Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to understand the incidence and outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) due to severe aortic stenosis (AS), and the impact of conventional treatment strategies in this population. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients admitted to the Cleveland Clinic cardiac intensive care unit between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2021 with CS were retrospectively identified and categorized into those with CS in the setting of severe AS versus CS without AS. The impact of various treatment strategies on mortality was further assessed. We identified 2754 patients with CS during the study period, of whom 216 patients (8%) had CS in the setting of severe AS. Medical management was associated with the highest 30-day mortality when compared with either balloon aortic valve replacement or aortic valve replacement (surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement) (hazard ratio, 3.69 [95% CI, 2.04-6.66]; P<0.0001). Among patients who received transcatheter therapy, 30-day mortality was significantly higher in patients who received balloon aortic valvuloplasty versus transcatheter aortic valve replacement (26% versus 4%, P=0.02). Both surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacement had considerably lower mortality than medical management and balloon aortic valvuloplasty at 30 days and 1 year (P<0.05 for both comparisons). CONCLUSIONS CS due to severe AS is associated with high in-hospital and 30-day mortality, worse compared with those with CS without AS. In suitable patients, urgent surgical aortic valvuloplasty or transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with favorable short- and long-term outcomes. Although balloon aortic valvuloplasty may be used to temporize patients with CS in the setting of severe AS, mortality is ≈50% if not followed by definitive aortic valve replacement within 90 days.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS) exhibit high morbidity and mortality. Limited evidence exists on the role of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in this patient population. To investigate the benefit of AVR in moderate AS on survival and left ventricular function. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, patients with moderate AS between 2008 and 2016 were selected from the Cleveland Clinic echocardiography database and followed until 2018. Patients were classified as receiving AVR or managed medically (clinical surveillance). All-cause and cardiovascular mortality were assessed by survival analyses. Temporal haemodynamic and structural changes were assessed with longitudinal analyses using linear mixed effects models. RESULTS We included 1421 patients (mean age, 75.3±5.4 years and 39.9% women) followed over a median duration of 6 years. Patients in the AVR group had lower risk of all-cause (adjusted HR (aHR)=0.51, 95% CI: 0.34 to 0.77; p=0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (aHR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.31 to 0.80; p=0.004) compared with those in the clinical surveillance group irrespective of sex, receipt of other open-heart surgeries and underlying malignancy. These findings were seen only in those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%. Further, patients in the AVR group had a significant trend towards an increase in LVEF and a decrease in right ventricular systolic pressure compared with those in the clinical surveillance group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with moderate AS, AVR was associated with favourable clinical outcomes and left ventricular remodelling.

Abstract
Oral tumors are relatively common in dogs, and canine oral squamous cell carcinoma (COSCC) is the most prevalent oral malignancy of epithelial origin. COSCC is locally aggressive with up to 20% of patients showing regional or distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis. The treatment of choice most typically involves wide surgical excision. Although long-term remission is possible, treatments are associated with significant morbidity and can negatively impact functionality and quality of life. OSCCs have significant upregulation of the RAS-RAF-MEK-MAPK signaling axis, and we had previously hypothesized that small-molecule inhibitors that target RAS signaling might effectively inhibit tumor growth and progression. Here, we demonstrate that the MEK inhibitor trametinib, an FDA-approved drug for human cancers, significantly blocks the growth of several COSCC cell lines established from current patient tumor samples. We further show clinical evidence that the drug is able to cause significant tumor regression in some patients with spontaneously occurring COSCC. Given the limited treatment options available and the high rate of owner rejection of these offered options, these findings provide new hope that more acceptable treatment options may soon enter the veterinary clinic.

Abstract
Low muscle mass (LMM) is associated with worse outcomes in various clinical situations. Traditional frailty markers have been used for preoperative risk stratification in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, preoperative imaging provides an opportunity to directly quantify skeletal muscle mass to identify patients at higher risk of procedural complications. We reviewed all TAVR recipients from January to December 2018 and included subjects with preprocedural chest computed tomography. Multi-slice automated measurements of skeletal muscle mass were made from the ninth to twelfth thoracic vertebrae and normalized by height squared to obtain skeletal muscle index (cm2/m2). LMM was defined as the lowest gender-stratified skeletal muscle index tertile. Strength testing was collected during pre-TAVR evaluation. Primary outcome was a composite of perioperative complications, 1-year rehospitalization, or 1-year mortality. In our cohort, 238 patients met inclusion criteria, and 80 (33.6%) were identified to have LMM. Patients with LMM were older with lower body mass index, decreased grip strength, lower hemoglobin A1c, and higher N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide. They had greater rates of the composite outcome and 2-year all-cause mortality, which remained significant on multivariable adjustment (hazard ratio 1.71, 95% confidence interval 1.05 to 2.78, p = 0.030 and hazard ratio 2.31, 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 5.24, p = 0.045, respectively) compared with patients without LMM; there was no significant difference in 5-year all-cause mortality. In conclusion, LMM was associated with an increase in the primary composite outcome and 2-year all-cause mortality in TAVR recipients. Using automatic muscle processing software on pre-TAVR computed tomography scans may serve as an additional preoperative risk stratification tool.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Candidates for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) occasionally have a "borderline-size" aortic annulus between 2 transcatheter heart valve sizes, based on the manufacturer's sizing chart. Data on TAVR outcomes in such patients are limited. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 1816 patients who underwent transfemoral-TAVR with balloon-expandable valve (BEV) at our institution between 2016 and 2020. We divided patients into borderline and non-borderline groups based on computed tomography-derived annular measurements and compared outcomes. Furthermore, we analyzed procedural characteristics and compared outcomes between the smaller- and larger-valve strategies in patients with borderline-size annulus. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 23.3 months, there was no significant difference between the borderline (n = 310, 17.0 %) and non-borderline (n = 1506) groups in mortality (17.3 % vs. 19.5 %; hazard ratio [HR] = 0.86 [95% CI = 0.62-1.20], p = 0.39), major adverse cardiac/cerebrovascular events (MACCE: death/myocardial infarction/stroke, 21.2 % vs. 21.5 %; HR = 0.97 [0.71-1.32], p = 0.85), paravalvular leak (PVL: mild 21.8 % vs. 20.6 %, p = 0.81; moderate 0 % vs. 1.2 %; p = 0.37), or mean gradient (12.9 ± 5.8 vs. 12.6 ± 5.2 mmHg, p = 0.69) at 1 year. There was no significant difference between the larger-(n = 113) and smaller-valve(n = 197) subgroups in mortality (23.7 % vs. 15.2 %; HR = 1.57 [0.89-2.77], p = 0.12), MACCE (28.1 % vs. 18.4 %; HR = 1.52 [0.91-2.54], p = 0.11), mild PVL (13.3 % vs. 25.9 %; p = 0.12), or mean gradient (12.3 ± 4.5 vs. 13.6 ± 5.3 mmHg, p = 0.16); however, the rate of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) was higher in the larger-valve subgroup (15.9 % vs. 2.6 %, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Borderline-size annulus is not associated with higher risk of adverse outcomes after BEV-TAVR. However, the larger-valve strategy for borderline-size annulus is associated with higher PPI risk, suggesting a greater risk of injury to the conduction system.