    Mitral regurgitation in low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis patients undergoing TAVR : insights from the TOPAS-TAVI registry
    (Elsevier, 2020-02-12) Freitas Ferraz, Afonso; Dahou, Abdellaziz; Lerakis, Stamatios A.; Nombela-Franco, Luis; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Gilard, Martine; Le Ven, Florent; Cavalcante, João L.; Amat Santos, Ignacio J.; Makkar, Rajendra; Annabi, Mohamed Salah; Herrmann, Howard C.; Pelletier Beaumont, Émilie; Windecker, Stephan; Pibarot, Philippe; Enriquez-Sarano, Maurice; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Cheema, Asim; Ribeiro, Henrique B.; Muñoz, Antonio; García del Blanco, Bruno; Zajarias, Alan; Lisko, John C.; Hayek, Salim; Babaliaros, Vasilis; Gleason, Thomas G.; Chakravarty, Tarun; Szeto, Wilson Y.; Agustin, Alberto de; Serra, Vicenç; Schindler, John Thomas
    Objectives : This study sought to determine the incidence, clinical impact, and changes over time of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Background : Few data exist on the clinical impact and changes in severity over time of MR in patients with LFLG-AS undergoing TAVR. Methods : A total of 308 TAVR candidates with LFLG-AS were included. Patients were categorized according to MR severity at baseline, and presence of MR improvement at 12-month follow-up. Clinical outcomes were assessed at 1 and 12 months (+ echocardiography), and yearly thereafter. Results : Baseline mild and moderate-to-severe MR were present in 118 (38.3%) and 115 (37.3%) patients, respectively. MR was of functional and mixed etiology in 77.2% and 22.7% of patients, respectively. A total of 131 patients (42.5%) died after a median follow-up of 2 (1 to 3) years. Baseline moderate-or-greater MR had no impact on mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.72 to 2.48) or heart failure hospitalization (HR: 1.02; 95% CI: 0.49 to 2.10). At 1-year follow-up, MR improved in 44.3% of patients and remained unchanged/worsened in 55.7%. The lack of MR improvement was associated with a higher risk of all-cause and cardiac mortality (HR: 2.02; 95% CI: 1.29 to 3.17; HR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.27 to 7.23, respectively), rehospitalization for cardiac causes (HR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.15), and an increased overall-mortality/heart failure rehospitalization (HR: 1.94; 95% CI: 1.25 to 3.02). A higher baseline left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and a higher increase in left ventricular ejection fraction were found to be independent predictors of MR improvement at 1-year follow-up (odds ratio: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.51 to 0.94; and odds ratio: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.67 to 0.96, respectively). Conclusions : Most TAVR candidates with LFLG-AS had some degree of MR, of functional origin in most cases. MR improved in about one-half of patients, with larger left ventricular size and a higher increase in left ventricular ejection fraction post-TAVR determining MR improvement over time. The lack of MR improvement at 1 year was associated with poorer outcomes.

    B-Type natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin for risk stratification in low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis a substudy of the TOPAS study
    (American College of Cardiology Foundation, 2017-10-05) Dahou, Abdellaziz; O'Connor, Kim; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Le Ven, Florent; Côté, Nancy; Capoulade, Romain; Pibarot, Philippe; Dumesnil, Jean G.; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Ribeiro, Henrique B.; Mathieu, Patrick
    OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic value of combined measures of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hsTnT) in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LF-LG AS) who had either a preserved or reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). BACKGROUND: An elevated BNP level is associated with increased risk of mortality in patients with LF-LG AS. The incremental prognostic value of hsTnT in these patients is unknown. METHODS: Ninety-eight patients (74 10 years; 75% men) with LF-LG AS (LVEF <50% and/or stroke volume index <35 ml/m2 , mean gradient <40 mm Hg, indexed aortic valve area <0.6 cm2 /m2 ) who were prospectively enrolled in the TOPAS (Truly or Pseudo-Severe Aortic Stenosis) study were included. The cohort was divided into 3 groups according to BNP and hsTnT levels: group A: BNP <550 pg/ml and hsTnT <15 ng/l; group B: BNP $550 pg/ml or hsTnT $15 ng/l; and group C: BNP $550 pg/ml and hsTnT $15 ng/l. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients (27%) were in group A, 39 (40%) were in group B, and 32 (33%) were in group C. During a median follow-up of 2.8 years, 43 patients died. Two-year mortality was higher in group C (41 9%) than in group B (23 7%) and group A (5 4%) (p ¼ 0.002). In group B, there was no significant difference in 2-year mortality rates between the subgroup with hsTnT $15 ng/l (n ¼ 29) and the subgroup with BNP $550 pg/ml (n ¼ 10) (26 9% vs. 11 10%, respectively; p ¼ 0.21). In multivariable analysis adjusted for age, type of treatment (aortic valve replacement vs. conservative therapy), coronary artery disease, and LVEF, being in group C remained independently associated with an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.25; p ¼ 0.023), and group B tended to have higher mortality (HR: 3.63; p ¼ 0.058) compared with group A. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the usefulness of combined measures of BNP and hsTnT to enhance risk stratification in patients with LF-LG AS. Patients with elevation of both BNP and hsTnT had a markedly increased risk of mortality. (Multicenter Prospective Study of Low-Flow Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis [TOPAS]; NCT01835028)

    Relationship between QT interval and outcome in low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis with low left ventricular ejection fraction
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2016-10-20) Dahou, Abdellaziz; Toubal, Oumhani; Larose, Éric; Magne, Julien; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Beaudoin, Jonathan; Philippon, François; Pibarot, Philippe; Dumesnil, Jean G.; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Puri, Rishi; Mathieu, Patrick; Ribeiro, Henrique B.
