Clinical Trial Principles and Endpoint Definitions for Paravalvular Leaks in Surgical Prosthesis: An Expert Statement.

چکیده
The VARC (Valve Academic Research Consortium) for transcatheter aortic valve replacement set the standard for selecting appropriate clinical endpoints reflecting safety and effectiveness of transcatheter devices, and defining single and composite clinical endpoints for clinical trials. No such standardization exists for circumferentially sutured surgical valve paravalvular leak (PVL) closure. This document seeks to provide core principles, appropriate clinical endpoints, and endpoint definitions to be used in clinical trials of PVL closure devices. The PVL Academic Research Consortium met to review evidence and make recommendations for assessment of disease severity, data collection, and updated endpoint definitions. A 5-class grading scheme to evaluate PVL was developed in concordance with VARC recommendations. Unresolved issues in the field are outlined. The current PVL Academic Research Consortium provides recommendations for assessment of disease severity, data collection, and endpoint definitions. Future research in the field is warranted.

BACKGROUND The objective was to evaluate the effects of aortic annulus size on valve hemodynamics and clinical outcomes in those patients included in the Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves (PARTNER) randomized controlled trial cohort A and the nonrandomized continued access cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients included the randomized controlled trial (n=574) and nonrandomized continued ...
متن کاملReview of surgical prosthetic paravalvular leaks: diagnosis and catheter-based closure.
Paravalvular leak (PVL) is an uncommon yet serious complication associated with surgical prosthetic valve implantation. Paravalvular leak can have significant clinical consequence such as congestive heart failure, haemolytic anaemia, and infective endocarditis. Recently, transcatheter therapy has been applied to the treatment of this disorder with reasonable procedural and clinical success. Thi...

متن کاملFailed percutaneous closure of a mitral prosthesis paravalvular leak.
A 77-year-old man who had a mechanical prosthetic mitral valve and aortic valve implanted in 1993 presented dyspnea and anemia, and was diagnosed of mitral prosthesis paravalvular leak. The patient was considered at high operative risk owing to his age, severe pulmonary hypertension, chronic renal failure, and previous cardiac surgery. Surgical treatment in his reference hospital was therefore ...
متن کاملPercutaneous Closure of Mitral Paravalvular Leak Guided by Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography
Reoperation is the method of choice for correcting prosthetic paravalvular leaks. The percutaneous repair of mitral paravalvular leaks might represent an interesting alternative in select cases. The present study reports two cases of mitral paravalvular leaks that were treated with AmplatzerTM Vascular Plug III guided by three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography, using the percuta...
