel cessation at 3 months) remain largely unknown. Objective To assess the incidence of migraine attacks at 6- and 12-month follow-up after transcatheter ASD closure. Design, Setting, and Participants This prespecified analysis of a randomized, double-blind clinical trial included patients with no prior history of migraine undergoing ASD closure from 6 university hospitals in Canada from December 2008 to November 2014. Patients were followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months, and a migraine headache questionnaire was administered at each time. Analysis began June 2019. Interventions Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel; n = 84) vs single antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus placebo; n = 87) for 3 months following transcatheter ASD closure. After 3 months, only single antiplatelet therapy (aspirin) was pursued. Main Outcomes and Measures Incidence and severity of migraine attacks at 6- and 12-month follow-up. Results The mean (SD) age of the study population was 38 (12) years, with 106 women (62%). A total of 27 patients (15.8%) had new-onset migraine attacks within the 3 months following ASD closure (8 of 84 [9.5%] vs 19 of 87 [21.8%] in the initial clopidogrel and placebo groups, respectively; P = .03). After cessation of clopidogrel and aspirin monotherapy, the percentage of patients with migraine attacks decreased over time, with 8 (4.7%) and 4 patients (2.3%) continuing to have migraine attacks at 6 and 12 months, respectively (vs 3 months: P < .001). The severity of migraine attacks progressively decreased over time; no moderate or severe attacks occurred at 6 and 12 months (vs 3 months: P < .001). There were no differences between groups in the rate of migraine attacks at 6 months (initial clopidogrel group: 2 of 84 [2.4%]; initial placebo group: 6 of 87 [6.9%]; P = .28) and 12 months (initial clopidogrel group: 3 of 84 [3.6%]; initial placebo group: 1 of 87 [1.1%]; P = .36) after ASD closure. Only 2 patients (1.2%; 1 patient per group) presented with new-onset migraine attacks after 3 months. Conclusions and Relevance New-onset migraine attacks after ASD closure improved or resolved spontaneously within 6 to 12 months in most patients. No significant rebound effect was observed after clopidogrel cessation at 3 months. These results demonstrate a low rate of migraine events beyond 3 months following transcatheter ASD closure and support the early discontinuation of clopidogrel therapy if administered. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00799045.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with high-gradient (HG) severe aortic stenosis (AS) and reduced left-ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) are unknown. METHODS Patients undergoing TAVR for native severe AS between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively included and classified into 3 groups: HG (≥ 40 mm Hg) and preserved EF (≥ 50%), HG low EF (< 50%), and low gradient (LG < 40 mm Hg) low EF. The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular mortality and readmission for heart failure at 1 year after TAVR. RESULTS Of the 526 patients included, 323 (61%) had HG preserved EF, 69 (13%) had HG low EF, and 134 (26%) had LG low EF. HG low EF group had higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation and heart failure and higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons score compared with the HG preserved EF group. Patients in the LG low EF group were older and had higher prevalence of coronary artery disease compared with those in the HG groups. All-cause mortality at 30 days (4.0%) was similar across the 3 groups. After adjustment, the risk of primary endpoint was similar in the HG low-EF vs preserved EF groups. Conversely, the risk of primary endpoint was higher in the LG low EF group vs the HG preserved EF group (hazard ratio [HR], 2.24; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.36-3.70; P = 0.002) and vs HG low EF group (HR, 3.50; 95% CI, 1.55-7.90; P = 0.003), whereas the risk of all-cause mortality was similar across the 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS The outcome of patients with HG low EF severe AS following TAVR is as good as that of patients with HG preserved EF.

Abstract
Background:
The impact of antithrombotic therapy on coagulation system activation after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) remains unknown. This study sought to compare changes in coagulation markers associated with short-term oral anticoagulation (OAC) versus antiplatelet therapy (APT) following LAAC.
