Abstract
Background: Hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) detected on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is considered leaflet thrombosis. However, its impact on long-term clinical outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of early HALT detection after TAVI on long-term clinical outcomes and structural valve deterioration beyond 6 years.
Methods: Of the 672 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI between 2013 and 2018, 448 were treated with either SAPIEN XT or SAPIEN 3 and underwent MDCT analysis within 30 days after TAVI. MDCT results and echocardiographic data were analyzed annually.
Results: HALT was detected in 68 (15.2%) of 448 eligible patients within 30 days after TAVI. No significant difference in effective orifice area was observed by echocardiography within 30 days after TAVI between the HALT and the non-HALT groups in SAPIEN XT (HALT vs. non-HALT: 1.62 ± 0.66 cm2 vs. 1.72 ± 0.43 cm2; p = 0.26) and in SAPIEN 3 (1.42 ± 0.35 cm2 vs. 1.45 ± 0.34 cm2; p = 0.63). No significant differences in all-cause mortality (52.9% vs. 60.0%; hazard ratio (HR): 1.19; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.83-1.70; p = 0.3), stroke incidence (5.9% vs. 7.1%; HR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.08-13.7; p = 0.97), heart failure rehospitalization (10.3% vs. 15.0%; HR: 2.3; 95% CI: 0.89-5.99; p = 0.09), and structural valve deterioration (14.7% vs. 17.9%; HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.45-1.73; p = 0.73) were observed between the HALT and the non-HALT groups during the median follow-up of 1872 (interquartile range; 1203-2468) days.
Conclusions: HALT within 30 days was not associated with clinical outcomes or hemodynamic performance during long-term follow-up.
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.
