    Comparison of the hemodynamic performance of percutaneous and surgical bioprostheses for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis
    (Elsevier Biomedical, 2009-05-19) Bertrand, Olivier; Webb, John G. (John Graydon); Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Bergeron, Sébastien; Altwegg, Lukas; Pibarot, Philippe; Dumont, Éric; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Thompson, Chris; De Larochellière, Robert; Doyle, Daniel; Masson, Jean-Bernard
    Objectives : This study was undertaken to compare the hemodynamic performance of a percutaneous bioprosthesis to that of surgically implanted (stented and stentless) bioprostheses for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. Methods : Fifty patients who underwent percutaneous aortic valve implantation (PAVI) with the Cribier-Edwards or Edwards SAPIEN bioprosthetic valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Inc., Irvine, California) were matched 1:1 for sex, aortic annulus diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction, body surface area, and body mass index, with 2 groups of 50 patients who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with a stented valve (Edwards Perimount Magna [SAVR-ST group]), or a stentless valve (Medtronic Freestyle, Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota [SAVR-SL group]). Doppler echocardiographic data were prospectively obtained before the intervention, at discharge, and at 6- to 12-month follow-up. Results : Mean transprosthetic gradient at discharge was lower (p < 0.001) in the PAVI group (10 ± 4 mm Hg) compared with the SAVR-ST (13 ± 5 mm Hg) and SAVR-SL (14 ± 6 mm Hg) groups. Aortic regurgitation (AR) occurred more frequently in the PAVI group (mild: 42%, moderate: 8%) compared with the SAVR-ST (mild: 10%, moderate: 0%) and SAVR-SL (mild: 12%, moderate: 0%) groups (p < 0.0001). At follow-up, the mean gradient in the PAVI group remained lower (p < 0.001) than that of the SAVR-ST group, but was similar to that of the SAVR-SL group. The incidence of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch was significantly lower (p = 0.007) in the PAVI group (6%) compared with the SAVR-ST (28%) and SAVR-SL (20%) groups. However, the incidence of AR remained higher (p < 0.0001) in the PAVI group compared with the 2 other groups. Conclusions : PAVI provided superior hemodynamic performance compared with the surgical bioprostheses in terms of transprosthetic gradient and prevention of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch, but was associated with a higher incidence of AR.

    Incidence, predictive factors, and prognostic value of myocardial injury following uncomplicated transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
    (Elsevier Biomedical, 2011-05-17) Bertrand, Olivier; Gutiérrez, Marcos; Dumont, Éric; De Larochellière, Robert; Larose, Éric; Côté, Mélanie; Villeneuve, Jacques; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Bagur, Rodrigo Hernan; Doyle, Daniel; Manazzoni, Juan; Pibarot, Philippe
    OBJECTIVES: This study sought to: 1) determine the incidence, degree, and timing of the rise in serum cardiac markers of myocardial injury associated with uncomplicated transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI); and 2) evaluate the predictive factors and prognostic value of myocardial injury associated with TAVI. BACKGROUND: Very few data exist on the occurrence and clinical relevance of myocardial injury during TAVI procedures. METHODS: A total of 101 patients who underwent successful TAVI (transfemoral [TF] approach, n = 38; transapical [TA] approach, n = 63) were included. Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels were determined at baseline and at 6 to 12, 24, 48, and 72 h following TAVI. RESULTS: TAVI was associated with some degree of myocardial injury in 99% of the patients (TF: 97%, TA: 100%) as determined by a rise in cTnT (maximal value, 0.48 µg/l, interquartile range [IQR]: 0.24 to 0.82 µg/l) and in 77% of the patients (TF: 47%, TA: 95%) as determined by a rise in CK-MB (maximal value, 18.6 µg/l; IQR: 11.0 to 27.4 µg/l). TA approach and baseline renal dysfunction were associated with a higher increase in biomarkers of myocardial injury (p < 0.01 for both). A larger myocardial injury was associated with a smaller improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p < 0.01). The degree of rise in cTnT was an independent predictor of cardiac mortality at 9 ± 10 months of follow-up (hazard ratio: 1.14 per each increase of 0.1 µg/l, 95% confidence interval: 1.02 to 1.28, p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS: TAVI was systematically associated with some degree of myocardial injury, with TA approach and baseline renal dysfunction determining a higher increase in biomarkers of myocardial injury. A greater degree of myocardial injury was associated with less improvement in LVEF and a higher cardiac mortality at follow-up.