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The unique pathophysiologic considerations of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) have led to advancements in surgical and transcatheter treatments. The purpose of this review is to highlight the current surgical and transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVI) to functional TR. RECENT FINDINGS Surgical repair with ring annuloplasty consistently demonstrates better outcomes than surgical replacement or other repair approaches. However, surgical uptake of TR correction remains relatively low, and operative mortality rates are still high owing to multiple comorbidities and advanced tricuspid valve disease/right ventricular dysfunction at time of referral. Pivotal trials for tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) and transcatheter TV replacement (TTVR) indicate improved quality of life compared to medical therapy alone for high-surgical-risk patients with severe symptomatic TR. Trials are underway to assess caval valve implantation (CAVI), which holds hope for many severe TR patients who are not ideal candidates for T-TEER or orthotopic TTVR. Peri-procedural optimization of right ventricular function remains critical to promote both device success and patient outcomes. SUMMARY Clinical outcomes after surgical TV intervention are poor, often due to intervening late in the disease course of TR. TTVI covers a treatment gap for patients deemed inoperable or high-surgical-risk, but earlier referral for TV interventions is still important prior to patients developing multiorgan dysfunction from chronic untreated TR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who experience in-hospital ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (iSTEMI) represent a uniquely high-risk cohort owing to delays in diagnosis, prolonged time to reperfusion and increased mortality. Quality initiatives aimed at improving the care of this vulnerable, yet understudied population are needed. METHODS This study included consecutive patients with iSTEMI treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 1 January 2011 and 15 July 2019 at a single, tertiary referral centre. A comprehensive iSTEMI protocol (CSP) was implemented on 15 July 2014, incorporating: (1) cardiology fellow activation of the catheterisation lab using standardised criteria, (2) nursing chest pain protocol, (3) improved electronic access to electrocardiographic studies, (4) checklist for initial triage and management, (5) 24/7/365 catheterisation lab readiness and (6) radial-first PCI approach. Key metrics and clinical outcomes were compared before and after CSP implementation. RESULTS Among 125 total subjects, the post-CSP cohort (n=81) was younger, had more males and were more likely to be hospitalised for cardiac-related reasons relative to the pre-CSP cohort (n=44) who were more likely hospitalised for operative-related aetiologies. After CSP adoption, median ECG-to-first-device-activation time decreased from 113 min to 64 min (p<0.001), goal ECG-to-first-device-activation time increased from 36% to 76% of patients (p<0.001), administration of guideline-directed medical therapy prior to PCI increased from 27.3% to 65.4% (p<0.001), trans-radial access increased from 16% to 70% (p<0.001) and rates of discharge home increased from 56.8% to 76.5% (p=0.04). Statistically insignificant numerical reductions were observed post-CSP in in-hospital mortality (18.2% vs 9.9%, p=0.30), 30-day mortality (15.9% vs 12.3%, p=0.78) and 1-year mortality (27.3% vs 21.0%, p=0.57). CONCLUSIONS The implementation of a CSP was associated with marked enhancements in key care metrics among patients with iSTEMI. Among a larger cohort, the use of a CSP yielded a significant reduction in ECG-to-first-device-activation time in a particularly vulnerable population at high risk of death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients, the optimal management of concomitant chronic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unknown. Some advocate for pre-TAVR percutaneous coronary intervention, while others manage it expectantly. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of varying degrees and extent of untreated chronic obstructive CAD on TAVR and longer-term outcomes. METHODS The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of TAVR recipients from January 2015 to November 2021, separating patients into stable non-obstructive or varying degrees of obstructive CAD. The major outcomes of interest were procedural all-cause mortality and complications, major adverse cardiovascular events, and post-TAVR unplanned coronary revascularization. RESULTS Of the 1911 patients meeting inclusion, 75%, 6%, 10%, and 9% had non-obstructive, intermediate-risk, high-risk, and extreme-risk CAD, respectively. Procedural complication rates overall were low (death 0.4%, shock 0.1%, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation 0.1%), with no difference across groups. At a median follow-up of 21 months, rates of acute coronary syndrome and unplanned coronary revascularization were 0.7% and 0.5%, respectively, in the non-obstructive population, rising in incidence with increasing severity of CAD (P < .001 for acute coronary syndrome/unplanned coronary revascularization). Multivariable analysis did not yield a significantly greater risk of all-cause mortality or major adverse cardiovascular events across groups. One-year acute coronary syndrome and unplanned coronary revascularization rates in time-to-event analyses were significantly greater in the non-obstructive (98%) vs. obstructive (94%) subsets (Plog-rank< .001). CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter aortic valve replacement can be performed safely in patients with untreated chronic obstructive CAD, without portending higher procedural complication rates and with relatively low rates of unplanned coronary revascularization and acute coronary syndrome at 1 year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several orthotopic transcatheter strategies have been developed to treat severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR); however, many patients are deemed unsuitable. Caval valve implantation with the TricValve system addresses this unmet need. OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the impact of TricValve on systemic congestion and quality of life (QOL) at 1 year. METHODS The TRICUS (Safety and Efficacy of the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valves System in the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava in Patients With Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation) and TRICUS EURO studies were prospective, nonblinded, nonrandomized, single-arm trials representing the early-in-man experience of the TricValve system in NYHA functional class III or IV severe TR patients, optimally medicated and ineligible for open heart surgery, with significant caval backflow. The primary endpoint was QOL metrics and functional status. The 1-year results of the combined cohort are described here. RESULTS Forty-four patients were included. Mean age was 76.2 ± 7.5 years, 81.0% were women, and the TRISCORE (risk score model for isolated tricuspid valve surgery) was 5.3 ± 1.3. Clinical improvement at 1 year was achieved in 42 (95.5%) patients, measured by (at least 1 of) an increase in ≥15 points from baseline in 12-item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, improvement to NYHA functional class to I or II, or an increase ≥40 m in the 6-minute walk test. There were 3 (6.8%) deaths at 1-year follow-up (1 cardiovascular), and the heart failure rehospitalization rate was 29.5%. Stent fracture, conduction system disturbances, or clinically significant leaflet thrombosis were not detected. Abolished hepatic vein backflow was achieved and persisted in 63.8% of the patients, contributing towards a reduction in congestive symptoms, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels (P = 0.032), and diuretic treatment. CONCLUSIONS Caval valve implantation with the TricValve system associated with meaningful 1-year clinical improvements in terms of QOL along with relatively low mortality rates.