    Background QT interval has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular events. There is no data regarding the association between QT interval and left ventricular (LV) function and prognosis in patients with low LV ejection fraction (LVEF), low‐flow, low‐gradient aortic stenosis (LF‐LG AS). We aimed to examine the relationship between corrected QT interval (QTc) and LV function and outcome in these patients. Methods and Results Ninety‐three patients (73±10 years; 74% men) with LF‐LG AS (mean gradient <40 mm Hg and indexed aortic valve area ≤0.6 cm2/m2) and reduced LVEF (≤40%) were prospectively included in this analysis and 63 of them underwent aortic valve replacement within 3 months following inclusion. Prolonged QTc was defined as QTc >450 ms in men and >470 ms in women. LV global longitudinal strain was measured by speckle tracking and expressed in absolute value |%|. QTc correlated with the following: global longitudinal strain (r=−0.40, P=0.005), LVEF (r=−0.27, P=0.02), stroke volume (r=−0.35, P=0.007), and B‐type natriuretic peptide (r=0.45, P=0.0006). During a median follow‐up of 2.0 years, 49 patients died. Prolonged QTc was associated with a 2‐fold increase in all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio=2.05; P=0.01) and cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio=1.89; P=0.04). In multivariable analysis adjusted for EuroSCORE, aortic valve replacement, previous myocardial infarction, LVEF, and ß‐blocker medication, prolonged QTc was independently associated with all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio=2.56; P=0.008) and cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio=2.50; P=0.02). Conclusions In patients with LF‐LG AS and reduced LVEF, longer QTc interval was associated with worse LV function and increased risk of death. Assessment of QTc may provide a simple and inexpensive tool to enhance risk stratification in LF‐LG AS patients.

    Hemodynamic deterioration of surgically implanted bioprosthetic aortic valves
    (Elsevier Biomedical, 2018-07-09) Dahou, Abdellaziz; Arsenault, Benoit; Larose, Éric; Mahjoub, Haïfa; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Pibarot, Philippe; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Puri, Rishi; Després, Jean-Pierre; Mathieu, Patrick; Salaun, Erwan
    BACKGROUND: Dysmetabolic profile has been associated with native aortic valve stenosis. However, there are imited data on the effects of an atherogenic milieu and its potential implications on the structural and hemodynamic deterio- ration of aortic bioprosthetic valves. OBJECTIVES: This prospective longitudinal study sought to determine the predictors and impact on outcomes of he- modynamic valve deterioration (HVD) of surgically implanted aortic bioprostheses. METHODS: A total of 137 patients with an aortic bioprosthesis implanted for a median time of 6.7 (interquartile range: 5.1 to 9.1) years prospectively underwent a first (baseline) assessment with complete Doppler echocardiography, quantitation of bioprosthesis leaflet calcification by multidetector computed tomography (CT), and a fasting blood sample to assess cardiometabolic risk profile. All patients underwent a second (follow-up) Doppler echocardiography examination at 3 (interquartile range: 2.9 to 3.3) years post-baseline visit. HVD was defined by an annualized change in mean transprosthetic gradient $3 mm Hg/year and/or worsening or transprosthetic regurgitation by $1/3 class. The primary endpoint was a nonhierarchical composite of death from any cause or aortic reintervention procedure (redo surgical valve replacement or transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation) for bioprosthesis failure. RESULTS Thirty-four patients (25.6%) had leaflet calcification on baseline CT, and 18 patients (13.1%) developed an HVD between baseline and follow-up echocardiography. Fifty-two patients (38.0%) met the primary endpoint during subsequent follow-up after the second echocardiographic examination. Leaflet calcification (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.58; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.35 to 4.82; p ¼ 0.005) and HVD (HR: 5.12; 95% CI: 2.57 to 9.71; p < 0.001) were independent predictors of the primary endpoint. Leaflet calcification, insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment index $2.7), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 activity (Lp-PLA2 per 0.1 nmol/min/ml increase), and high level of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) ($305 ng/ml) were associated with the development of HVD after adjusting for age, sex, and time interval since aortic valve replacement. CONCLUSIONS: HVD identified by Doppler echocardiography is independently associated with a marked increase in the risk of valve reintervention or mortality in patients with a surgical aortic bioprosthesis. A dysmetabolic profile charac- terized by elevated plasma Lp-PLA2, PCSK9, and homeostatic model assessment index was associated with increased risk of HVD. The presence of leaflet calcification as detected by CT was a strong predictor of HVD, providing incremental risk- predictive capacity.