Methods:
Prospective study including 78 atrial fibrillation patients undergoing LAAC with the Watchman device. F1+2 (prothrombin fragment 1+2) and TAT (thrombin-antithrombin III) were assessed immediately before the procedure, and at 7, 30, and 180 days after LAAC.
Results:
Forty-eight patients were discharged on APT (dual: 31, single: 17) and 30 on OAC (direct anticoagulants: 26, vitamin K antagonists: 4), with no differences in baseline-procedural characteristics between groups except for higher spontaneous echocardiography contrast in the OAC group. OAC significantly reduced coagulation activation within 7 days post-LAAC compared with APT (23% [95% CI, 5%–41%] versus 82% [95% CI, 54%–111%] increase for F1+2,
P
=0.007; 52% [95% CI, 15%–89%] versus 183% [95% CI, 118%–248%] increase for TAT,
P
=0.048), with all patients in both groups progressively returning to baseline values at 30 and 180 days. Spontaneous echocardiography contrast pre-LAAC was associated with an enhanced activation of the coagulation system post-LAAC (144 [48–192] versus 52 [24–111] nmol/L,
P
=0.062 for F1+2; 299 [254–390] versus 78 [19–240] ng/mL,
P
=0.002 for TAT). Device-related thrombosis occurred in 5 patients (6.4%), and all of them were receiving APT at the time of transesophageal echocardiography (10.2% versus 0% if OAC at the time of transesophageal echocardiography,
P
=0.151). Patients with device thrombosis exhibited a greater coagulation activation 7 days post-LAAC (
P
=0.038 and
P
=0.108 for F1+2 and TAT, respectively).
Conclusions:
OAC (versus APT) was associated with a significant attenuation of coagulation system activation post-LAAC. Spontaneous echocardiography contrast pre-LAAC associated with enhanced coagulation activation post-LAAC, which in turn increased the risk of device thrombosis. These results highlight the urgent need for randomized trials comparing OAC versus APT post-LAAC.

Abstract
Although correlated electronic-structure calculations explain very well the normal state of Sr_{2}RuO_{4}, its superconducting symmetry is still unknown. Here we construct the spin and charge fluctuation pairing interactions based on its correlated normal state. Correlations significantly reduce ferromagnetic in favor of antiferromagnetic fluctuations and increase interorbital pairing. From the normal-state Eliashberg equations, we find spin-singlet d-wave pairing close to magnetic instabilities. Away from these instabilities, where charge fluctuations increase, we find two time-reversal symmetry-breaking spin triplets: an odd-frequency s wave, and a doubly degenerate interorbital pairing between d_{xy} and (d_{yz},d_{xz}).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of intermediate "non-obstructive" saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions is a strong predictor of cardiac events. We wanted to assess the efficacy of sealing these SVG lesions with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for reducing major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rate. METHODS The present analysis is based on the pooled data from the VELETI and VELETI II randomized trials. Patients with at least 1 intermediate SVG lesion (30%-60% diameter stenosis) were randomized to DES implantation (SVG-DES) or medical treatment (SVG-MT). The primary outcome was the first occurrence of MACE, defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or coronary revascularization related to the target SVG. RESULTS A total of 182 patients were included (mean age, 70 ± 9 years), with 90 and 92 patients allocated to the SVG-DES and SVG-MT groups, respectively. After a mean follow-up of 4 ± 1 years, patients in the SVG-MT group exhibited a higher rate of MACE related to the target SVG (23.9% vs 17.8% in the SVG-DES group; P=.04) and MACE related to the target SVG lesion (21.7% vs 12.2% in the SVG-DES group; P<.01). In the multivariable analysis, a higher total cholesterol value at baseline (P=.04) was the only independent predictor of SVG disease progression leading to clinical events. CONCLUSIONS In patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting and intermediate non-obstructive SVG lesions, plaque sealing with DES reduced the incidence of MACE related to SVG disease progression. A higher cholesterol level was the main predictor of SVG disease progression leading to clinical events in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Randomized trials have shown the efficacy of transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients aged ≤ 60 years with cryptogenic embolism. We aimed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of PFO closure in patients aged> 60 years. METHODS Of 475 consecutive patients with cryptogenic embolism who underwent PFO closure, 90 older patients aged> 60 years (mean, 66±5 years) were compared with 385 