Wait time impact on prognosis for patients awaiting an aortic valve replacement
Introduction and objectives
The only effective treatment for severe aortic stenosis (AS) is aortic valve replacement (AVR). The intervention should happen as soon as possible to lower the risk of heart failure and death. We aimed to assess the time between referral to the surgery center and performing the AVR for a sample of patients with severe AS diagnosis, as well as the impact it may have on hospitalization and mortality.
Methods
This was a retrospective study including 241 patients with severe AS submitted to AVR at the surgery center between January 2018 and December 2021, or patients that died during that period.
Results
In a total of 174 ambulatory patients who underwent AVR, 82.2% had surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and 17.8% transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The median wait time for SAVR and TAVI was 226 and 426 days, respectively. From a total of 56 hospitalized patients who underwent AVR, 89.3% had SAVR and 10.7% TAVI. The mean wait time for SAVR and TAVI was 9 and 15 days, respectively. While waiting for intervention, 13% of patients were hospitalized and 6% died.
Conclusions
The wait times for AVR found in our study are substantially longer than recommended for outpatient regimen. Extended wait times are linked to an increasing incidence of adverse events.
期刊介绍:
The Portuguese Journal of Cardiology, the official journal of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, was founded in 1982 with the aim of keeping Portuguese cardiologists informed through the publication of scientific articles on areas such as arrhythmology and electrophysiology, cardiovascular surgery, intensive care, coronary artery disease, cardiovascular imaging, hypertension, heart failure and cardiovascular prevention. The Journal is a monthly publication with high standards of quality in terms of scientific content and production. Since 1999 it has been published in English as well as Portuguese, which has widened its readership abroad. It is distributed to all members of the Portuguese Societies of Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Pneumology and Cardiothoracic Surgery, as well as to leading non-Portuguese cardiologists and to virtually all cardiology societies worldwide. It has been referred in Medline since 1987.