Abstract
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital valvular malformation, which may lead to early aortic valve disease and bicuspid-associated aortopathy. A novel BAV classification system was recently proposed to coincide with transcatheter aortic valve replacement being increasingly considered in younger patients with symptomatic BAV, with good clinical results, yet without randomized trial evidence. Procedural technique, along with clinical outcomes, have considerably improved in BAV patients compared with tricuspid aortic stenosis patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The present review summarizes the novel BAV classification systems and examines contemporary surgical and transcatheter approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regional functional left ventricular (LV) assessment using current imaging techniques remains limited. Inward displacement (InD) has been developed as a novel technique to assess regional LV function via measurement of the regional displacement of the LV endocardial border across each of the 17 LV segments. Currently, normal ranges for InD are not available for clinical use. The aim of this study was to validate the normal reference limits of InD in healthy adults across all LV segments. METHODS InD was analyzed in 120 healthy subjects with a normal LV ejection fraction, using the three standard long-axis views obtained during cardiac MRI that quantified the degree of inward endocardial wall motion towards the true LV center of contraction. For all LV segments, InD was measured in mm and expressed as a percentage of the theoretical degree of maximal segment contraction towards the true LV centerline. The arithmetic average InD was obtained for each of the 17 segments. The LV was divided into three regions, obtaining average InD at the LV base (segments 1-6), mid-cavity (segments 7-12) and apex (segments 13-17). RESULTS Average InD was 33.4 ± 4.3%. InD was higher in basal and mid-cavity LV segments (32.8 ± 4.1% and 38.1 ± 5.8%) compared to apical LV segments (28.6 ± 7.7%). Interobserver variability correlations for InD were strong (R = 0.80, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS We provide clinically meaningful reference ranges for InD in subjects with normal LV function, which will emerge as an important screening and assessment imaging tool for a range of HFrEF therapies.

Abstract
As mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is evolving as an effective treatment for high-risk surgical patients with mitral regurgitation, there is a pressing need for cardiologists to optimize resources through risk stratification of in-hospital mortality for this patient population. Although current risk-prediction models have been shown to predict adverse outcomes with reasonable accuracy, models trained using the US nationwide population are lacking. This study aimed to identify clinical, demographic, and procedural features that predict in-hospital mortality, and to derive and validate an in-hospital mortality risk-prediction tool in patients who have undergone M-TEER. A total of 9,373 admissions from the Nationwide Readmissions Database of patients who underwent M-TEER between 2015 and 2018 were used to develop and validate the model. We first performed least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regularization of Cox regression (Coxnet) that is 10-fold cross-validated. The non-zero coefficients were multiplied with the respective values of each observation of the predictors to build the scoring formula. Out of 9,373 admissions, 196 patients (2%) died in-hospital during index admission. In descending order, the top variables that were most predictive of in-hospital mortality were higher age, presence of fluid and electrolyte disturbance, and large metropolitan location of the hospital. The validation C-statistic of the MitraCox score was 0.82. Using X-tile software (Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut), 2 cutoffs of the score were determined on the basis of in-hospital mortality and length of stay, and the survival of the population was classified into 3 risk groups: low, intermediate, and high. The scoring system deployed online as a web-based calculator can be accessed at https://kathavs.shinyapps.io/Mitracox_Kapadia/. In conclusion, MitraCox score is easy to calculate and predicts in-hospital mortality depending on length of stay in a dynamic manner.