younger patients aged ≤ 60 years (mean, 44±10 years). RESULTS Older patients had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes; P <.01 for all vs younger patients). There were no differences in periprocedural complications between the 2 groups. During a median follow-up of 8 (4-12) years, there were a total of 17 deaths, all from noncardiovascular causes (7.8% and 2.6% in the older and younger patient groups, respectively; HR, 4.12; 95%CI, 1.56-10.89). Four patients had a recurrent stroke (2.2% and 0.5% in the older and younger patient groups, respectively; HR, 5.08; 95%CI, 0.71-36.2), and 12 patients had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) (3.3% and 2.3% in the older and younger patient groups, respectively; HR, 1.71; 95%CI, 0.46-6.39). There was a trend toward a higher rate of the composite of stroke/TIA in older patients (5.5% vs 2.6%; HR, 2.62; 95%CI, 0.89-7.75; P=.081), which did not persist after adjustment for CVRF (HR, 1.97; 95%CI, 0.59-6.56; P=.269). CONCLUSIONS In older patients with cryptogenic embolism, PFO closure was safe and associated with a low rate of ischemic events at long-term. However, older patients exhibited a tendency toward a higher incidence of recurrent stroke/TIA compared with younger patients, likely related to a higher burden of CVRF.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has evolved globally, yet its evolution and performance across the Canadian landscape have yet to be formally assessed. Patients captured within the early Canadian TAVI experience with a balloon-expanding valve (n = 339; 2005 to 2009) and those enrolled in the Canadian SOURCE XT registry (n = 415; 2012 to 2015) were systematically compared with respect to baseline clinical, echocardiographic, and procedural characteristics. Valve-related and clinical outcomes were compared across the 2 time periods according to standardized definitions. Notable baseline between-group differences were noted across time, with Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality score being lower in the SOURCE XT cohort compared with the earlier Canadian cohort (7.4 ± 6.6% vs 9.8 ± 6.4%, p <0.001). The SOURCE XT cohort underwent TAVI through the transfemoral approach more frequently than their earlier Canadian counterparts (75% vs 48%), at the expense of transapical access, with major access site vascular complications (2.7% vs 13%), and ≥mild residual aortic regurgitation (39% vs 69%) being significantly less frequent (p <0.001 for all). At 30-days, there were no significant differences in rates of stroke (1.9% vs 2.4%) or new pacemakers (5.8% vs 5.0%); however, 30-day and 1-year mortality rates were significantly lower in the SOURCE XT cohort (3.6% vs 10.4%; 13.0% vs 24.2%, respectively, p<0.001 for both). In conclusion, TAVIs evolution in Canada with a balloon-expanding valve coincided with more optimized patient selection and increasing use of transfemoral access, which along with increasing operator experience, contributed to improved procedural and longer term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
To compare dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) versus single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) as antithrombotic treatment after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the prevention of ischemic events, vascular and bleeding events, and death. Data from the 3 randomized trials comparing DAPT versus SAPT post-TAVI were pooled and analyzed in a patient-level meta-analysis. The primary end point was the occurrence of death, major or life-threatening bleedings, and major vascular complications at 30-day follow-up. Events were adjudicated according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium 2 definitions. A total of 421 patients randomized to DAPT (210 patients) or SAPT (211 patients) post-TAVI were analyzed. There were no differences between groups in baseline clinical and procedural characteristics. The occurrence of the 30-day combined primary end point was higher in the DAPT group (17.6% vs 10.9%, odds ratio 1.73, 95% confidence interval 1.00 to 2.98, p = 0.050), with an increased rate of major or life-threatening bleeding events in the DAPT group (11.4% vs 5.2%, odds ratio 2.24, 95% confidence interval 1.12 to 4.46, p = 0.022). There were no differences between DAPT and SAPT groups in the incidence of death (5.2% vs 3.8%, p = 0.477), global ischemic events (3.8% vs 3.8%, p = 0.999), or stroke (2.4% vs 2.4%, p = 0.996). DAPT (vs SAPT) was associated with a higher rate of major adverse events after TAVI, mainly driven by an increased risk of major or life-threatening bleeding complications along with a lack of beneficial effect on ischemic events. These results do not support the current recommendation of DAPT as antithrombotic therapy after TAVI.

