Abstract
Background
Management of degenerated aortic bioprostheses through valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV-TAVR) or redo surgical aortic valve replacement (Re-SAVR) shows similar short-term safety and efficacy. However, long-term survival and haemodynamic performance data are limited.
Aim
To compare clinical characteristics, haemodynamics and outcomes at 3 years between ViV-TAVR and Re-SAVR techniques.
Methods
This retrospective two-centre study included 266 patients treated for isolated aortic bioprosthesis degeneration (130 Re-SAVR, 136ViV-TAVR) from 2009 to 2018, with up to 3 years of follow-up.
Results
The ViV-TAVR group was older (83 vs. 77 years; P = 0.005) with higher surgical risk (Logistic EuroSCORE 22% vs. 13%; P = 0.005). At 3 years, univariate analysis showed no significant difference in all-cause deaths (22.1% vs. 17.7%; P = 0.37). ViV-TAVR was associated with fewer first-month complications, including major bleeding (11.0% vs. 52.3%; P = 0.007) and acute renal failure grade 2/3 (5.1% vs. 14.6%; P = 0.053). Inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis revealed no difference in all-cause deaths at 1 year (hazard ratio [HR] 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36–1.67; P = 0.52) or between 1 and 3 years (HR 1.56, 95% CI 0.82–2.99; P = 0.17). Composite events were similar at 1 year (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.44–1.44; P = 0.45) and between 1 and 3 years (HR 1.41, 95% CI 0.83–2.38; P = 0.21). Mean gradients at 3 years were similar (16.1 ± 11.4 vs. 13.2 ± 5.3 mmHg; P = 0.17). In patients with small bioprostheses (true internal diameter ≤ 20 mm [n = 151]), death rates at 3 years were similar (21.1% vs. 20.0%; P = 0.86), as was haemodynamic performance (mean gradient 19.2 ± 14.0 mmHg for ViV-TAVR vs. 13.7 ± 4.12 mmHg for Re-SAVR [P = 0.38]). Compared to balloon-expandable, self-expandable valves showed better 1-year mean gradients (16.4 ± 10.5 vs. 13.7 ± 4.12 mmHg; P = 0.012).
Conclusions
ViV-TAVR and Re-SAVR had similar mortality and haemodynamic outcomes at 3 years, including in patients with small bioprostheses where self-expandable valves yielded the best results.
