Resumo

The use of valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) is increasing, but studies evaluating clinical outcomes in these patients are scarce. Also, there are limited data to guide the choice of valve type in ViV-TAVI. Therefore, this CENTER-study evaluated clinical outcomes in patients with ViV-TAVI compared to patients with native valve TAVI (NV-TAVI). In addition, we compared outcomes in patients with ViV-TAVI treated with self-expandable versus balloon-expandable valves. A total of 256 patients with ViV-TAVI and 11333 patients with NV-TAVI were matched 1:2 using propensity score matching, resulting in 256 patients with ViV-TAVI and 512 patients with NV-TAVI. Mean age was 81±7 years, 58% were female, and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality was 6.3% (4.0% to 12.8%). Mortality rates were comparable between ViV-TAVI and NV-TAVI patients at 30 days (4.1% vs 5.9%, p = 0.30) and 1 year (14.2% vs 17.3%, p = 0.34). Stroke rates were also similar at 30 days (2.8% vs 1.8%, p = 0.38) and 1 year (4.9% vs 4.3%, p = 0.74). Permanent pacemakers were less frequently implanted in patients with ViV-TAVI (8.8% vs 15.0%, relative risk 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.37 to 0.92, p = 0.02). Patients with ViV-TAVI were treated with self-expandable valves (n = 162) and balloon-expandable valves (n = 94). Thirty-day major bleeding was less frequent in patients with self-expandable valves (3% vs 13%, odds ratio 5.12, 95% CI 1.42 to 18.52, p = 0.01). Thirty-day mortality was numerically lower in patients with self-expandable valves (3% vs 7%, odds ratio 3.35, 95% CI 0.77 to 14.51, p = 0.11). In conclusion, ViV-TAVI seems a safe and effective treatment for failing bioprosthetic valves with low mortality and stroke rates comparable to NV-TAVI for both valve types.

All patients provided written informed consent. Ethical approval was given by the ethics committee of each center. Supplementary Table S1 lists the number of included patients with ViV-TAVI per original study.The main clinical end points of this study were all cause mortality and stroke at 30 days and 1 year after ViV-TAVI compared with patients with NV-TAVI. Secondary end points were periprocedural, in-hospital, and 30-day clinical outcomes as defined by VARC-2.21Kappetein AP Head SJ Généreux P Piazza N Van Mieghem NM Blackstone EH Brott TG Cohen DJ Cutlip DE Van Es GA Hahn RT Kirtane AJ Krucoff MW Kodali S Mack MJ Mehran R Rodés-Cabau J Vranckx P Webb JG Windecker S Serruys PW Leon MB Valve Academic Research Consortium-2. Updated standardized endpoint definitions for transcatheter aortic valve implantation: the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 consensus document.EuroIntervention. 2012; 8: 782-795Crossref PubMed Scopus (165) Google Scholar Periprocedural outcomes included conversion to surgery and device success. Device success was defined by VARC-221 as "the absence of procedural mortality and correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location and intended performance of the prosthetic heart valve (no prosthesis patient mismatch and mean aortic valve gradient <20 mm Hg or peak velocity <3 m/s, and no moderate or severe prosthetic valve regurgitation)". In-hospital and 30-day outcomes included major bleeding, myocardial infarction, new-onset atrial fibrillation, and implantation of a permanent pacemaker.Missing data in baseline medical history were estimated using multiple imputation methods. The imputation procedure and multivariate regression models were performed under the assumption that missing data were missing at random. Baseline continuous variables were tested for normal distribution and reported as mean with standard deviation or median with interquartile range (IQR, 25th to 75th percentile). Baseline differences between patients with ViV-TAVI and NV-TAVI were evaluated using the independent t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Baseline categorical variables were presented as frequencies and percentages, and differences between groups were tested using chi-square test. Renal function was measured as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Renal failure was defined as eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73 m2. Propensity score matching methodology was applied to reduce treatment selection bias and potential confounding. We calculated the propensity score with logistic regression. Predictors for either treatment (ViV-TAVI or NV-TAVI) or clinical outcomes (30-day mortality and stroke) were included in the logistic regression model. Accordingly, the propensity score included 18 variables: age, gender, body mass index, history of myocardial infarction, history of coronary artery bypass graft, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, history of cerebrovascular events, hypertension, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, history of peripheral vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, mean aortic valve gradient, Logistic EuroSCORE, year of procedure, valve generation, and valve type. Each ViV-TAVI patient was matched to 2 patients with NV-TAVI based on the nearest propensity score using the nearest neighbor method, ratio 1:2. and no replacement. Differences in clinical outcomes between ViV-TAVI and NV-TAVI were tested with chi-square test in the unmatched and the propensity-matched cohort. The corresponding asymptotic 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) of the relative risk (RR) was reported.In the ViV-TAVI patient group, we compared outcomes between SE and BE valve recipients. We assessed baseline characteristics in patients with ViV-TAVI treated with SE versus BE valves as described earlier. To adjust for potential confounding and selection bias, we corrected outcomes in SE versus BE valves using a multivariate logistic regression model. Baseline characteristics of patients with ViV-TAVI were tested in a univariate logistic regression model as predictors for valve design (SE or BE) or 30-day mortality. If p <0.10 in the univariate model, the variable was added to the multivariate model. Accordingly, the multivariate logistic regression model included age, body mass index, history of peripheral vascular disease, renal failure, hypertension, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, history of myocardial infarction, year of ViV-TAVI procedure, and Logistic EuroSCORE. Both adjusted and unadjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% CI were reported for clinical outcomes.21Kappetein AP Head SJ Généreux P Piazza N Van Mieghem NM Blackstone EH Brott TG Cohen DJ Cutlip DE Van Es GA Hahn RT Kirtane AJ Krucoff MW Kodali S Mack MJ Mehran R Rodés-Cabau J Vranckx P Webb JG Windecker S Serruys PW Leon MB Valve Academic Research Consortium-2.