Abstract
Background and objectives Transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve implantation (ViV) has emerged as a valuable technique to treat failed surgical bioprostheses (BPs) in patients with high risk for redo surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Small BP size (≤21 mm), stenotic pattern of degeneration and pre-existing prosthesis–patient mismatch (PPM) have been associated with worse clinical outcomes after ViV. However, no study has evaluated the actual haemodynamic benefit associated with ViV. This study aims to compare haemodynamic status observed at post-ViV, pre-ViV and early after initial SAVR and to determine the factors associated with worse haemodynamic outcomes following ViV, including the rates of high residual gradient and ‘haemodynamic futility’. Methods Early post-SAVR, pre-ViV and post-ViV echocardiographic data of 79 consecutive patients who underwent aortic ViV at our institution were retrospectively analysed. The primary study endpoint was suboptimal valve haemodynamics (SVH) following ViV defined by the Valve Academic Research Consortium 2 as the presence of high residual aortic mean gradient (≥20 mm Hg) and/or at least moderate aortic regurgitation (AR). Haemodynamic futility of ViV was defined as <10 mm Hg decrease in mean aortic gradient and no improvement in AR compared with pre-ViV. Results SVH was found in 61% of patients (57% high residual gradient, 4% moderate AR) after ViV versus 24% early after SAVR. Pre-existing PPM and BP mode of failure by stenosis were independently associated with the primary endpoint (OR: 2.87; 95% CI 1.08 to 7.65; p=0.035 and OR: 3.02; 95% CI 1.08 to 8.42; p=0.035, respectively) and with the presence of high residual gradient (OR: 4.38; 95% CI 1.55 to 12.37; p=0.005 and OR: 5.37; 95% CI 1.77 to 16.30; p=0.003, respectively) following ViV. Criteria of ViV haemodynamic futility were met in 7.6% overall and more frequently in patients with pre-existing PPM and stenotic BP (18.5%) compared with other patients (2.0%). ViV restored haemodynamic function to early post-SAVR level in only 34% of patients. Conclusion Although ViV was associated with significant haemodynamic improvement compared with pre-ViV in >90% of patients, more than half harboured SVH outcome. Furthermore, only one-third of patients had a restoration of valve haemodynamic function to the early post-SAVR level. Pre-existing PPM and stenosis pattern of BP degeneration were the main factors associated with SVH and haemodynamic futility following ViV. These findings provide strong support for the prevention of PPM at the time of initial SAVR and careful preprocedural patient screening.

Abstract
Respiratory complications are a major factor contributing to postoperative morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our objective was to compare the rate of respiratory complications in patients with COPD with severe aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Low-to-intermediate surgical-risk patients with moderate or severe COPD who underwent TAVI or SAVR at 2 tertiary centers were included in this study. COPD was defined by the Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease classification. The primary end point was the 30-day composite of respiratory mortality, prolonged ventilation (>24 hours), the need for reintubation for respiratory causes, tracheostomy, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, or pneumothorax. The inverse probability of treatment weighting was determined to reduce baseline imbalance between the 2 groups. A total of 321 patients (mean age 72.4 ± 9.3 years old, 74.5% male, mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality 3.8 ± 1.9%, mean forced expiratory volume 1: 59 ± 13%) were included in the analysis. TAVI was performed in 122 patients, whereas 199 underwent SAVR. There were no differences between the 2 groups regarding the composite respiratory primary end point (SAVR 10.6%, TAVR 7.4%, adjusted odds ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.20 to 1.65, p = 0.30). Transfemoral TAVI without general anesthesia (28 patients) was associated with the lowest rate of respiratory complications (3.6%). Among patients with moderate or severe COPD at low-to-intermediate surgical risk, TAVI patients had a similar rate of 30-day major pulmonary complications compared with SAVR patients despite a higher baseline risk profile. Future studies should further investigate whether TAVI is associated with reduced respiratory complications, comparing transfemoral TAVI recipients treated with local anesthesia with their SAVR counterparts.