    Bioprosthetic aortic valve durability in the era of transcatheter aortic valve implantation
    (B M J Group, 2018-05-07) Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Pibarot, Philippe; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Salaun, Erwan
    The main limitation of bioprosthetic valves is their limited durability, which exposes the patient to the risk of aortic valve reintervention. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is considered a reasonable alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with intermediate or high surgical risk. TAVI is now rapidly expanding towards the lower risk populations. Although the results of midterm durability of the transcatheter bioprostheses are encouraging, their long-term durability remains largely unknown. The objective of this review article is to present the definition, mechanisms, incidence, outcome and management of structural valve deterioration of aortic bioprostheses with specific emphasis on TAVI. The structural valve deterioration can be categorised into three stages: stage 1: morphological abnormalities (fibrocalcific remodelling and tear) of bioprosthesis valve leaflets without hemodynamic valve deterioration; stage 2: morphological abnormalities and moderate hemodynamic deterioration (increase in gradient and/or new onset of transvalvular regurgitation); and stage 3: morphological abnormalities and severe hemodynamic deterioration. Several specifics inherent to the TAVI including valve oversizing, manipulation, delivery, positioning and deployment may cause injuries to the valve leaflets and increase leaflet mechanical stress, which may limit the long-term durability of transcatheter bioprostheses. The selection of the type of aortic valve replacement and bioprosthesis should thus take into account the ratio between the demonstrated durability of the bioprostheses versus the life expectancy of the patient. Pending the publication of robust data on long-term durability of transcatheter bioprostheses, it appears reasonable to select SAVR with a bioprosthesis model that has well-established long-term durability in patients with low surgical risk and long life expectancy.

    Outcomes from transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis and left ventricular ejection fraction less than 30% : a substudy from the TOPAS-TAVI registry
    (JAMA Network, 2018-12-19) Maes, Frédéric; Dahou, Abdellaziz; Lerakis, Stamatios A.; Côté, Mélanie; Nombela-Franco, Luis; Gilard, Martine; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Cavalcante, João L.; Annabi, Mohamed Salah; Makkar, Rajendra; Pelletier Beaumont, Émilie; Herrmann, Howard C.; Pibarot, Philippe; Windecker, Stephan; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Enriquez-Sarano, Maurice; Puri, Rishi; Cheema, Asim; Ribeiro, Henrique B.; Muñoz, Antonio; García del Blanco, Bruno; Zajarias, Alan; Lisko, John C.; Hayek, Salim; Babaliaros, Vasilis; Le Ven, Florent; Gleason, Thomas G.; Chakravarty, Tarun; Szeto, Wilson; Agustin, Alberto de; Serra, Vicenç; Schindler, John Thomas
    Importance: In low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG AS), the severity of left ventricular dysfunction remains a key factor in the evaluation of aortic valve replacement. Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with LFLG AS and severe left ventricular dysfunction. Design, setting, and participants: This multicenter registry is a substudy of the True or Pseudo-Severe Aortic Stenosis-TAVI registry that included patients with classic LFLG AS, defined as a mean transvalvular gradient less than 35 mm Hg, an effective orifice area less than 1.0 cm2, and an LVEF of 40% or less. Patients were divided in groups with very low (<30%) LVEF and low (30%-40%) LVEF. Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) was performed before TAVR in a subset with very low LVEF, and presence of contractile reserve was defined as an increase of 20% or more in stroke volume. Clinical outcomes were assessed at 1 and 12 months and yearly thereafter, and echocardiography was performed at 1-year follow-up. Retrospective data were collected from 2007 to 2013 and prospective data from January 2013 to March 2018. Data were analyzed from March to October 2018. Exposures: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with LFLG AS. Main outcomes and measures: Changes in LVEF over time; periprocedural and late mortality. Results: A total of 293 