چکیده

OBJECTIVE Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) in selected high risk patients. While improvement in left ventricular function after TAVI has been demonstrated, little is known about the impact on right ventricular (RV) function. Since postoperative RV dysfunction is linked to adverse outcomes, the authors sought to investigate the effect of TAVI and aortic valve replacement (AVR) on RV function using speckle tracking echocardiography. DESIGN Cross-sectional study in tertiary healthcare setting. SETTING 101 patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (age 81 ± 11 yrs) who underwent TAVI and 22 patients who underwent sAVR were included. RV function was assessed using 2D longitudinal strain (RV-LS), fractional area change and tricuspid annular plain systolic excursion before and after sAVR and TAVI (median 89 days). RESULTS Although the TAVI group had worse baseline characteristics, RV function remained unchanged in this group whereas significant deterioration of RV function was observed in patients undergoing conventional AVR: RV-LS (-25.2 ± 6.1 vs -20.0 ± 7.0%; p=0.009), RV-fractional area change (47.0 ± 7.0 vs 39.8 ± 10.7%, p=0.019) and tricuspid annular plain systolic excursion (24 ± 5 vs 16 ± 4 mm, p=0.0001). CONCLUSION While TAVI did not affect RV function it deteriorated significantly in patients undergoing sAVR. The authors speculate that this may be related to the detrimental effects of pericardiotomy and, to a lesser degree, cardiopulmonary bypass. While further studies are required to assess the clinical significance of this finding, these data suggest that patients with pre-existing RV dysfunction may benefit from TAVI and that RV function should be incorporated into future risk scores.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review Article

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. Since the initial PARTNER trial results, use of TAVR has been on the rise each year. New delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...

Early right ventricular dysfunction after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI): a prospective cardiac magnetic resonance study of open versus transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Background Recent published literature has validated the use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in highrisk patients with aortic stenosis. These trials and registries have largely focused on combined morbidity and mortality outcomes with little focus given to impact on early myocardial function. We assessed effects on myocardial function, reversible and irreversible myocardial in...

Prognostic impact of pre-existing right ventricular dysfunction on the outcome of transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

AIMS Right ventricular dysfunction is a well recognized adverse prognostic factor in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement. The prognostic significance of right ventricular dysfunction in the context of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has not been established. We evaluated the relationship between preprocedural right ventricular impairment and the outcome of TAVI....

Impact of aortic regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: results from the REVIVAL trial.

OBJECTIVES Understanding the severity of aortic regurgitation (AR) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation, its impact on left ventricular (LV) structure and function, and the structural factors associated with worsening AR could lead to improvements in patient selection, implantation technique, and valve design. BACKGROUND Initial studies in patients at high risk of surgical aortic val...
