Periprocedural Outcomes of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation Using a Tethered Device in a Post-market Follow-up Study
Autoren
Background: Transapical transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) provides treatment for severely ill patients with symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR) deemed poor candidates for conventional surgery. A prospective, multi-center, single-arm, post-market follow-up (PMCF) study is enrolling to confirm safety and efficacy of a tethered transapical (TA) transcatheter heart valve (THV) in patients with severe symptomatic MR at high risk for surgery.
Method: Fifty patients were treated using this TA THV from May 2021 to January 2022 at 19 European centers and followed for 30 days. Baseline characteristics, periprocedural outcomes, serious adverse events and mortality are reported according to MVARC definition.
Results: Patients (age 74.3 ± 7.0 years, 32/50 [64.0%] male, 36/49 [73.5%] NYHA III/IV, LVEF 47.7 ± 13.1%) presented with a pronounced overall risk profile due to increased prevalence of coronary artery disease (31/50, 62.0%), pulmonary hypertension (28/50, 56.0%), renal failure (28/50, 56.0%) or additional valvular heart disease (38/50, 76.0%) resulting in Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) score of 10.0 ± 8.6%. Etiology of MR was primary (20/45, 44.4%), secondary (19/45, 42.2%), or mixed (6/45, 13.3%). Procedure and device times were 124.4 (range: 63–292) and 56.7 (range: 21–144) minutes, respectively. Valve implant rate was 96% (48/50) with two cases of THV retrieval due to concern of left ventricular outflow track obstruction (LVOTO). There was no conversion to surgery or procedural mortality. Technical success rate was 90.0% (45/50). Mean transmitral gradient was 4.1 ± 1.3 mm Hg at discharge, and 3.3 ± 1.6 mm Hg at 30-day. Paravalvular leakage was absent in all followed patients. All-cause and cardiovascular mortality and disabling stroke at 30 days were 8.0% (4/50), 4.0% (2/50) and 2.0% (1/50), respectively.
Conclusion: Preliminary experience in this PMCF study confirms an acceptable acute safety profile in high-risk patients. Excellent hemodynamic results with complete MR elimination in all patients treated with this TA THV were observed under real-world conditions. Results will have to be confirmed during further enrollment in this registry.