patients were included, including 128 (43.7%) with very low LVEF and 165 with low LVEF (56.3%). Their mean (SD) age was 80 (7) years, and most (214 [73.0%]) were men. The mean (SD) LVEF in the very low LVEF group was 22% (5%), compared with 37% (7%) in the low LVEF group (P < .001). There were no differences between groups in rates of periprocedural mortality and late mortality (median [interquartile range], 23 [6-38] months). Patients with very low LVEF displayed a greater increase in LVEF at the 1-year follow-up examination (mean absolute increase, 11.9% [95% CI, 8.8%-15.1%]), than the low LVEF group (3.6% [95% CI, 1.1%-6.1%]; P < .001). In 92 patients with very low LVEF who had preprocedural DSE, results showed a lack of contractile reserve in 45 (49%), but this had no effect on clinical outcomes or changes in LVEF over time. Conclusions and relevance: In patients with LFLG AS and severe left ventricular dysfunction, TAVR was associated with similar clinical outcomes as in counterparts with milder left ventricular dysfunction. The TAVR procedure was associated with a significant increase in LVEF, irrespective of contractile reserve. These results support TAVR for LFLG AS, irrespective of the severity of left ventricular dysfunction and DSE results.

    Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis : the TOPAS-TAVI registry
    (Elsevier Science, 2018-03-19) Dahou, Abdellaziz; Lerakis, Stamatios A.; Côté, Mélanie; Gilard, Martine; Nombela-Franco, Luis; Cavalcante, João L.; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Makkar, Rajendra; Le Ven, Florent; Herrmann, Howard C.; Amat Santos, Ignacio J.; Windecker, Stephan; Pelletier Beaumont, Émilie; Enriquez-Sarano, Maurice; Pibarot, Philippe; Cheema, Asim; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Puri, Rishi; Ribeiro, Henrique B.; Muñoz, Antonio; García del Blanco, Bruno; Zajarias, Alan; Lisko, John C.; Hayek, Salim; Babaliaros, Vasilis; Gleason, Thomas G.; Chakravarty, Tarun; Szeto, Wilson Y.; Agustin, Alberto de; Serra, Vicenç; Schindler, John Thomas
    Background : Few data exist on patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Also, very scarce data exist on the usefulness of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) before TAVR in these patients. Objectives : The authors sought to evaluate clinical outcomes and changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following TAVR in patients with classical LFLG-AS. Methods : This multicenter registry included 287 patients with LFLG-AS undergoing TAVR. DSE was performed before TAVR in 234 patients and the presence of contractile reserve was defined as an increase of ≥20% in stroke volume. Transthoracic echocardiography was repeated at hospital discharge and at 1-year follow-up. Clinical follow-up was obtained at 1 and 12 months, and yearly thereafter. Results : The median Society of Thoracic Surgeons score of the study population was 7.7% (interquartile range 5.3% to 12.0%), and the mean LVEF and transvalvular gradient were 30.1 ± 9.7% and 25.4 ± 6.6 mm Hg, respectively. The presence of contractile reserve was observed in 45% of patients at DSE. Mortality rates were 3.8%, 20.1%, and 32.3% at 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years, respectively. On multivariable analysis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p = 0.022) and lower hemoglobin values (p < 0.001) were associated with all-cause mortality. Lower hemoglobin values (p = 0.004) and moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation post-TAVR (p = 0.018) were predictors of the composite of mortality and rehospitalization due to heart failure. LVEF increased by 8.3% (95% confidence interval: 6% to 11%) at 1-year follow-up, and the lack of prior coronary artery bypass graft (p = 0.004), a lower LVEF at baseline (p < 0.001), and a lower stroke volume index at baseline (p = 0.019) were associated with greater increase in LVEF. The absence of contractile reserve at baseline DSE was not associated with any negative effect on clinical outcomes or LVEF changes at follow-up. Conclusions : TAVR was associated with good periprocedural outcomes in patients with LFLG-AS. However, approximately one-third of LFLG-AS TAVR recipients died at 2-year follow-up, with pulmonary disease, anemia, and residual paravalvular leaks associated with poorer outcomes. LVEF improved following TAVR, but DSE failed to predict clinical outcomes or LVEF changes over time.

