Originally published5 Jul 2019https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.119.007973Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions. 2019;12:e007973Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe native aortic valve stenosis (native-TAVR) and valve-in-valve TAVR by balloon-expanding and self-expanding platforms is available.1,2 Studies report post-TAVR mean gradients (MG) obtained by aortic valve continuous wave Doppler on echocardiography (echocardiography MG,4V22), without adjusting for noninvasive mean pressure recovery (PRmean) or left ventricular outflow tract MG (LVOT MG,4V12), or invasive MG (catheterization MG) comparison.1,2Catheterization/echocardiography MG discrepancies exist in aortic valve stenosis due to PR3 and inherent Bernoulli-equation limitations.4 Equations adjusting for these differences are described.3,4 We hypothesized that echocardiography will overestimate post-TAVR MG compared with catheterization.Institutional Review Board approved the study; authors elect not to make data publicly available.We retrospectively compared consecutive post-TAVR catheterization and echocardiography MG obtained almost simultaneously (September 2015–September 2018) and studied the impact of LVOT MG and PRmean.Post-TAVR, a pigtail catheter was reintroduced in the left ventricle for left ventricular pressure. A second transducer was connected to the side-arm of the balloon-expanding TAVR sheath, or the long sheath after removing the self-expanding TAVR valve, for aortic pressure with the sheath-tip positioned in the distal descending aorta to obtain catheterization MG. Echocardiography was performed within 1 to 2 minutes following catheterization measurement.Ascending aorta (AA) diameter was measured from baseline echocardiography to derive:AA area=(AA diameter/2)2 × πPRmean=echocardiography MG×2×AA area/effective orifice area×(1−AA area/effective orifice area).3Definitions AND RESULTSEchocardiography MG: aortic valve continuous wave Doppler tracingEchocardiography MG PR: echocardiography MG−PRmeanEchocardiography MG PROX: echocardiography MG−LVOT MGEchocardiography MG PR/PROX: echocardiography MG−PRmean−LVOT MGEchocardiography and catheterization MGs were presented as mean±SD, median, and range based on their respective distribution. Using IBM SPSS Statistical Software Package Version 25, Mann-Whitney U (nonparametric) compared catheterization MG with echocardiography MG, echocardiography MG PROX, echocardiography MG PR, and echocardiography MG PR/PROX, as catheterization MG did not fit normal distribution. Differences and agreement between catheterization and echocardiography MG and echocardiography MG PR/PROX were represented through Bland-Altman by plotting the difference of the 2 measurements against their means. For all tests, a 2-sided P value of 10 mm Hg discordance (left to right).ECHO MG PR=ECHO MG−PRmean, ECHO MG PROX=ECHO MG−LVOT MG, and ECHO MG PR/PROX=ECHO MG−PRmean−LVOT MG.NativeCatheterization/echocardiography discordance existed in all (median 0, range 0–14 mm Hg versus median 5, range 1–30 mm Hg; P<0.000001), with progressive improved discordance between catheterization MG and echocardiography MG, echocardiography MG PROX, echocardiography MG PR, and echocardiography MG PR/PROX. Catheterization MG and echocardiography MG PR/PROX remained statistically, albeit less clinically different (median 0 versus 0.95 mm Hg, P<0.0001, Z=−10.3). Bland-Altman confirmed poor comparisons of catheterization MG versus echocardiography MG (mean 5.2±3.4; 95% CI, 4.8–5.6; P<0.0001) that improved versus echocardiography MG PR/PROX (mean 1.1±2.8; 95% CI, 0.7–1.4; P<0.0001). Catheterization/echocardiography MG discordance was ≥5 mm Hg in 151 out of 259 (58%) and ≥10 mm Hg in 24 out of 259 (9%). Catheterization/echocardiography MG PR/PROX discordance improved to 19 out of 259 (7%) ≥5 mm Hg and none ≥10 mm Hg.Valve-in-ValveCatheterization/echocardiography discordance existed in all (median 0.5 versus 9.5 mm Hg; P<0.000001) with progressive improved discordance between catheterization MG and echocardiography MG, echocardiography MG PROX, echocardiography MG PR, and echocardiography MG PR/PROX. Catheterization MG and echocardiography MG PR/PROX remained statistically and clinically different (median 0.5 versus 5 mm Hg; P<0.007; Z=−2.7). Bland-Altman confirmed poor comparisons of catheterization MG versus echocardiography MG (mean 6.5± 6.3; 95% CI, 4.4–8.6; P<0.0001) that improved versus echocardiography MG PR/PROX (mean 2±6.3; 95% CI −0.13 to 4.2; P<0.0001). Catheterization/echocardiography MG discordance was ≥5 mm Hg in 24 out of 36 (67%) and ≥10 mm Hg in 9 out of 36 (25%). Catheterization/echocardiography MG PR/PROX discordance improved to 11 out of 36 (31%) ≥5 mm Hg and 3 out of 36 (8%) ≥10 mm Hg.This study demonstrates (1) post-TAVR, echocardiography MG is significantly higher than catheterization MG. (2) After accounting for LVOT MG and PRmean, echocardiography MG and catheterization MG remain statistically, albeit not clinically different post–native-TAVR, whereas post–valve-in-valve TAVR, they remain statistically and clinically different.Discordance occurs secondary to PR3 or inherent simplified Bernoulli-equation limitations.4 PR occurs beyond the aortic valve due to recovery of a portion of lost pressure as flow decelerates when turbulent vortices rejoin central laminar flow and is only accounted for by catheterization MG.Bernoulli-equation assumes laminar flow and no PR and omits:Flow acceleration, which is not negligible with pulsatility or normal TAVR valves.Viscous losses.LVOT MGPost-TAVR, catheterization MG is required, especially post–valve-in-valve and elevated echocardiography MG requires further study while accounting for LVOT MG and PRmean. Elevated echocardiography MG not confirmed on catheterization, questions the true percentage of prosthesis-patient mismatch5 because PR and Bernoulli limitations may be the culprit.This is a single center study with known inherent limitations. However, careful attention to the fidelity of measurements under similar hemodynamic conditions was conducted. Patients were supine, and echocardiography MG may be underestimated, thus echocardiography-catheterization discordance may be higher.Echocardiography remains important in extended follow-up of post-TAVR MG and aortic regurgitation because repeat catheterization is impractical.DisclosuresDr Abbas has received research grants and honoraria from Edwards Life Sciences, and Dr Pibarot received grants and honoraria from Medtronic and Edwards Life Sciences.