Abstract
Aims Conduction abnormalities necessitating permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation remain the most frequent complication post-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), yet reliance on PPM function varies. We evaluated the association of right-ventricular (RV)-stimulation rate post-TAVI with 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization). Methods and results This retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing TAVI in two high-volume centers included patients with existing PPM pre-TAVI or new PPM post-TAVI. There was a bimodal distribution of RV-stimulation rates stratifying patients into two groups of either low [≤10%: 1.0 (0.0, 3.6)] or high [>10%: 96.0 (54.0, 99.9)] RV-stimulation rate post-TAVI. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated comparing MACE in patients with high vs. low RV-stimulation rates post-TAVI. Of 4659 patients, 408 patients (8.6%) had an existing PPM pre-TAVI and 361 patients (7.7%) underwent PPM implantation post-TAVI. Mean age was 82.3 ± 8.1 years, 39% were women. A high RV-stimulation rate (>10%) development post-TAVI is associated with a two-fold increased risk for MACE [1.97 (1.20, 3.25), P = 0.008]. Valve implantation depth was an independent predictor of high RV-stimulation rate [odds ratio (95% CI): 1.58 (1.21, 2.06), P=<0.001] and itself associated with MACE [1.27 (1.00, 1.59), P = 0.047]. Conclusion Greater RV-stimulation rates post-TAVI correlate with increased 1-year MACE in patients with new PPM post-TAVI or in those with existing PPM but low RV-stimulation rates pre-TAVI. A shallower valve implantation depth reduces the risk of greater RV-stimulation rates post-TAVI, correlating with improved patient outcomes. These data highlight the importance of a meticulous implant technique even in TAVI recipients with pre-existing PPMs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is thought to be prevalent in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who are referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, prior studies were published when TAVR was only offered to elderly, inoperable, and high-risk patients. The aim of this study was to reevaluate the prevalence of ATTR-CA in a contemporary TAVR population and identify high-risk features to guide referral for technetium-99 pyrophosphate scan (99mTc-PyP scan) screening. METHODS Patients seen in a multidisciplinary TAVR clinic for severe AS 70 years and older were referred for a 99mTc-PyP scan to evaluate for ATTR-CA. The primary outcome was the percent with a positive scan. The discriminatory ability of high-risk features was assessed to develop a more judicious screening system. RESULTS Over the study period, 380 patients underwent screening, and 20 patients (5.3%) had a positive scan, with 17 patients having confirmed ATTR-CA, 1 patient deferring confirmatory testing (combined 4.7%), 1 having light chain amyloidosis, and 1 negative on biopsy. Compared to other patient and echocardiographic measures, elevated NT-pro BNP (> 1000 ng/L) was the best discriminator on who should be referred for 99mTc-PyP scan screening, with a sensitivity of 90% and a negative predictive value of 99%. CONCLUSION The prevalence of ATTR-CA may be lower in a contemporary TAVR population due to its expanded indication for low-risk patients. NT-pro BNP is a simple test that can improve screening yield and more judiciously guide screening for ATTR-CA in this at-risk population. Comparison of the original versus the proposed algorithm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary accessibility following redo-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (redo-TAVR) is increasingly important, particularly in younger low-risk patients. This study aimed to predict coronary accessibility after simulated Sapien-3 balloon-expandable valve implantation within an Evolut supra-annular, self-expanding valve using pre-TAVR computed tomography (CT) imaging. METHODS A total of 219 pre-TAVR CT scans from the Evolut Low-Risk CT substudy were analyzed. Virtual Evolut and Sapien-3 valves were sized using CT-based diameters. Two initial Evolut implant depths were analyzed, 3 and 5 mm. Coronary accessibility was evaluated for 2 Sapien-3 in Evolut implant positions: Sapien-3 outflow at Evolut node 4 and Evolut node 5. RESULTS With a 3-mm initial Evolut implant depth, suitable coronary access was predicted in 84% of patients with the Sapien-3 outflow at Evolut node 4, and in 31% of cases with the Sapien-3 outflow at Evolut node 5 (P<0.001). Coronary accessibility improved with a 5-mm Evolut implant depth: 97% at node 4 and 65% at node 5 (P<0.001). When comparing 3- to 5-mm Evolut implant depth, sinus sequestration was the lowest with Sapien-3 outflow at Evolut node 4 (13% versus 2%; P<0.001), and the highest at Evolut node 5 (61% versus 32%; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Coronary accessibility after Sapien-3 in Evolut redo-TAVR relates to the initial Evolut implant depth, the Sapien-3 outflow position within the Evolut, and the native annular anatomy. This CT-based quantitative analysis may provide useful information to inform and refine individualized preprocedural CT planning of the initial TAVR and guide lifetime management for future coronary access after redo-TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) exhibit high morbidity and mortality. Tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is a rapidly evolving strategy to address the unmet clinical need of severe TR therapies. OBJECTIVE Organize the current body of evidence on outcomes following use of the PASCAL (Edwards Lifesciences) system for T-TEER. METHODS For this meta-analysis, we searched the MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for keywords ["tricuspid"] and ["transcatheter" or "edge-to-edge"] and ["PASCAL" or "leaflet repair" or "valve repair"] from the database inception until January 11, 2023. Primary outcomes of interest were procedural success, mortality, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, 6-min walking distance (6MWD), and TR severity. RESULTS A total of 549 patients undergoing PASCAL or PASCAL Ace T-TEER were included. The mean age ranged from 71.0 to 80.3 years, with 25.0 to 63.6% females. The follow-up duration ranged from 30 days to 1 year. The success rate was 83.5% (409/490). There was improvement in symptoms based on NYHA classification (at 1- to 6-months; NYHA ≥3 RR 0.27 [95% CI 0.19-0.39]; p < 0.001) and 6MWD (at 1-month; 50.96 [95% CI 32.34-69.59]; p < 0.001) post-procedure. On imaging, there was improvement in TR severity post-procedure (at 1- to 12-months; ≥ severe TR 0.21 [95% CI 0.14-0.31]; p < 0.001), which remained significant with each study removed. CONCLUSION PASCAL for T-TEER is associated with high procedural success rates along with improvements in NYHA functional class, TR severity, 6MWD, and patient-reported outcomes.

Abstract
Calcified atheroma has been viewed conventionally as stable lesion which less likely increases no-reflow phenomenon. Given that lipidic materials triggers the formation of calcification, lipidic materials could exist within calcified lesion, which may cause no-reflow phenomenon after PCI. The REASSURE-NIRS registry (NCT04864171) employed near-infrared spectroscopy and intravascular ultrasound imaging to evaluate maximum 4-mm lipid-core burden index (maxLCBI4mm) at target lesions containing small (maximum calcification arc < 180°: n = 272) and large calcification (maximum calcification arc ≥ 180°: n = 189) in stable CAD patients. The associations of maxLCBI4mm with corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) and no-reflow phenomenon after PCI were analyzed in patients with target lesions containing small and large calcification, respectively. No-reflow phenomenon occurred in 8.0% of study population. Receiver-operating characteristics curve analyses revealed that optimal cut-off values of maxLCBI4mm for predicting no-reflow phenomenon were 585 at small calcification (AUC = 0.72, p < 0.001) and 679 at large calcification (AUC = 0.76, p = 0.001). Target lesions containing small calcification with maxLCBI4mm ≥ 585 more likely exhibited a greater CTFC (p < 0.001). In those with large calcification, 55.6% of them had maxLCBI4mm ≥ 400 [vs. 56.2% (small calcification), p = 0.82]. Furthermore, a higher CTFC (p < 0.001) was observed in association with maxLCBI4mm ≥ 679 at large calcification. On multivariable analysis, maxLCBI4mm at large calcification still independently predicted no-reflow phenomenon (OR = 1.60, 95%CI = 1.32-1.94, p < 0.001). MaxLCBI4mm at target lesions exhibiting large calcification elevated a risk of no-reflow phenomenon after PCI. Calcified plaque containing lipidic materials is not necessarily stable lesion, but could be active and high-risk one causing no-reflow phenomenon.

