This analysis included patients who underwent PCI within ±90 days of the index TAVR procedure. All-cause mortality, stroke, and a composite of mortality and stroke were analyzed up to 3 years using Medicare Linkage.RESULTSOf the 51,480 patients who underwent PCI and TAVR with SAPIEN 3 platforms during the study period, 84.7% had PCI within 90 days before TAVR, 13.9% had concomitant PCI, and 1.4% had PCI within 90 days after TAVR. In the propensity-matched analysis, patients undergoing PCI before TAVR had better outcomes in terms of all cause-mortality (38.1% vs 38.8%; P = 0.013) and a composite of mortality and stroke (42.8% vs 43.5%; P = 0.012) compared with the ones undergoing concomitant PCI at 3-year follow-up. Major vascular complications were higher in patients undergoing concomitant PCI and TAVR (2% vs 1.4%; P = 0.003) CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing concomitant PCI and TAVR had higher major vascular complications, and slightly higher composite of all-cause mortality and stroke compared with those who underwent PCI within 90 days before the TAVR procedure.","PeriodicalId":14666,"journal":{"name":"JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions","volume":"36 1","pages":"244-254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143062007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has given rise to discussion on the necessity of surgical backup during TAVR. Therefore, recent studies in contemporary TAVR patients are warranted.OBJECTIVESThis study aimed to assess the incidence, trends, and clinical outcomes of surgical bailout in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR.METHODSThe CENTER2 (Cerebrovascular Events in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation With Balloon-Expandable Valves Versus Self-Expandable Valves 2) study contains patient-level data from 10 clinical studies with patients undergoing TAVR between 2007 and 2022.RESULTSA total of 24,010 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR were included. The mean age was 81.5 ± 6.7 years, and 56% were female. The median Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality declined over time (2007-2014: 7.1% [Q1-Q3: 4.3%-14.8%] vs 2015-2022: 3.9% [Q1-Q3: 2.6%-6.0%]; P < 0.001). Surgical bailout was reported in 125 (0.52%) patients, and its incidence decreased over time, from 0.84% in 2007 to 2010 to 0.25% in 2019 to 2022 (Ptrend < 0.001). Surgical bailout was more frequently observed in women compared with men (0.61% vs 0.41%; P = 0.03). Ventricular perforation was the most prevalent reason for surgical bailout (28.0%). Patients who underwent surgical bailout reported higher mortality rates during the 1-year follow-up compared with patients without surgical bailout (68.3% vs 15.3%; HR: 8.60; 95% CI: 6.74-10.97; P < 0.001). Interestingly, patients surviving the first 90 days reported a similar mortality risk (HR: 2.19; 95% CI: 0.91-5.27; P = 0.08).CONCLUSIONSThe incidence of surgical bailout is very low in the contemporary TAVR population. Mortality rates remain high among patients requiring surgical bailout during transfemoral TAVR, but this risk diminishes in patients surviving the postprocedural period.

Design elements of the JenaValve Trilogy (JVT) transcatheter heart valve (THV) ensure both.OBJECTIVESThis study sought to evaluate the outcome of patients with aortic stenosis (AS) treated with this novel transfemoral, self-expanding THV.METHODSWe included 43 consecutive patients with severe AS treated with the JVT system at 5 German sites. The primary endpoint of the study was technical success of the procedure. Procedural outcomes, hemodynamic valve performance, and clinical outcomes at 30 days were evaluated according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 criteria.RESULTSThe median age was 81 years (Q1-Q3: 77.0-83.9 years) with a median Society of Thoracic Surgeons Risk Score of 3.1% (Q1-Q3: 2.1%-5.9%). Technical success was achieved in 98% (n = 42 of 43). One patient was converted to open surgery. The median aortic gradient was 5.0 mm Hg (Q1-Q3: 4.0-7.0 mm Hg), and no patient had moderate or greater paravalvular regurgitation (88% [n = 37 of 42] with none or trace paravalvular regurgitation). At 30 days, major vascular complications and stroke each occurred in 1 (2.3%) patient, 2 (4.7%) patients had died, and permanent pacemaker implantation was needed in 4.9% (n = 2 of 41). Overall, early safety at 30 days was achieved in 82% (n = 27 of 33) of patients.CONCLUSIONSTreatment of AS patients with this novel transfemoral THV system is safe and effective.
