Clinical Outcomes of Subcutaneous and Visceral Adipose Tissue Characteristics Assessed in Patients Underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adipose tissue (AT) characteristics are considered to be a marker for predicting clinical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) computed tomography (CT) assessment in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Methods

We used the Japanese multicentre registry data of 1372 patients (age: 84.5 ± 5.0 years, women: 70.6%) who underwent TAVR. The SAT and VAT were assessed according to the preprocedural CT area and density. Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared based on the differences in AT characteristics. The independent associations with all-cause mortality after TAVR were evaluated according to the CT area and density of