    Characteristics of trabeculated myocardium burden in young and apparently healthy adults
    (American College of Cardiology, 2014-07-18) Bertrand, Olivier; Paz Ricapito, Maria de la; Tizón-Marcos, Helena; Larose, Éric; Bibeau, Karine; Le Ven, Florent; Bédard, Élisabeth; Sinha, Swapnil; Pasian, Sergio; Engert, James; Pibarot, Philippe; Deschepper, Christian
    Increased myocardial trabeculations define noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC). Imaging advancements have led to increasingly common identification of prominent trabeculations with unknown implications. We quantified and determined the impact of trabeculations' burden on cardiac function and stretch in a population of healthy young adults. One hundred adults aged 18 to 35 years (28 ± 4 years, 55% women) without known cardiovascular disease were prospectively studied by cardiovascular magnetic resonance. Left ventricular (LV) volumes, segmental function, and ejection fraction (EF) and left atrial volumes were determined. Thickness and area of trabeculated (T) and dense (D) myocardium were measured for each standardized LV segment. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (Nt-pro-BNP) was measured. Eighteen percent of the subjects had ≥1 positive traditional criteria for NCC, and 11% meet new proposed NCC cardiovascular magnetic resonance criteria. Trabeculated over dense myocardium ratio (T/D) ratios were uniformly greater at end-diastole versus end-systole (0.90 ± 0.25 vs 0.42 ± 0.13, p <0.0001), in women versus men (0.85 ± 0.24 vs 0.72 ± 0.19, p = 0.006), at anterior versus nonanterior segments (1.41 ± 0.59 vs 0.88 ± 0.35, p <0.0001), and at apical versus nonapical segments (1.31 ± 0.56 vs 0.87 ± 0.38, p <0.0001). The largest T/D ratios were associated with lower LVEF (57.0 ± 5.3 vs 62 ± 5.5, p = 0.0001) and greater Nt-pro-BNP (203 ± 98 vs 155 ± 103, p = 0.04). Multivariable regression identified greater end-systolic T/D ratios as the strongest independent predictor of lower LVEF, beyond age and gender, left atrial or LV volumes, and Nt-pro-BNP (β = −9.9, 95% CI −15 to 4.9, p <0.001). In conclusion, healthy adults possess variable amounts of trabeculations that regularly meet criteria for NCC. Greater trabeculations are associated with decreased LV function. Apparently healthy young adults with increased trabecular burden possess evidence of mildly impaired cardiac function.