Abstract
Inflammation has been considered to promote atheroma instability. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) visualizes pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation, which reflects coronary artery inflammation. While PCAT attenuation has been reported to predict future coronary events, plaque phenotypes exhibiting high PCAT attenuation remains to be fully elucidated. The current study aims to characterize coronary atheroma with a greater vascular inflammation. We retrospectively analyzed culprit lesions in 69 CAD patients receiving PCI from the REASSURE-NIRS registry (NCT04864171). Culprit lesions were evaluated by both CCTA and near-infrared spectroscopy/intravascular ultrasound (NIRS/IVUS) imaging prior to PCI. PCAT attenuation at proximal RCA (PCATRCA) and NIRS/IVUS-derived plaque measures were compared in patients with PCATRCA attenuation ≥ and < -78.3 HU (median). Lesions with PCATRCA attenuation ≥ -78.3 HU exhibited a greater frequency of maxLCBI4mm ≥ 400 (66% vs. 26%, p < 0.01), plaque burden ≥ 70% (94% vs. 74%, p = 0.02) and spotty calcification (49% vs. 6%, p < 0.01). Whereas positive remodeling (63% vs. 41%, p = 0.07) did not differ between two groups. On multivariable analysis, maxLCBI4mm ≥ 400 (OR = 4.07; 95%CI 1.12-14.74, p = 0.03), plaque burden ≥ 70% (OR = 7.87; 95%CI 1.01-61.26, p = 0.04), and spotty calcification (OR = 14.33; 95%CI 2.37-86.73, p < 0.01) independently predicted high PCATRCA attenuation. Of note, while the presence of only one plaque feature did not necessarily elevate PCATRCA attenuation (p = 0.22), lesions harboring two or more features were significantly associated with higher PCATRCA attenuation. More vulnerable plaque phenotypes were observed in patients with high PCATRCA attenuation. Our findings suggest PCATRCA attenuation as the presence of profound disease substrate, which potentially benefits from anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
Stroke remains a devastating complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), with the incidence of clinically apparent stroke seemingly fixed at around 3% despite TAVR's significant evolution during the past decade. Embolic showers of debris (calcium, atheroma, valve material, foreign material) are captured in the majority of patients who have TAVR using a filter-based cerebral embolic protection device (CEPD). Additionally, in systematic brain imaging studies, the majority of patients receiving TAVR exhibit new cerebral lesions. Mechanistic studies have shown reductions in the volume of new cerebral lesions using CEPDs, yet the first randomised trial powered for periprocedural stroke within 72 hours of a transfemoral TAVR failed to meet its primary endpoint of showing superiority of the SENTINEL CEPD. The present review summarises the clinicopathological rationale for the development of CEPDs, the evidence behind these devices to date and the emerging recognition of cerebral embolisation in many non-TAVR transcatheter procedures. Given the uniqueness of each of the various CEPDs under development, specific trials tailored to their designs will need to be undertaken to broaden the CEPD field, in addition to evaluating the role of CEPD in non-TAVR transcatheter heart interventions. Importantly, the cost-effectiveness of these devices will require assessment to broaden the adoption of CEPDs globally.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computed tomography angiography (CTA) and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) are routinely performed before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to assess aortic root anatomy and screen for coronary artery disease (CAD), respectively. OBJECTIVES This study explored the efficacy of CTA as a screening tool for significant proximal CAD before TAVR. METHODS With proper ethical oversight, patients undergoing TAVR at Cleveland Clinic with a preprocedural CTA and invasive coronary angiography (ICA), and no prior percutaneous intervention, were identified from 2015 to 2021. Blinded to ICA results, the authors reviewed the left main, proximal left anterior descending coronary artery, proximal left circumflex coronary artery, and proximal right coronary artery by CTA coronary reconstruction to assess for nonsignificant stenosis (0% to 49%), moderate stenosis (50% to 69%), and severe stenosis (≥70%). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and Cohen Kappa statistic were analyzed. RESULTS 2,217 patients (53.4% male, age 79.2 ± 8.5 years) met inclusion criteria. CTA evaluation revealed a sensitivity of 90%, specificity of 92%, PPV of 74%, and NPV of 97% for detecting ≥50% stenosis. Using a ≥70% stenosis cutoff, evaluation revealed a sensitivity of 91%, specificity of 97%, PPV of 83%, and NPV of 99%. Assessment of bypass graft patency revealed a sensitivity of 86%, specificity of 97%, PPV of 84%, and NPV of 98%. Cohen Kappa analysis indicated substantial to near perfect agreement between pre-TAVR CTA and ICA. CONCLUSIONS Pre-TAVR CTA has a high NPV for high-grade proximal stenosis of each coronary artery. As a result, CTA can be used as a screening tool to rule out significant proximal CAD in patients undergoing TAVR.