Abstract
The recommendations for antithrombotic treatment after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) remain empirical, and no data exist on the changes in hemostatic markers associated with LACC. The objective of the present study is to determine the presence, degree, and timing of changes in the markers of platelet and coagulation activation after LAAC. Forty-three patients (mean age 76 ± 9 years, 23 men) with atrial fibrillation who underwent successful LACC with the Watchman (n = 27) or Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (n = 16) devices were included in the study. Patients received antiplatelet therapy after LAAC (aspirin + clopidogrel: 27 patients; single antiplatelet therapy with aspirin or clopidogrel: 16 patients). Prothrombin fragment 1+2 and thrombin-antithrombin III were used as markers of coagulation activation, and soluble P-selectin and soluble CD40 ligand were used as markers of platelet activation. Measurements of all hemostatic markers were performed at baseline just before the procedure, followed by days 7, 30, and 180 after LAAC. Prothrombin fragment 1+2 and thrombin-antithrombin levels increased from 0.27 nmol/L and 4.68 ng/ml, respectively, at baseline to peak values of 0.43 nmol/L and 9.76 ng/ml, respectively, at 7 days, partially returning to baseline levels at days 30 and 180 after LAAC (p <0.001 for both markers). No clinical or procedural factors were associated with a greater increase in the markers of coagulation activation after LAAC. Levels of soluble P-selectin and soluble CD40 ligand did not change at any time after LAAC. In conclusion, transcatheter LAAC is associated with significant activation of the coagulation system, yet without evidence of significant platelet activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, there are no objective data specifically examining the clinical impact of variations in exercise capacity post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe the changes in exercise capacity between baseline and 6 months post-TAVR, and ascertain factors associated with and clinical implications of a lack of improvement in exercise capacity post-TAVR. METHODS A total of 305 patients (mean age, 79±9 years; 44% men; Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk mortality score, 6.7±4.2%) undergoing TAVR completed both baseline and follow-up exercise capacity assessments at 6 months post-TAVR. Exercise capacity was evaluated by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Clinical outcomes were compared between patients displaying greater than (n=152; improving group) versus less than (n=153; nonimproving group) the median percentage change in distance walked between baseline and 6-month follow-up examinations. The primary outcome measure was clinical event rates, measured from the 6-month post-TAVR period onward. Further dichotomization according to baseline 6MWT distance (less than versus more than median walking distance, or slow walker versus fast walker) was also assessed. RESULTS The mean overall distances walked pre- and post-TAVR (6 months post-TAVR) were 204±119 and 263±116 m, respectively (Δ6MWT=60±106 m), with 219 (72%) patients demonstrating an increase in their walking distance (median percentage increase of the entire population was 20% [interquartile range, 0%-80%]). Factors independently correlated with reduced exercise capacity improvement included a range of baseline clinical characteristics (older age, female sex, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; P<0.05 for all), periprocedural major or life-threatening bleeding (P=0.009) and new-onset anemia at 6 months post-TAVR (P=0.009). Failure to improve the 6MWT distance by at least 20% was independently associated with all-cause mortality (P=0.002) and cardiovascular death or rehospitalization for cardiovascular causes (P=0.001). Baseline slow walkers who were able to improve the 6MWT distance presented with significantly better outcomes than nonimprovers (P=0.01 for all-cause mortality; P=0.001 for cardiovascular end point). CONCLUSIONS Approximately one-third of patients undergoing TAVR did not improve their exercise capacity postprocedure. The lack of functional improvement post-TAVR was predicted by a mix of baseline and periprocedural factors translating into poorer clinical outcomes. These results suggest that systematically implementing exercise capacity assessment pre- and post-TAVR may help to improve patient risk stratification.

