    Abstract: Permanent pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a relevant issue, being more frequent than after surgery and the progressive shift towards low-risk patients stressed the importance to reduce the risk of complications that could impact patient’s long-term prognosis. Long-term right ventricular pacing has been related to an increased risk of electromechanical asynchrony, negative left-ventricular remodelling, atrial fibrillation and heart failure, but there is a lack of evidence regarding the prognostic impact on TAVI patients. The aim of this international multicentre study is to assess the impact of right ventricular pacing on prognosis of TAVI patients undergone pacemaker implantation after the procedure due to conduction disorders. Methods and results All the consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis treated with TAVI and subsequently underwent pacemaker implantation in each participating centre were enrolled. Patients were divided into two subgroups according to the percentage of ventricular pacing (VP cut-off: 40%) at pacemaker interrogation. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization for heart failure in subgroups based on the percentage of ventricular stimulation. All cause and cardiovascular mortality in the subgroups according to the percentage of ventricular pacing were the secondary endpoints. In total, 427 patients were enrolled, 153 patients with VP  & lt; 40% and 274 with a with VP ≥ 40%. Patients with VP ≥ 40% were older (81.16 ± 6.4 years vs. 80.51 ± 6.8 years), with higher NYHA class, a lower EF (55.26 ± 12.2 vs. 57.99 ± 11.3 P = 0.03), an increased end diastolic ventricular volume (112.11 ± 47.6 vs. 96.60 ± 40.4, P = 0.005) and diameter (48.89 ± 9.7 vs. 45.84 ± 7.5 P = 0.01). A higher incidence of moderate post-procedural paravalvular leak was observed in patients with VP ≥ 40% (37.5% vs. 26.85%, P = 0.03). Ventricular pacing ≥40% was associated with a higher incidence of the composite primary endpoint of CV mortality and HF hospitalization (p at log rank test = 0.006, adjusted HR: 2.41; 95% CI: 1.03–5.6; P = 0.04). Patients with ventricular pacing ≥ 40% had also a higher risk of all-cause (p at log rank test = 0.03, adjusted HR = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.03–2.38; P = 0.03) and cardiovascular (p at log ank test =0.008, adjusted HR: 3.77; CI: 1.32–10.78; P = 0.006) mortality compared to patients with a VP  & lt; 40%. Conclusions TAVI Patients underwent permanent pacemaker implantation after the procedure due to conduction disorders and with a VP ≥ 40% at follow-up are at increased risk of cardiovascular death and HF hospitalizations and of all-cause mortality compared to patients with a VP  & lt; 40%. It is mandatory to reduce the percentage of ventricular pacing at follow-up when possible or consider left ventricular branch pacing and biventricular pacing in TAVI patients.

    Abstract: The prognostic impact of flow trajectories according to stroke volume index (SVi) and transvalvular flow rate (FR) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains poorly assessed. We evaluated and compared SVi and FR prior and after TAVR for severe AS. Methods and results Patients were categorized according to SVi ( & lt;35 ml/m2) and FR ( & lt;200 ml/sec). The association of pre- and post-TAVR SVi and FR with all-cause mortality up to 3 years was assessed with multivariable Cox regression models. Among 980 patients with pre-TAVR flow assessment, SVi was reduced in 41.3% and FR in 48.1%. Baseline flow status was not an independent mortality predictor (SVi: HR 1.39, 95%CI 0.81-2.40, FR: HR 0.86, 95%CI 0.51-1.46). Among 731 patients undergoing early (5 days, IQR 2-29) post-TAVR flow assessment, SVi recovered in 40.1% and FR in 49.0% patients with baseline low-flow. Reduced FR following TAVR was an independent predictor of mortality (HR 2.08, 95%CI 1.07-4.04) while SVi was not (HR 0.68, 95%CI 0.34-1.36). Three-year estimated mortality in patients with recovered FR was lower as compared to patients with reduced FR (13.3% vs 37.7% vs, p=0.003) and similar to patients with normal baseline FR (p=0.317). Conclusions Baseline flow status was not an independent predictor of mid-term mortality among all-comers with severe AS undergoing TAVR. Flow recovery early after TAVR was frequent. Post-TAVR FR, but not SVi, was independently associated with mid-term all-cause mortality. By impacting flow status, AV replacement modifies the association of flow status with outcomes.

We evaluated and compared SVi and FR prior and after TAVR for severe AS. Methods and results Patients were categorized according to SVi ( & lt;35 mL/m2) and FR ( & lt;200 mL/s). The association of pre- and post-TAVR SVi and FR with all-cause mortality up to 3 years was assessed with multivariable Cox regression models. Among 980 patients with pre-TAVR flow assessment, SVi was reduced in 41.3% and FR in 48.1%. Baseline flow status was not an independent mortality predictor [SVi: hazard ratio (HR) 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85–1.82, FR: HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.48–1.27]. Among 731 patients undergoing early (5 days, interquartile range 2–29) post-TAVR flow assessment, SVi recovered in 40.1% and FR in 49.0% patients with baseline low flow. Reduced FR following TAVR was an independent predictor of mortality (HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.02–2.74), whereas SVi was not (HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.53–1.78). Three-year estimated mortality in patients with recovered FR was lower than that in patients with reduced FR (13.3 vs. 37.7% vs, P = 0.003) and similar to that in patients with normal baseline FR (P = 0.317).