    Acute kidney injury following transcatheter aortic valve implantation : predictive factors, prognostic value, and comparison with surgical aortic valve replacement
    (European Society of Cardiology, 2009-12-27) Bertrand, Olivier; Webb, John G. (John Graydon); Dumont, Éric; Nietlispach, Fabian; De Larochellière, Robert; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Bagur, Rodrigo Hernan; Doyle, Daniel; Masson, Jean-Bernard; Pibarot, Philippe; Gutiérrez-Marcos, José; Clavel, Marie-Annick
    Aims: Very few data exist on the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The objectives of the present study were (i) to determine the incidence, predictive factors, and prognostic value of AKI following TAVI, and (ii) to compare the occurrence of AKI in TAVI vs. surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with pre-procedural chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods and results: A total of 213 patients (mean age 82 ± 8 years) undergoing TAVI for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis were included in the study. Acute kidney injury was defined as a reduction of >25% in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) within 48 h following the procedure or the need for haemodialysis during index hospitalization. Those patients with pre-procedural CKD (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, n = 119) were compared with 104 contemporary patients with CKD who underwent isolated SAVR. The incidence of AKI following TAVI was 11.7%, with 1.4% of the patients requiring haemodialysis. Predictive factors of AKI were hypertension (OR: 4.66; 95% CI: 1.04–20.87), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR: 2.64, 95% CI: 1.10–6.36), and peri-operative blood transfusion (OR: 3.47, 95% CI: 1.30–9.29). Twenty-one patients (9.8%) died during index hospitalization, and the logistic EuroSCORE (OR: 1.03 for each increase of 1%; 95% CI: 1.01–1.06) and occurrence of AKI (OR: 4.14, 95% CI: 1.42–12.13) were identified as independent predictors of postoperative mortality. Patients with CKD who underwent TAVI were older, had a higher logistic EuroSCORE and lower pre-procedural eGFR values compared with those who underwent SAVR (P < 0.0001 for all). The incidence of AKI was lower (P = 0.001; P = 0.014 after propensity score adjustment) in CKD patients who underwent TAVI (9.2%, need for haemodialysis: 2.5%) compared with those who underwent SAVR (25.9%, need for haemodialysis: 8.7%). Conclusion: Acute kidney injury occurred in 11.7% of the patients following TAVI and was associated with a greater than four-fold increase in the risk of postoperative mortality. Hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and blood transfusion were predictive factors of AKI. In those patients with pre-procedural CKD, TAVI was associated with a significant reduction of AKI compared with SAVR.

    Performance-based functional assessment of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation
    (Elsevier, 2011-04-01) Bertrand, Olivier; Dumont, Éric; De Larochellière, Robert; Villeneuve, Jacques; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Bagur, Rodrigo Hernan; Côté, Mélanie; Doyle, Daniel; Poirier, Paul; Pibarot, Philippe; Gutiérrez-Marcos, José; Clavel, Marie-Annick
    Background: Very few data exist on the functional evaluation of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aims of this prospective study were (1) to evaluate the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) as a measure of functional status pre-TAVI and post-TAVI, (2) to determine the clinical parameters associated with DASI changes after TAVI, and (3) to compare functional status as evaluated by DASI and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class with exercise capacity as evaluated by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in such patients. Methods: A total of 76 patients (80 ± 8 years old) who underwent successful TAVI were included. All patients completed the DASI self-questionnaire at baseline and at 6 months after TAVI, and 46 patients also performed a 6MWT. Results: The mean DASI increased from 10.3 ± 5.4 to 16.3 ± 8.3 at 6 months after TAVI (P < .0001). However, the DASI did not change or even decreased to some extent in 30% of patients after TAVI. Renal dysfunction as evaluated by the estimated glomerular filtration rate was identified as the independent predictor of DASI impairment after TAVI (OR 1.7 for each decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate of 10 mL/min/1.73 m(2), 95% CI 1.3-2.3, P = .005). The mean distance walked increased from 165.9 ± 77.6 to 211.8 ± 78.7 m (P = .0001) at follow-up. The DASI showed a good correlation with the distance walked at baseline (r = 0.55, P < .0001) and at follow-up (r = 0.66, P < .0001). The NYHA class improved to some degree in all but 5 patients; however, the NYHA class did not correlate with the results of DASI and the 6MWT. Conclusions: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was associated with a significant increase in functional status at 6-month follow-up as evaluated by the DASI, although no improvement was observed in about one third of patients. The presence of baseline renal dysfunction better determined this lack of improvement in functional status. The DASI, but not the NYHA class, correlated with distance walked in the 6MWT. These results suggest that the DASI might become a useful tool for evaluating both candidates for and the impact of TAVI procedures.