Abstract
There is growing interest in the study of white matter (WM) variation across subjects, and in particular the analysis of specific WM bundles, to better understand brain development and aging, as well as to improve early detection of some diseases. Several WM multi-subject clustering methods have been proposed to study WM bundles. These methods aim to overcome the complexity of the problem, which includes the huge size of the WM tractography datasets generated from multiple subjects, the existence of various streamlines with different positions, lengths and geometric forms, as well as the presence of outliers. However, the current methods are not sufficiently flexible to address all of these constraints. Here we introduce a novel dynamic multi-subject clustering framework based on a distributed multiagent implementation of the Multiple Species Flocking model, that we name 3D-Streamlines Stream Flocking (3D-SSF). Specifically, we consider streamlines from different subjects as data streams, and each streamline is assigned to a mobile agent. Agents work together following flocking rules in order to form a flock. Thanks to a similarity function, the agents that are associated with similar streamlines form a flock, whereas the agents that are associated with dissimilar streamlines are considered outliers. We use various experiments performed on noisy synthetic and real human brain data to validate 3D-SSF and demonstrate that it is more efficient and robust to outliers compared to other classical approaches. 3D-SSF is able to extract WM bundles at a population level, while considering WM variation across subjects and eliminating outlier streamlines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data regarding the mid- to long-term cognitive trajectory of transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR) recipients are scarce. OBJECTIVES Changes in global cognition and specific cognitive domains up to 1 year post-TAVR were evaluated. METHODS Fifty-one patients (median age 80.0 [interquartile range: 72.0 to 85.0] years; 37% women) underwent TAVR and prospective assessment of cognitive function using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at baseline, short-term (30 days), and 1 year post-TAVR. Processing speed and executive cognitive functions were further evaluated with the digit-symbol substitution test (DSST), Trail Making Tests (TMT), and verbal fluency tests at the same time points. Cognitive decline (CD) was determined by changes in mean scores and as a rate using practice-corrected reliable change index (RCI). RESULTS The baseline mean total MoCA score was 22.71 ± 3.84. Twenty patients (39.2%) were considered cognitively impaired using a cutoff of <23 of 30 points. Mean total MoCA score improved at short-term post-TAVR and remained stable at 1 year (p = 0.022). On the basis of the RCI of total MoCA score, 4 patients (7.8%) presented with short-term CD, which persisted at 1 year in 1 patient (2.0%). Four patients (7.8%) exhibited cognitive improvement at 1 year, increasing to 15% among those with baseline cognitive impairment. No significant changes were observed over time in the mean DSST, TMT, and verbal fluency test scores. On the basis of the RCI, 10 of 40 patients (25%) presented with a reduction in performance of at least 1 test at 30 days that persisted at 1 year in 4 patients (10%). CONCLUSIONS TAVR was associated with global improvement in cognitive status, more pronounced among those with cognitive impairment pre-TAVR. However, early decline in some complex cognitive functions was observed in one-quarter of TAVR recipients, persisting at 1 year in 10% of patients.

