Paradoxical clinical outcomes of severe versus very severe aortic valve stenosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation? a propensity score matched analysis and review of literature
Background
Very severe aortic stenosis (VSAS) is a critical condition with unfavourable clinical outcomes if left untreated or treated by surgical valve replacement. In contrast, after transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI) outcomes seem to be similar or – paradoxically – even better compared to severe aortic stenosis (SAS), as indicated by previous studies.
Methods
Data of patients from a single centre who underwent TAVI were retrospectively analysed. Patients with concordant AS (n = 475) were divided into SAS (n = 379) and VSAS (n = 96) groups. These groups are compared in terms of procedural (safety) and long-term (efficacy) outcomes, using propensity score matching. In addition, a review of relevant literature is provided.
Results
After propensity score matching, 96 patients remained in each group. Procedural outcomes did not differ significantly between VSAS and SAS groups. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed a favourable trend toward lower overall mortality within a mean follow-up of 42 months after TAVI in the VSAS group (hazard ratio, HR, 0.668; 95 % confidence interval, CI, 0.430–1.038). This difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.073), however, it was significant in the subgroups of females (p = 0.045) and patients with NYHA class III (p = 0.043).
Conclusion
Our analysis confirms – in line with previous studies – that patients with VSAS represent a substantial subgroup and have at least as favourable or – paradoxically −even better clinical results after TAVI compared to patients with SAS. Therefore, TAVI should not be withheld from these patients.
期刊介绍:
IJC Heart & Vasculature is an online-only, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original articles and reviews (also Editorials and Letters to the Editor) which report on structural and functional cardiovascular pathology, with an emphasis on imaging and disease pathophysiology. Articles must be authentic, educational, clinically relevant, and original in their content and scientific approach. IJC Heart & Vasculature requires the highest standards of scientific integrity in order to promote reliable, reproducible and verifiable research findings. All authors are advised to consult the Principles of Ethical Publishing in the International Journal of Cardiology before submitting a manuscript. Submission of a manuscript to this journal gives the publisher the right to publish that paper if it is accepted. Manuscripts may be edited to improve clarity and expression.