    Electrocardiographic changes and clinical outcomes after transapical aortic valve implantation
    (C. V. Mosby Co., 2009-08-01) Gutiérrez-Marcos, José; Bertrand, Olivier; Lemieux, Jérôme; Dumont, Éric; De Larochellière, Robert; Côté, Mélanie; Villeneuve, Jacques; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Bergeron, Sébastien; Bagur, Rodrigo Hernan; Doyle, Daniel; Poirier, Paul; Pibarot, Philippe; Clavel, Marie-Annick
    Background : Transapical aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis requires the insertion of a large catheter through the left ventricular apex. However, the electrocardiographic (ECG) changes associated with the incision and repair of the left ventricular apex and the potential damage to the conduction system caused by implanting a balloon-expandable valve in aortic position are not known. The objective of our study was to determine the incidence, type, and timing of ECG changes associated with TAVI. Methods : The standard 12-lead ECGs of 33 consecutive patients (mean age 81 ± 9 years, 13 men) diagnosed with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (valve area 0.62 ± 0.16 cm2) who underwent TAVI with an Edwards-SAPIEN valve were analyzed at baseline (within 24 hours before the procedure), immediately (within 6 hours) after the procedure, at hospital discharge, and at 1-month follow-up. Results : There were no procedural deaths, and 30-day mortality was 6%. The incidence of complete left ventricular branch block (LBBB) and left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) increased from 9% and 3% at baseline to 27% and 36% after the procedure, respectively (P < .03 for both). A lower (ventricular) position of the valve relative to the hinge point of the anterior mitral leaflet was associated with a higher incidence of new LBBB (35% vs 0%, P = .029); and a greater valve size–aortic annulus ratio, with the occurrence of new LAHB (1.20 ± 0.07 vs 1.14 ± 0.06, P = .021). At 1-month follow-up, the rate of LBBB and LAHB decreased to 13% and 10%, respectively (P = not significant compared with baseline). There were no cases of new atrioventricular block, and no patient needed pacemaker implantation. Transient (<48 hours) ST-elevation changes, mostly in the anterior and/or lateral leads, occurred in 6 patients (18%) immediately after the procedure; but only 1 of these patients presented new Q waves at 1-month follow-up. Conclusions : Transapical aortic valve implantation was associated with a significant but transient (<1 month) increase in LBBB and LAHB, with no patient requiring pacemaker implantation. These changes were partially related to both lower (more ventricular) valve positioning and greater valve oversizing. Transient (<48 hours) ST-segment elevation changes occurred in about one fifth of the patients after the procedure, but only a minority developed new Q waves in the ECG.

    Transient myocardial tissue and function changes during a marathon in less fit marathon runners
    (Elsevier, 2013-10-01) Bertrand, Olivier; Gaudreault, Valérie; Tizón-Marcos, Helena; Larose, Éric; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Gilbert, Philippe; Amyot, Marc; Poirier, Paul; Pibarot, Philippe; Després, Jean-Pierre
    Background : Although regular physical activity improves health, strenuous exercise might transiently increase cardiac risk. Training and fitness might provide protection. Methods : We prospectively studied 20 recreational marathon runners without known cardiovascular disease or symptoms: at peak training before, immediately after, and 3 months after a 42.2-km marathon. Changes in global/segmental myocardial function, edema, resting perfusion, and fibrosis were measured. Results : At peak training, runners exercised 8.1 ± 2.3 hours and 62 ± 18 km per week with mean maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) of 53.2 ± 8.3 mL/kg/min. In response to the marathon, global left ventricular and right ventricular ejection fraction decreased in half of the runners; these runners had poorer peak training distance, training time, and fitness level. Change in global left ventricular ejection fraction was associated with VO2max. Overall, 36% of segments developed edema, 53% decreased function, and 59% decreased perfusion. Significant agreement was observed between segment decreasing function, decreasing perfusion, and developing edema. Myocardial changes were reversible at 3 months. Conclusions : Completing a marathon leads to localized myocardial edema, diminished perfusion, and decreased function occurring more extensively in less trained and fit runners. Although reversible, these changes might contribute to the transient increase in cardiac risk reported during sustained vigorous exercise.

