Efficacy and Safety of NOACs Compared With VKAs for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A System Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are preferentially recommended in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) for stroke prevention over vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). However, the evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of NOACs versus VKAs after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with AF is very rare. Pubmed, Embase, Web of science, and Cochrane Databases were searched for eligible studies published before May 19, 2022. A total of 11 studies were included in this meta-analysis involving 27 107 patients. Regarding primary outcomes, there were no differences between NOACs and VKAs in all-cause mortality (RR: 0.84, 95% CI: (0.69, 1.02)) and stroke (RR: 1.00, 95% CI: (0.85, 1.19)). With respect to secondary outcomes, NOACs were associated with reduced incidence of bleeding (RR: 0.77, 95% CI: (0.71, 0.83)) and intracranial bleeding (RR: 0.57, 95% CI: (0.39, 0.83)), whereas no significant differences were found in major or life-threatening bleeding (RR: 0.98, 95% CI: (0.82, 1.17)) and myocardial infarction (RR: 1.37, 95% CI: (0.83, 2.26)). Our meta-analysis revealed the safety and efficacy of NOACs may be superior to VKAs in AF patients undergoing TAVI.

Project description:ObjectiveTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures are increasing rapidly, but the durability of tissue valve and periprocedural complications are not satisfactory. Immune reaction to the galactose-α-1,3 galactose β-1,4-N-acetylglucosamine (α-Gal) and conventional processing protocols of cardiac xenografts lead to calcification. Next-generation TAVI needs to be made with α-Gal-free xenografts by multiple anticalcification therapies to avoid immune rejection and enhance durability, and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to improve the procedural safety.MethodsPorcine pericardia were decellularized and immunologically modified with α-galactosidase. The pericardia were treated by space filler, crosslinked with glutaraldehyde in organic solvent, and detoxified. The sheep-specific nitinol (nickel-titanium memory alloy) wire backbone was made from a 3D-printed model for ovine aortic root. After it passed the fitting test, we manufactured a self-expandable stented valve with the porcine pericardia mounted on the customized nitinol wire-based stent. After in vitro circulation using customized silicone aortic root, we performed TAVI in 9 sheep and obtained hemodynamic, radiological, immunohistopathological, and biochemical results.ResultsThe valve functioned well, with excellent stent fitting and good coronary flow under in vitro circulation. Sheep were sequentially scheduled to be humanely killed until 238 days after TAVI. Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization demonstrated good hemodynamic status and function of the aortic valve. The xenografts were well preserved without α-Gal immune reaction or calcification based on the immunological, radiographic, microscopic, and biochemical examinations.ConclusionsWe proved preclinical safety and efficacy for next-generation α-Gal-free TAVI with multiple anticalcification therapies and 3D-printing technology. A future clinical study is warranted based on these promising preclinical results.