    The physiological burden of the 6-minute walk test compared with cardiopulmonary exercise stress test in patients with severe aortic atenosis
    (Elsevier, 2021-02-06) Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Auclair, Audrey; Bagur, Rodrigo Hernan; Nadreau, Éric; Poirier, Paul; Pibarot, Philippe; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Bastien, Marjorie; Forman, Daniel E.
    Background Management of aortic stenosis (AS) relies on symptoms. Exercise testing is recommended for asymptomatic patients with significant AS but is often experienced as forbidding and/or technically unrealistic for patients who are often frail, deconditioned, and intimidated by the exercise test. We compared the physiological burden assessed with gas exchange assessments to gauge and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) of a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) to a cardiopulmonary exercise stress test (CPET) in patients with severe AS. peak oxygen utilization Methods Adults with equivocal symptoms and severe AS (1-aortic valve area [AVA] ≤ 1.0 cm2 or AVA index ≤ 0.6 cm2/m2, 2-peak aortic jet velocity ≥ 4.0 m/sec, 3-mean transvalvular pressure gradient ≥ 40 mm Hg by rest or dobutamine stress echocardiography, or 4-aortic valve calcification ≥ 1200 in women or ≥ 2000 AU in men) were studied. All participants completed both a 6MWT and symptom-limited progressive bicycle exercise testing. Breath-by-breath gas analysis and 12-lead electrocardiography were completed during 6MWT and CPET. Results: Eleven patients were studied. Patients walked on average 330 ± 75 m during the 6MWT and achieved a maximal workload of 48 ± 14 watts during the CPET. During the 6MWT, peak maximal oxygen uptake (O2peak) was 12.8 ± 2.5 vs 10.8 ± 4.2 mL/kg/min during the CPET. Respiratory exchange ratio exceeded 1.1 in both the 6MWT and CPET indicating similarly high exertion. Compared with the CPET, a larger proportion of the 6MWT was performed at a high intensity level (78% ± 28% vs 33% ± 24% at > 85% V̇O2peak; P = 0.004). Conclusions The 6MWT with breath-by-breath gas analysis was well tolerated and able to achieve a physiological intense RER and O2peak that are similar to symptom-limited CPET in patients with severe AS.

    Comprehensive myocardial characterization using cardiac magnetic resonance associates with outcomes in low gradient severe aortic stenosis
    (Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press, 2022-05-25) Fukui, Miho; Annabi, Mohamed Salah; Rosa, Vitor E.E.; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Pibarot, Philippe
    Aims This study sought to compare cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) characteristics according to different flow/gradient patterns of aortic stenosis (AS) and to evaluate their prognostic value in patients with low-gradient AS. Methods and results This international prospective multicentric study included 147 patients with low-gradient moderate to severe AS who underwent comprehensive CMR evaluation of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), extracellular volume fraction (ECV), and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). All patients were classified as followings: classical low-flow low-gradient (LFLG) [mean gradient (MG) < 40 mmHg and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%]; paradoxical LFLG [MG < 40 mmHg, LVEF ≥ 50%, and stroke volume index (SVi) < 35 ml/m2]; and normal-flow low-gradient (MG < 40 mmHg, LVEF ≥ 50%, and SVi ≥ 35 ml/m2). Patients with classical LFLG (n = 90) had more LV adverse remodelling including higher ECV, and higher LGE and volume, and worst LVGLS. Over a median follow-up of 2 years, 43 deaths and 48 composite outcomes of death or heart failure hospitalizations occurred. Risks of adverse events increased per tertile of LVGLS: hazard ratio (HR) = 1.50 [95% CI, 1.02–2.20]; P = 0.04 for mortality; HR = 1.45 [1.01–2.09]; P < 0.05 for composite outcome; per tertile of ECV, HR = 1.63 [1.07–2.49]; P = 0.02 for mortality; HR = 1.54 [1.02–2.33]; P = 0.04 for composite outcome. LGE presence also associated with higher mortality, HR = 2.27 [1.01–5.11]; P < 0.05 and composite outcome, HR = 3.00 [1.16–7.73]; P = 0.02. The risk of mortality and the composite outcome increased in proportion to the number of impaired components (i.e. LVGLS, ECV, and LGE) with multivariate adjustment. Conclusions In this international prospective multicentric study of low-gradient AS, comprehensive CMR assessment provides independent prognostic value that is cumulative and incremental to clinical and echocardiographic characteristics.