    Exercise capacity in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis before and six months after transcatheter aortic valve implantation
    (Elsevier, 2011-07-15) Bertrand, Olivier; Dumont, Éric; De Larochellière, Robert; Côté, Mélanie; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Bagur, Rodrigo Hernan; Doyle, Daniel; Poirier, Paul; Pibarot, Philippe
    Few data exist on the use of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) to measure the exercise capacity of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis considered at very high surgical risk. The objectives of the present prospective study were (1) to determine the feasibility and safety of the 6MWT as a measure of exercise capacity before and after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and (2) to determine the clinical and hemodynamic parameters associated with the exercise capacity changes in such patients. A total of 64 patients (age 80 ± 8 years, logistic European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation score 21 ± 15%, Society of Thoracic Surgeons' score 7.5 ± 3.9%) who had undergone successful TAVI were included. The 6MWT was performed within the month before TAVI and at the 6-month follow-up visit. The mean distance walked increased from 165.3 ± 79.7 to 231.7 ± 88.9 m (p <0.0001); however, up to 25% of the patients did not improve or even decreased their exercise capacity. After adjustment for the baseline distance walked, multilinear regression analysis showed that a greater degree of renal dysfunction, as evaluated by the serum creatinine levels (r(2) = 0.05, p = 0.03), lower postprocedural hemoglobin values (r(2) = 0.13, p = 0.0012), and a longer hospitalization length (r(2) = 0.08, p = 0.007) were associated with lower improvement in exercise capacity. In conclusion, exercise capacity, as evaluated by the 6MWT, was very poor in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis considered at very high surgical risk. TAVI was associated with a significant increase in exercise capacity, although no improvement was observed in 1/4 of the patients. A greater degree in renal dysfunction, lower postprocedural hemoglobin values, and longer hospitalization stay were predictors of lower improvement in exercise capacity after TAVI. These results suggest that the 6MWT might become an important tool as a part of the evaluation process for TAVI candidates.

    Abdominal obesity and the metabolic syndrome: contribution to global cardiometabolic risk
    (American Heart Association, 2008-06-01) Bertrand, Olivier; Larose, Éric; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Poirier, Paul; Pibarot, Philippe; Després, Jean-Pierre; Mathieu, Patrick; Lemieux, Isabelle.; Bergeron, Jean
    There is currently substantial confusion between the conceptual definition of the metabolic syndrome and the clinical screening parameters and cut-off values proposed by various organizations (NCEP-ATP III, IDF, WHO, etc) to identify individuals with the metabolic syndrome. Although it is clear that in vivo insulin resistance is a key abnormality associated with an atherogenic, prothrombotic, and inflammatory profile which has been named by some the "metabolic syndrome" or by others "syndrome X" or "insulin resistance syndrome", it is more and more recognized that the most prevalent form of this constellation of metabolic abnormalities linked to insulin resistance is found in patients with abdominal obesity, especially with an excess of intra-abdominal or visceral adipose tissue. We have previously proposed that visceral obesity may represent a clinical intermediate phenotype reflecting the relative inability of subcutaneous adipose tissue to act as a protective metabolic sink for the clearance and storage of the extra energy derived from dietary triglycerides, leading to ectopic fat deposition in visceral adipose depots, skeletal muscle, liver, heart, etc. Thus, visceral obesity may partly be a marker of a dysmetabolic state and partly a cause of the metabolic syndrome. Although waist circumference is a better marker of abdominal fat accumulation than the body mass index, an elevated waistline alone is not sufficient to diagnose visceral obesity and we have proposed that an elevated fasting triglyceride concentration could represent, when waist circumference is increased, a simple clinical marker of excess visceral/ectopic fat. Finally, a clinical diagnosis of visceral obesity, insulin resistance, or of the metabolic syndrome is not sufficient to assess global risk of cardiovascular disease. To achieve this goal, physicians should first pay attention to the classical risk factors while also considering the additional risk resulting from the presence of abdominal obesity and the metabolic syndrome, such global risk being defined as cardiometabolic risk.