Abstract
Concomitant aortic stenosis (AS) in heart failure (HF) is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Current guidelines recommend aortic valve replacement in patients with severe symptomatic AS and asymptomatic AS with left ventricular ejection fraction <50% and during other cardiac surgeries. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has now allowed for the treatment of severe AS in previously inoperable or high-surgical-risk patients. Leveraging multimodality imaging techniques is increasingly recognized for reinforcing the rationale for intervening early, thus mitigating the risk of ongoing progression to advanced HF. There are increasing data in favor of TAVR in diverse clinical scenarios, particularly asymptomatic AS and moderate AS. Limited information is, however, available regarding the advantages of HF medical therapy before and after intervention. This review aims to comprehensively examine the phenotypes of AS in the context of HF progression, while exploring the evolving role of TAVR in specific populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The latest-generation Evolut FX TAVR system (Medtronic) offers several potential design improvements over its predecessors, but early reported experience has been limited. OBJECTIVES This study sought to report our multicenter, limited market release, first-in-human experience of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the Evolut FX system and compare it with a single-center PRO+ (Medtronic) experience. METHODS From June 27 to September 16, 2022, 226 consecutive patients from 9 US centers underwent transfemoral TAVR with the Evolut FX system for native aortic stenosis (89.4%) or prosthetic valve degeneration (10.6%). Commissural alignment was defined as 0° to 30° between native and FX commissures. Patient, anatomical, and procedural characteristics were retrospectively reviewed, and 30-day clinical and echocardiographic outcomes per Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 definitions were reported. RESULTS Of 226 patients, 34.1% were low risk, 4% had a bicuspid valve, and 11.5% had a horizontal root (≥60°). Direct Inline sheath (Medtronic) was used in 67.6% and Lunderquist stiff wire (Cook Medical) in 35.4% of cases. Optimal hat marker orientation during deployment was achieved in 98.4%, with commissural alignment in 96.5%. At 30 days, 14.3% mild, 0.9% moderate, and no severe paravalvular leak were observed. Compared with the Evolut PRO+ experience from 1 center, FX had a more symmetrical implantation with shallower depth at the left coronary cusp (P < 0.001), fewer device recaptures (26.1% vs 39.5%; P = 0.004), and improved commissural alignment (96.5% vs 80.2%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The Evolut FX system demonstrated favorable 30-day outcomes with a significant improvement over PRO+ in achieving commissural alignment, fewer device recaptures, and more symmetrical implantation. These features may benefit younger patients undergoing TAVR with the supra-annular, self-expanding valve, where lifetime management would be important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the prognosis and management of severe aortic stenosis has been extensively studied, the risk stratification and outcomes of patients with moderate aortic stenosis remain elusive. METHODS This study included 674 patients from the Cleveland Clinic Health System with moderate aortic stenosis (aortic valve area, 1-1.5 cm2; mean gradient, 20-40 mm Hg; and peak velocity <4 m/s) and an NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) level within 3 months of index diagnosis. The primary outcome of major adverse cardiovascular events (defined as the composite outcome of progression to severe aortic stenosis requiring aortic valve replacement, heart failure hospitalization, or death) was extracted from the electronic medical record. RESULTS The mean age was 75.3±12 years, and 57% were men. During a median follow-up of 316 days, the composite end point occurred in 305 patients. There were 132 (19.6%) deaths, 144 (21.4%) heart failure hospitalizations, and 114 (16.9%) patients underwent aortic valve replacement. Elevated NT-proBNP (1.41 [95% CI, 1.01-1.95]; P=0.048), diabetes (1.46 [95% CI, 1.08-1.96]; P=0.01), elevated averaged mitral valve E/e' ratio (hazard ratio, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.18-2.10]; P<0.01), and presence atrial fibrillation at the time of index echocardiogram (hazard ratio, 1.83 [95% CI, 1.15-2.91]; P=0.01) were each independently associated with an increased hazard for the composite outcome and when taken collectively, each of these factors incrementally increased risk. CONCLUSIONS These results further elucidate the relatively poor short-medium term outcomes and risk stratification of patients with moderate aortic stenosis, supporting randomized trials assessing the efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in this population.

Abstract
Background Peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) is occasionally required to facilitate delivery system insertion or to treat vascular complications during transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR). However, the impact of PVI on outcomes is not well understood. Therefore, we aimed to compare outcomes between TF-TAVR with versus without PVI and between TF-TAVR with PVI versus non-TF-TAVR. Methods and Results We retrospectively reviewed 2386 patients who underwent TAVR with a balloon-expandable valve at a single institution from 2016 to 2020. The primary outcomes were death and major adverse cardiac/cerebrovascular event (MACCE), defined as death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Of 2246 TF-TAVR recipients, 136 (6.1%) required PVI (89% bailout treatment). During follow-up (median 23.0 months), there were no significant differences between TF-TAVR with and without PVI in death (15.4% versus 20.7%; adjusted HR [aHR], 0.96 [95% CI, 0.58-1.58]) or MACCE (16.9% versus 23.0%; aHR, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.52-1.36]). However, compared with non-TF-TAVR (n=140), TF-TAVR with PVI carried significantly lower rates of death (15.4% versus 40.7%; aHR, 0.42 [95% CI, 0.24-0.75]) and MACCE (16.9% versus 45.0%; aHR, 0.40 [95% CI, 0.23-0.68]). Landmark analyses demonstrated lower outcome rates following TF-TAVR with PVI than non-TF-TAVR both within 60 days (death 0.7% versus 5.7%, P=0.019; MACCE 0.7% versus 9.3%; P=0.001) and thereafter (death 15.0% versus 38.9%, P=0.014; MACCE 16.5% versus 41.3%, P=0.013). Conclusions The need for PVI during TF-TAVR is not uncommon, mainly due to the bailout treatment for vascular complications. PVI is not associated with worse outcomes in TF-TAVR recipients. Even when PVI is required, TF-TAVR is associated with better short- and intermediate-term outcomes than non-TF-TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular imaging has shown better response of coronary atheroma to statin-mediated lowering of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in women. However, its detailed mechanism remains to be determined yet. Modifiability of coronary atheroma under lipid-lowering therapies is partly driven by lipidic plaque component. Given a smaller plaque volume in women, lipidic plaque features including their density may differ between sex. Therefore, the current study sought to characterize sex-related differences in the density of lipidic plaque. METHODS We analyzed 1429 coronary lesions (culprit/nonculprit lesions=825/604) in 758 coronary artery disease patients (men/women=608/150) from the REASSURE-NIRS multicenter registry (Revelation of Pathophysiological Phenotypes of Vulnerable Lipid-Rich Plaque on Near-Infrared Spectroscopy). Total atheroma volume at 4-mm segment, maximum 4-mm-lipid-core burden index, and lipid plaque density index (=maximum 4-mm-lipid-core burden index/total atheroma volume at 4-mm segment) on near-infrared spectroscopy/intravascular ultrasound imaging at culprit and nonculprit lesions were compared in men and women. RESULTS Statin and high-intensity statin were used in 72.4 (P=0.81) and 22.9% (P=0.32) of study subjects, respectively. Women exhibited a smaller adjusted total atheroma volume at 4-mm segment (culprit lesions: 50.3±0.4 versus 54.2±0.3mm3, P<0.001, nonculprit lesions: 31.5±3.0 versus 44.4±2.1mm3, P<0.001), whereas their adjusted maximum 4-mm-lipid-core burden index did not differ between sex (culprit lesions: 544.7±29.9 versus 501.7±19.1, P=0.11, nonculprit lesions: 288.8±26.7 versus 272.7±18.9, P=0.51). Furthermore, a greater adjusted lipid plaque density index was observed in women (culprit lesions: 18.2±0.9 versus 9.8±0.6, P<0.001, nonculprit lesions: 23.0±2.0 versus 7.8±1.4, P<0.001). These adjustments of total atheroma volume at 4-mm segment, maximum 4-mm-lipid-core burden index, and lipid plaque density index included age, body mass index, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, a history of myocardial infarction and chronic kidney disease, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, statin and ezetimibe use, vessel volume, and hospital unit. The aforementioned plaque features consistently existed in both acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease subjects. CONCLUSIONS Women harbored greater condensed lipidic plaque features, accompanied by smaller atheroma volume. These observations indicate potentially better modifiable disease in women, which underscores the need to intensify their lipid-lowering therapies for further improving their outcomes.

