Differential systemic inflammatory responses after TAVI: The role of self versus balloon expandable devices.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) provokes early injury response, represented in part by dynamic changes in the inflammatory markers. The association of self-expanding valves (SEVs) and balloon-expandable valves (BEVs) with the consequent inflammatory response remains uncertain.

Materials and methods

Patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who underwent transfemoral TAVI: SEVs or BEVs, from January 2010 to December 2019 were enrolled. Whole white blood cells (WBC) and subpopulation dynamics as well the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were evaluated.

Results

Three-hundred seventy consecutive patients (mean age 81.75 ± 6.8 years, 199 women's) were enrolled. In the entire population, significant kinetic changes in the WBC response (p <0.0001) between admission and first 24 hours post procedure, with a significant increase in total WBC (7.46 ± 2.26 to 10.08 ± 3.55) and absolute neutrophil count (4.97 ± 2.06 to 8.19 ± 3.43), NL ratio (3.72 ± 2.8 to 9.76 ± 7.29), and a meaningful decrease in absolute lymphocytes count (1.67 ± 1.1 to 1.1 ± 0.76). When compared between the types of valves, SEVs were associated with a more pronounced inflammatory response than BEVs, with total WBC (10.44 ± 3.86 vs. 9.45 ± 3.19) neutrophils (8.56 ± 3.75 vs. 7.55 ± 3.06) with p 0.016 and 0.012 respectively.

Conclusion

This is the first description of a differential inflammatory response between the two leading delivery systems. SEV appears to trigger a more robust inflammatory response as compared to BEV. Clinical studies are warranted to assess the long term effect of our findings.

Project description:BackgroundThe 20-mm balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV) represents the smallest available option for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Its current underutilization stems from concerns regarding prosthesis-patient mismatch, durability, and potential adverse outcomes.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes between the 20-mm balloon-expandable THVs and standard-size balloon-expandable THVs.MethodsPatients who underwent transfemoral TAVR with SAPIEN THVs were sourced from the OCEAN-TAVI (Optimized Transcatheter Valvular Intervention) registry, an ongoing, multicenter cohort study that has enrolled over 7,000 TAVR patients in Japan. A 1:3 propensity-matched analysis, based on 24 baseline clinical and echocardiographic variables, was used to contrast the 20-mm with >20-mm balloon-expandable THVs.ResultsOf 5,086 eligible patients, 284 (5.6%) received the 20-mm balloon-expandable THV. After propensity-matching, the 20-mm THV group (n = 276) and the >20-mm THV group (n = 828) demonstrated balanced baseline characteristics, with an absolute standardized difference <0.10. The average follow-up duration for patients who were alive was 955 ± 512 days, and the average time to death was 584 ± 543 days. The 20-mm group showed a higher frequency of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) (moderate PPM: 29.2% vs 10.8%; severe PPM: 4.9% vs 1.5%; P < 0.001). Over a 5-year period, all-cause mortality and heart failure rehospitalization rates were comparable between the 2 groups (all-cause mortality: 34.2% vs 38.0%; HR: 1.01; 95% CI: 0.74-1.37; P = 0.970; heart failure rehospitalization: 15.2% vs 16.3%; HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.50-1.29; P = 0.371).ConclusionsThis registry-based study suggests that the initially observed inferior forward hemodynamics associated with the 20-mm THV do not translate into heightened long-term mortality or heart failure rehospitalization risks.
