The impact of myocardial injury on outcomes in TAVI patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peri-procedural myocardial injury (PPMI) has been commonly reported after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and may have a potential impact on outcomes. The recent update to the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-3 criteria for PPMI warrants a comparison with the preceding VARC-2 criteria to understand its implications on patient outcomes.

Aims

To assess the prognostic significance of PPMI as defined by VARC-3 versus VARC-2 in TAVI patients and evaluate the predictive value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) for adverse outcomes within 1 year post-TAVI.

Methods

Consecutive patients undergoing TAVI in a tertiary university hospital between December 2011 and June 2023, with hs-cTnT concentrations pre- and post-procedurally, w