Abstract
Data regarding the impact of pacing on outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is evolving especially with regards to pre-existing permanent pacemaker (PPM). We examined the impact of new and previous PPM on the clinical and hemodynamic outcomes after SAPIEN-3 TAVI. We included all consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI using SAPIEN-3 valve from 2015 to 2018 at our institution. Among 1,028 patients, 10.2% required a new PPM within 30 days, whereas 14% had a pre-existing PPM. The presence of either previous or new PPM had no impact on the 3-year mortality (log-rank p = 0.6) or 1-year major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (log-rank p = 0.65). New PPM was associated with lower left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) at both 30 days (54.4 ± 11.3% vs 58.4 ± 10.1%, p = 0.001) and 1 year (54.2 ± 12% vs 59.1 ± 9.9%, p = 0.009) than no PPM. Similarly, previous PPM was associated with worse LVEF at 30 days (53.6 ± 12.3%, p <0.001) and 1 year (55.5 ± 12.1%, p = 0.006) than no PPM. Interestingly, new PPM was associated with lower 1-year mean gradient (11.4 ± 3.8 vs 12.6 ± 5.6 mm Hg, p = 0.04) and peak gradient (21.3 ± 6.5 vs 24.1 ± 10.4 mm Hg, p = 0.01), despite no baseline differences. Previous PPM was also associated with lower 1-year mean gradient (10.3 ± 4.4 mm Hg, p = 0.001) and peak gradient (19.4 ± 8 mm Hg, p <0.001) and higher Doppler velocity index (0.51 ± 0.12 vs 0.47 ± 0.13, p = 0.039). Moreover, 1-year LV end-systolic volume index was higher with new (23.2 ± 16.1 vs 20 ± 10.8 ml/m2, p = 0.038) and previous PPM (24.5 ± 19.7, p = 0.038) than no PPM. Previous PPM was associated with higher moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation (35.3% vs 17.7%, p <0.001). There were no differences regarding the rest of the studied echocardiographic outcomes at 1 year. In conclusion, new and previous PPM did not affect 3-year mortality or 1-year major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events; however, they were associated with worse LVEF, higher 1-year LV end-systolic volume index, and lower mean and peak gradients on follow-up than no PPM.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in pharmacological, electrophysiological and valve therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the associated morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs remain high. With a constantly growing heart failure population, the existing treatment gap between current and advanced heart failure therapies (e.g., left ventricular [LV] assist devices, heart transplantation) reflects a large unmet need, calling for novel therapeutic approaches. Left ventricular remodelling and dilatation, with or without scar formation, is the hallmark of cardiomyopathy and is associated with poor prognosis. In the era of exciting advances in structural heart interventions, the advent of minimally invasive, device-based therapies directly targeting the LV geometry and promoting physical reverse remodelling has created a new frontier in the battle against heart failure. Interventional heart failure therapy is a rapidly emerging field, encompassing structural heart and minimally invasive hybrid procedures, with two left ventriculoplasty devices currently under investigation in pivotal clinical trials in the US. This review addresses the rationale for left ventriculoplasty, presents the prior surgical and percutaneous attempts in the field, provides an overview of the novel transcatheter left ventriculoplasty devices and their respective trials, and highlights potential challenges associated with establishing such device-based therapies in our armamentarium against heart failure.

Abstract
Activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (ABC-DLBCLs) are characterized by constitutive activation of nuclear factor κB driven by the B-cell receptor (BCR) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways. However, BCR-pathway-targeted therapies have limited impact on DLBCLs. Here we used >1,100 DLBCL patient samples to determine immune and extracellular matrix cues in the lymphoid tumour microenvironment (Ly-TME) and built representative synthetic-hydrogel-based B-cell-lymphoma organoids accordingly. We demonstrate that Ly-TME cellular and biophysical factors amplify the BCR-MYD88-TLR9 multiprotein supercomplex and induce cooperative signalling pathways in ABC-DLBCL cells, which reduce the efficacy of compounds targeting the BCR pathway members Bruton tyrosine kinase and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1). Combinatorial inhibition of multiple aberrant signalling pathways induced higher antitumour efficacy in lymphoid organoids and implanted ABC-DLBCL patient tumours in vivo. Our studies define the complex crosstalk between malignant ABC-DLBCL cells and Ly-TME, and provide rational combinatorial therapies that rescue Ly-TME-mediated attenuation of treatment response to MALT1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Data on the association between annular size and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) outcomes beyond 1 year are limited. The present study assessed the association between the aortic annulus size and TAVI clinical and hemodynamic outcomes at 3 years of follow-up. Patients were classified according to the aortic annulus size as having small, intermediate, and large annuli (size <400, 400 to 574, and ≥575 mm2, respectively). The co-primary endpoints were all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization. Further, the changes in hemodynamic outcomes over the follow-up period (median 37, interquartile range: 26 to 45 months) were assessed. The present analysis included 850 patients, with 182 patients (21.4%), 538 patients (63.3%), and 130 patients (15.3%) in the small, intermediate, and large-sized aortic annulus groups, respectively. The groups had comparable age and pre-TAVI pressure gradients; however, patients with small annuli had higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk scores. Adjusted Cox regression analysis showed that compared to patients with intermediate-sized annuli, patients with small and large annuli had similar all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72 to 1.69 and HR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.16, respectively) and heart failure hospitalization rates (HR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.69 and HR = 1.26, 95% CI 0.73 to 2.17, respectively). However, patients with small annuli had consistently higher mean and peak pressure gradients and a higher risk of patient-prosthesis mismatch. The risks of moderate-to-severe regurgitation and structural valve deterioration were similar between the three groups. In conclusion, although patients with small annuli had higher transvalvular gradients, there was no significant association between the aortic annulus size and TAVI clinical outcomes at 3 years of follow-up. Future studies should compare the performance of transcatheter valve types in patients with different aortic annulus sizes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data