    Abstract: To establish the safety and efficacy of different dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) combinations in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) according to their baseline ischaemic and bleeding risk estimated with a machine learning derived model [machine learning-based prediction of adverse events following an acute coronary syndrome (PRAISE) score]. Methods and results Incidences of death, re-acute myocardial infarction (re-AMI), and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3–5 bleeding with aspirin plus different P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel or potent P2Y12 inhibitors: ticagrelor or prasugrel) were appraised among patients of the PRAISE data set grouped in four subcohorts: low-to-moderate ischaemic and bleeding risk; low-to-moderate ischaemic risk and high bleeding risk; high ischaemic risk and low-to-moderate bleeding risk; and high ischaemic and bleeding risk. Hazard ratios (HRs) for the outcome measures were derived with inverse probability of treatment weighting adjustment. Among patients with low-to-moderate bleeding risk, clopidogrel was associated with higher rates of re-AMI in those at low-to-moderate ischaemic risk [HR 1.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.16–2.51; P = 0.006] and increased risk of death (HR 3.2, 1.45–4.21; P = 0.003) and re-AMI (HR 2.23, 1.45–3.41; P & lt; 0.001) in those at high ischaemic risk compared with prasugrel or ticagrelor, without a difference in the risk of major bleeding. Among patients with high bleeding risk, clopidogrel showed comparable risk of death, re-AMI, and major bleeding vs. potent P2Y12 inhibitors, regardless of the baseline ischaemic risk. Conclusion Among ACS patients with non-high risk of bleeding, the use of potent P2Y12 inhibitors is associated with a lower risk of death and recurrent ischaemic events, without bleeding excess. Patients deemed at high bleeding risk may instead be safely addressed to a less intensive DAPT strategy with clopidogrel.

    Abstract: The impact of complete revascularization (CR) on survival and occurrence of heart failure (HF) after ACS is still unsettled. Goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of CR on HF hospitalization and adverse outcomes in patients with ACS and multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing PCI. Methods Consecutive ACS patients with multivessel disease from the CORALYS registry were included. First hospitalization for HF or cardiovascular (CV) death was the primary endpoint. Patients were stratified according to CR. Results Of 14699 patients in the CORALYS registry, 5054 had multivessel disease. 1473 (29.2%) underwent CR, while 3581 (70.8%) did not. Over 5 years follow-up, CR was associated with a reduced incidence of the primary endpoint (adjusted HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.51-0.85), first HF hospitalization (adj HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.49-0.90), CV death (adj HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.38-0.84) and all-cause death (adj HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.56-0.97). The results were consistent in the matched population and in the IPTW analysis. The benefit of CR was consistent across ACS presentations (HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.39-0.89 for STEMI and HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.50-0.99 for NSTE-ACS) and in patients with LVEF & gt;40% (HR 0.52; 95% CI 0.37-0.72), while no significant benefit was observed in patients with LVEF≤40% (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.37-1.10, p for interaction 0.04). Conclusions In patients with ACS and multivessel disease, CR reduced the risk of first hospitalization for HF and CV death, as well as first HF hospitalization, CV and overall death. When feasible, CR should be performed in all patients with ACS to reduce the incidence of HF and death. Future studies are needed to assess the evidence of CR in patients with depressed LVEF.

    Abstract: The early evolution of extravalvular cardiac damage following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as assessed by a previous validated score system remains unstudied. We sought to assess the patterns of early cardiac damage change among patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing TAVR and its prognostic implications. Methods The RECOVERY-TAVR is a multi-center, international retrospective registry including all consecutive patients undergoing TAVR in thirteen high-volume centers. All the enrolled patients with available paired echocardiography assessment pre- and post TAVR were included in this sub-analysis. Patients were categorized according to the extension of cardiac damage based on a previous published and validated classification (stage 0, no damage; stage 1, left ventricular damage; stage 2, left atrial or mitral valve damage; stage 3, pulmonary vasculature or tricuspid valve damage; and stage 4, right ventricular damage). The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality or first heart failure hospitalization at 1 year. The association of cardiac damage stage evaluated prior and following TAVR along with the staging evolution was assessed with multivariate Cox regression model (that include hemoglobin, NYHA class and max aortic valve gradient) for the primary outcome. Results Of 1331 Patients included in the RECOVERY-TAVR registry with a full echocardiographic pre-TAVR assessment, 892 patients with available paired echocardiography exams were finally included in this analysis (pre-TAVR assessment: median 8 days prior to TAVR; post-TAVR assessment: median 7 days post-TAVR). 63 (7.1%) had stage 0/1, 433 (48.2%) had stage 2, 235 (26.3%) had stage 3 and 161 (18%) had stage 4 myocardial damage. Pre-TAVR myocardial damage staging was associated with the primary outcome (Adj-HR for myocardial stage increase: HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.01–1.93). Following TAVR 274 (30.7%) patients experienced myocardial damage improvement and 161 (18.1%) myocardial damage worsening. Post-TAVR myocardial damage staging was more strongly associated with the primary outcome (HR 1.55, 95%CI 1.14–2.10) as compared to pre-TAVR assessment. Male Sex (p = 0.044) and post-procedural permanent pacemaker implantation (p = 0.044) was associated with myocardial damage worsening, while the use of a balloon-expandable valve (p = 0.011) was associated with myocardial damage improvement. Early myocardial damage worsening (HR 1.89, 95%CI 1.12–3.21), but not early myocardial damage improvement (HR 0.86, 95%CI 0.54–1.37) was associated with the primary outcome. Conclusion In patients undergoing TAVR, the extent of extravalvular cardiac damage prior to and early after TAVR has an independent prognostic value while early myocardial damage worsening following TAVR portends a poor prognosis. Whether strategies to improve procedural success and treatments addressing extravalvular myocardial damage early following TAVR may improve outcomes has to be prospectively assessed.