Abstract
AIM Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ activation is associated with preferential lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-mediated fatty acid storage in peripheral subcutaneous fat depots. How PPARγ agonism acts upon the multi-level modulation of depot-specific lipid storage remains incompletely understood. METHODS We evaluated herein triglyceride-derived lipid incorporation into adipose tissue depots, LPL mass and activity, mRNA levels and content of proteins involved in the modulation of LPL activity and fatty acid transport, and the expression/activity of enzymes defining adipose tissue lipogenic potential in rats treated with the PPARγ ligand rosiglitazone (30 mg kg(-1) day(-1) , 23 days) after either a 10-h fasting period or a 17-h fast followed by 6 h of ad libitum refeeding. RESULTS Rosiglitazone stimulated lipid accretion in subcutaneous fat (SF) ~twofold and significantly reduced that of visceral fat (VF) to nearly half. PPARγ activation selectively increased LPL mass, activity and the expression of its chaperone LMF1 in SF. In VF, rosiglitazone had no effect on LPL activity and downregulated the mRNA levels of the transendothelial transporter GPIHBP1. Overexpression of lipid uptake and fatty acid transport proteins (FAT/CD36, FATP1 and FABP4) and stimulation of lipogenic enzyme activities (GPAT, AGPAT and DGAT) upon rosiglitazone treatment were of higher magnitude in SF. CONCLUSIONS Together these findings demonstrate that the depot-specific transcriptional control of LPL induced by PPARγ activation extends to its key interacting proteins and post-translational modulators to favour subcutaneous lipid storage.

Abstract
Body composition (fat mass [FM] and skeletal muscle mass [SMM]) predicts clinical outcomes. In particular, loss of SMM (sarcopenia) is associated with frailty and mortality. There are no data on the prevalence and impact of FM and SMM in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The objective of this study is to determine body composition from pre-TAVI computed tomography (CT) and evaluate its association with clinical outcomes in patients who underwent TAVI. A total of 460 patients (mean age 81 ± 8 years, men: 51%) were included. Pre-TAVI CTs of the aorto-ilio-femoral axis were analyzed for FM and SMM cross-sectional area at the level of the third lumbar vertebrae (L3). Regression equations correlating cross-sectional area at L3 to total body FM and SMM were used to determine prevalence of sarcopenia, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity in patients (64%, 65%, and 46%, respectively). Most TAVI procedures were performed through a transfemoral approach (59%) using a balloon-expandable valve (94%). The 30-day and mid-term (median 12 months [interquartile range 6 to 27]) mortality rates were 6.1% and 29.6%, respectively. FM had no association with clinical outcomes, but sarcopenia predicted cumulative mortality (hazard ratio 1.55, 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 2.36, p = 0.04). In conclusion, body composition analysis from pre-TAVI CT is feasible. Sarcopenia, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity are prevalent in the TAVI population, with sarcopenia predictive of cumulative mortality.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The occurrence of new-onset migraine attacks is a complication of transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. It has been suggested that clopidogrel may reduce migraine attacks after ASD closure. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of clopidogrel, used in addition to taking aspirin, for the prevention of migraine attacks following ASD closure. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Randomized, double-blind clinical trial performed in 6 university hospitals in Canada. Participants were 171 patients with an indication for ASD closure and no history of migraine. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin + clopidogrel [the clopidogrel group], n = 84) vs single antiplatelet therapy (aspirin + placebo [the placebo group], n = 87) for 3 months following transcatheter ASD closure. The first patient was enrolled in December 2008, and the last follow-up was completed in February 2015. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary efficacy outcome was the monthly number of migraine days within the 3 months following ASD closure in the entire study population. The incidence and severity of new-onset migraine attacks, as evaluated by the Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaire, were prespecified secondary end points. A zero-inflated Poisson regression model was used for data analysis. RESULTS The mean (SD) age of the participants was 49 (15) years and 62% (106) were women. Patients in the clopidogrel group had a reduced mean (SD) number of monthly migraine days within the 3 months following the procedure (0.4 [95% CI, 0.07 to 0.69] days) vs the placebo group (1.4 [95% CI, 0.54 to 2.26] days; difference, -1.02 days [95% CI, -1.94 to -0.10 days]; incident risk ratio [IRR], 0.61 [95% CI, 0.41 to 0.91]; P = .04) and a lower incidence of migraine attacks following ASD closure (9.5% for the clopidogrel group vs 21.8% for the placebo group; difference, -12.3% [95% CI, -23% to -1.6%]; odds ratio [OR], 0.38 [95% CI, 0.15 to 0.89]; P = .03). Among patients with migraines, those in the clopidogrel group had less-severe migraine attacks (zero patients with moderately or severely disabling migraine attacks vs 37% [7 patients] in the placebo group; difference, -36.8% [95% CI, -58.5% to -15.2%]; P = .046). There were no between-group differences in the rate of patients with at least 1 adverse event (16.7% [14 patients] in the clopidogrel group vs 21.8% [19 patients] in the placebo group; difference, -5.2% [95% CI, -17% to 6.6%]; P = .44). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among patients who underwent transcatheter ASD closure, the use of clopidogrel and aspirin, compared with aspirin alone, resulted in a lower monthly frequency of migraine attacks over 3 months. Further studies are needed to assess generalizability and durability of this effect. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00799045.

