Abstract
Background: The long-term valve durability of supra-annular self-expanding valves (SEV) and intra-annular balloon-expandable valves (BEV) in patients with small aortic annuli remains unexplored.
Aims: This study aimed to determine the long-term bioprosthetic valve durability with SEV versus BEV in patients with small aortic annuli.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and an aortic annulus area of 430 mm2 or less who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement using SEV and BEV between October 2009 and December 2022. Based on the Valve Academic Research Consortium's three definitions, the endpoints were hemodynamic structural valve deterioration (SVD) and bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF). Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to compare between the two groups and adjust for baseline characteristics. The Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard model accounted for the competing risk of death.
Results: In total, 565 patients (204 treated with SEV and 361 treated with BEV) were included. The median follow-up duration was 3.6 years [2.0 years, 5.7 years], and the maximum was 12.3 years. Hemodynamic SVD and BVF were less frequently identified in the SEV group than in the BEV group (1.1% vs. 9.1% within 5 years, 0.7% vs. 8.1% within 5 years, respectively). On the IPTW adjusted Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard model analysis, hemodynamic SVD was less frequent in SEV compared with BEV (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.16; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.04-0.56, p = 0.004). SEV was also associated with a lower BVF risk than BEV (HR: 0.25; 95% CI: 0.08-0.76, p = 0.015).
Conclusions: SEV appears to be more suitable for long-term valve durability in patients with a small aortic annulus.
期刊介绍:
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions is an international journal covering the broad field of cardiovascular diseases. Subject material includes basic and clinical information that is derived from or related to invasive and interventional coronary or peripheral vascular techniques. The journal focuses on material that will be of immediate practical value to physicians providing patient care in the clinical laboratory setting. To accomplish this, the journal publishes Preliminary Reports and Work In Progress articles that complement the traditional Original Studies, Case Reports, and Comprehensive Reviews. Perspective and insight concerning controversial subjects and evolving technologies are provided regularly through Editorial Commentaries furnished by members of the Editorial Board and other experts. Articles are subject to double-blind peer review and complete editorial evaluation prior to any decision regarding acceptability.