regarding the impact of the tricuspid valve gradient (TVG) after tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) are scarce. OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the association between the mean TVG and clinical outcomes among patients who underwent tricuspid TEER for significant tricuspid regurgitation. METHODS Patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation who underwent tricuspid TEER within the TriValve (International Multisite Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Therapies) registry were divided into quartiles based on the mean TVG at discharge. The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization. Outcomes were assessed up to the 1-year follow-up. RESULTS A total of 308 patients were included from 24 centers. Patients were divided into quartiles of the mean TVG as follows: quartile 1 (n = 77), 0.9 ± 0.3 mm Hg; quartile 2 (n = 115), 1.8 ± 0.3 mm Hg; quartile 3 (n = 65), 2.8 ± 0.3 mm Hg; and quartile 4 (n = 51), 4.7 ± 2.0 mm Hg. The baseline TVG and the number of implanted clips were associated with a higher post-TEER TVG. There was no significant difference across TVG quartiles in the 1-year composite endpoint (quartiles 1-4: 35%, 30%, 40%, and 34%, respectively; P = 0.60) or the proportion of patients in New York Heart Association class III to IV at the last follow-up (P = 0.63). The results were similar after adjustment for clinical and echocardiographic characteristics (composite endpoint quartile 4 vs quartile 1-quartile 3 adjusted HR: 1.05; 95% CI: 0.52-2.12; P = 0.88) or exploring post-TEER TVG as a continuous variable. CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective analysis of the TriValve registry, an increased discharge TVG was not significantly associated with adverse outcomes after tricuspid TEER. These findings apply for the explored TVG range and up to the 1-year follow-up. Further investigations on higher gradients and longer follow-up are needed to better guide the intraprocedural decision-making process.

Abstract
AIMS The impact of sexuality in patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate sex-specific outcomes in patients with significant TR treated with TTVI vs. medical therapy alone. METHODS AND RESULTS The Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Therapies (TriValve) registry collected data on patients with significant TR from 24 centres who underwent TTVI from 2016 to 2021. A control cohort was formed by medically managed patients with ≥severe isolated TR diagnosed in 2015-18. The primary endpoint was freedom from all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints were heart failure (HF) hospitalization, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional status, and TR severity. One-year outcomes were assessed for the TriValve cohort and compared with the control cohort with the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). A total of 556 and 2072 patients were included from the TriValve and control groups, respectively. After TTVI, there was no difference between women and men in 1-year freedom from all-cause mortality 80.9% vs. 77.9%, P = 0.56, nor in HF hospitalization (P = 0.36), NYHA Functional Classes III and IV (P = 0.17), and TR severity >2+ at last follow-up (P = 0.42). Multivariable Cox-regression weighted by IPTW showed improved 1-year survival after TTVI compared with medical therapy alone in both women (adjusted hazard ratio 0.45, 95% confidence interval 0.23-0.83, P = 0.01) and men (adjusted hazard ratio 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.18-0.89, P = 0.03). CONCLUSION After TTVI in high-risk patients, there were no sex-related differences in terms of survival, HF hospitalization, functional status, and TR reduction up to 1 year. The IPTW analysis shows a survival benefit of TTVI over medical therapy alone in both women and men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hybrid minimally invasive left ventricular reconstruction is used to treat patients with ischemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and antero-apical scar. Pre- and post-procedural regional functional left ventricular assessment with current imaging techniques remains limited. We evaluated 'inward displacement' as a novel technique of assessing regional left ventricular function in an ischemic HFrEF population who underwent left ventricular reconstruction with the Revivent System. METHODS Inward displacement adopts three standard long-axis views obtained during cardiac MRI or CT and assesses the degree of inward endocardial wall motion towards the true left ventricular center of contraction. For each of the standard 17 left ventricular segments, regional inward displacement is measured in mm and expressed as a percentage of the maximal theoretical distance each segment can contract towards the centerline. The left ventricle was divided into three regions, obtaining the arithmetic average of inward displacement or speckle tracking echocardiographic strain at the left ventricular base (segments 1-6), mid-cavity (segments 7-12) and apex (segments 13-17). Inward displacement was measured using computed tomography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and compared pre- and post-procedurally in ischemic HFrEF patients who underwent left ventricular reconstruction with the Revivent System (n = 36). In a subset of patients who underwent baseline speckle tracking echocardiography, pre-procedural inward displacement was compared with left ventricular regional echocardiographic strain (n = 15). RESULTS Inward displacement of basal and mid-cavity left ventricular segments increased by 27% (p < 0.001) and 37% (p < 0.001), respectively, following left ventricular reconstruction. A significant overall decrease in both the left ventricular end systolic volume index and end diastolic volume index of 31% (p < 0.001) and 26% (p < 0.001), respectively, was detected, along with a 20% increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.005). A significant correlation between inward displacement and speckle tracking echocardiographic strain was noted within the basal (R = -0.77, p < 0.001) and mid-cavity left ventricular segments (R = -0.65, p = 0.004), respectively. Inward displacement resulted in relatively larger measurement values compared to speckle tracking echocardiography, with a mean difference of absolute values of -3.33 and -7.41 for the left ventricular base and mid-cavity, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Obviating the limitations of echocardiography, inward displacement was found to highly correlate with speckle tracking echocardiographic strain to evaluate regional segmental left ventricular function. Significant improvements in basal and mid-cavity left ventricular contractility were demonstrated in ischemic HFrEF patients following left ventricular reconstruction of large antero-apical scars, consistent with the concept of reverse left ventricular remodeling at a distance. Inward displacement holds significant promise in the HFrEF population being evaluated pre- and post-left ventriculoplasty procedures.