Calculations were generated by SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0, (SPSS Inc,Chicago, Illinois).ResultsA total of 11,589 patients underwent transfemoral TAVI. Mean age was 81±7 years, 6,707 (58%) were women and median Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) score was 6.3% (IQR 4.0% to 12.8%). A total of 256 patients (2.2%) underwent ViV-TAVI, and 11,333 (97.8%) underwent NV-TAVI. Previously implanted bioprosthetic valves were mainly done by SAVR (n = 254), whereas 2 patients underwent TAVI. Patients receiving ViV-TAVI were younger and more often men compared with NV-TAVI patients. Supplementary Table S2 lists an overview of baseline characteristics.Patients treated with ViV-TAVI and NV-TAVI showed comparable unadjusted 30-day mortality and stroke rates. Also, 1-year mortality and stroke rates were similar. Device success was achieved in 90.5% of patients with ViV-TAVI versus 95.4% in NV-TAVI. In the ViV-TAVI group, device failure was associated with higher STS-PROM score (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0 to 1.1, p = 0.02), renal failure (OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.7 to 13.3, p = 0.003) and the use of earlier generation valves (OR 6.2, 95% CI 2.0 to 19.0, p = 0.002). Predictors for 30-day mortality were also higher STS-PROM (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0 to 1.5, p = 0.01) and renal failure (OR 10.2, 95% CI 2.7 to 38.3, p<0.001).

Open table in a new tab Patients with ViV-TAVI and NV-TAVI were matched using propensity score methodology (ratio 1:2). Baseline characteristics of the matched population (ViV-TAVI n = 256 and NV-TAVI n = 512) are listed in Table 2. In the propensity-matched population, mortality and stroke rates were similar at 30 days and 1 year. Permanent pacemakers were less frequently implanted in patients with ViV-TAVI. In the ViV-TAVI group, there were numerically lower rates of device success and higher rates of myocardial infarction, but the threshold for statistical significance was not met. Myocardial infarction in patients with ViV-TAVI was because of coronary obstruction. One of these patients died during the procedure, whereas the other was discharged after 7 days and survived more than 2 years. Rates of major bleeding, conversion to open-heart surgery, and new-onset atrial fibrillation were comparable between patients with ViV-TAVI and NV-TAVI.

One-year follow-up data were available in 68% of patients with NV-TAVI and 80% of patients with ViV-TAVI.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT)In patients with ViV-TAVI , 162 (63%) were treated with SE valves and 94 (37%) with BE valves. Most baseline characteristics were comparable, as listed in Supplementary Table S3. However, a history of myocardial infarction and percutaneous coronary intervention was more frequently reported in patients with SE valves. Third-generation valves were used in 91 (56%) of SE valves and 40 (43%) of BE valves. An overview of clinical outcomes in patients with SE and BE ViV-TAVI is listed in Table 4. These outcomes were corrected for differences in baseline characteristics using multivariate logistic regression. Patients with SE valves had fewer instances of 30-day mortality than patients with BE valves. However, 1-year mortality rates and time-to-mortality curves (Figure 3) did not differ between patients receiving SE or BE valves. Major bleeding less frequently occurred in patients with SE valves. Patients with SE and BE ViV-TAVI showed comparable rates of device success, in-hospital mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, and permanent pacemaker implantation.Table 4Outcomes of patients with valve-in-valve TAVI treated with self-expandable versus balloon-expandable valvesSelf-Expandable ViV-TAVI (n=162)Balloon-Expandable ViV-TAVI (n=94)Unadjusted OR (95% CI)p ValueAdjusted OR (95% CI)P ValuePeriprocedural outcomes Conversion to surgery1 (1%)0-0.99-0.99 Device success*According to the second valve academic research consortium definitions.