Abstract
There are currently no data evaluating the hematologic and biocompatibility profile of transcatheter aortic valves in vivo. We evaluated the incidence, predictive factors, and clinical consequences associated with hemolysis post-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). A total of 122 patients who underwent TAVI with a balloon-expandable valve were included. Baseline blood sampling and echocardiography, followed by early post-TAVI echocardiography and repeat blood sampling, at 6 to 12 months post-TAVI were performed. Hemolysis post-TAVI was defined according to the established criteria. The incidence of hemolysis post-TAVI was 14.8% yet no patient experienced severe hemolytic anemia requiring transfusion. Compared with the nonhemolysis group, those with hemolysis demonstrated significant reductions in hemoglobin (p = 0.012), were more frequently women (67% vs 34%, p = 0.016), and had a higher incidence of post-TAVI severe prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) (44% vs 17%, p = 0.026). The rate of mild or more prosthetic valve regurgitation did not significantly differ between those patients with and without hemolysis (56% vs 37%, p = 0.44). Wall shear rate (WSR) and energy loss index (ELI), both indirect measures of shear stress, were higher (p = 0.039) and lower (p = 0.004), respectively, in those patients with hemolysis. Increasing PPM severity was also associated with significant stepwise WSR increments and ELI decrements (p <0.01 for both). In conclusion, subclinical hemolysis occurred in 15% of patients following TAVI. Although prosthetic valve regurgitation had no impact on hemolysis, a novel association between PPM and hemolysis was found, likely driven by higher shear stress as determined by WSR and ELI. These hematologic and biomechanical findings may have long-term clinical implications and could affect future transcatheter aortic valve design.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients often suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) impairments that are associated with the alteration of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the myenteric nervous system. Growing evidence suggests that inflammation originating from the gut may have a major impact in both the initiation and progression of PD. Here, we investigated the role of the innate immune response in neurodegeneration occurring in central nervous system (CNS) and enteric nervous system (ENS) in response to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), a neurotoxin that produces Parkinsonism in both humans and animal models. We found a strong immune response in the gut of mice treated with MPTP, as demonstrated by the prominent presence of macrophages derived from CD115(+) CD11b(+) Ly6C(Hi) monocytes, known as M1 monocytes, and increased production of IL-1β and IL-6. Partial depletion of proinflammatory M1 monocytes through intravenous injections of clodronate-encapsulated liposome protects against MPTP-induced reduction of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the ENS. In contrast, loss of striatal TH expression in the CNS after MPTP intoxication occurs regardless of partial monocyte depletion. Examination of brain tissue revealed that microglial activation, comprising the majority of the immune response in the CNS after MPTP injections is unaffected by M1 depletion. In vitro experiments revealed that MPTP and MPP(+) act directly on monocytes to elicit a proinflammatory response that is, in part, dependent on the MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway resulting in nitrite and proinflammatory cytokine production. Taken together, our results demonstrate a critical role for proinflammatory M1 monocytes/macrophages in DAergic alterations occurring in the GI, but not in the brain, in the MPTP model of PD.
