    Abstract: Extracorporeal life support is used for patients with severe heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation or recovery. We aimed at analyzing the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal life support to treat refractory arrhythmic storm responsible for cardiogenic shock in patients resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: University Hospital of Rennes, France. Patients: Patients with refractory arrhythmic storm admitted between January 2005 and March 2015. Interventions: Patients with intractable refractory arrhythmic storm and cardiogenic shock despite optimal medical therapy were implanted with an extracorporeal life support. Patients’ characteristics and outcomes after extracorporeal life support implantation were analyzed. Measurements and Main Results: Twenty-six patients (23 men, 52.4 ± 9.2 yr old) were included, most of them having ischemic cardiomyopathy (65.4%). Stable sinus rhythm restoration was immediate in 61.5% of patients and occurred after a median time of 3 hours after extracorporeal life support implantation for the remaining ones. Thirteen patients (50%) eventually died, none of them due to extracorporeal life support–related complications, but mostly due to the occurrence of multiple organ failure, and occurred after a median time of 4 days. The remaining 13 patients (50%) had extracorporeal life support withdrawn after 6.7 ± 3.6 days and were discharged after 34.7 ± 14.7 days after admission. Patients with repetitive ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation episodes alternating with periods of sinus rhythm at the time of implantation had a better survival than those in refractory ventricular fibrillation ( p = 0.017). Conclusions: This is the largest database of patients temporary implanted with extracorporeal life support for refractory arrhythmic storm responsible for cardiogenic shock resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs. It provides efficient hemodynamic support and survival rate after the implantation is 50%.

    Abstract: Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with an immune paresis that predisposes to the development of postoperative infections and sepsis. Among factors responsible for CPB-induced immunosuppression, circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have been found to induce early lymphocyte apoptosis and lymphocyte proliferation inhibition. However, the mechanisms involved are not fully understood. In this study, we found that the main lymphocyte subsets decreased significantly 24 h after cardiac surgery with CBP. As expected, cardiac surgery with CPB induced a monocytic MDSC expansion associated with an increased T-cell apoptosis and decreased proliferation capacity. Noteworthy, granulocytic MDSCs remain stable. Myeloid-derived suppressor cell depletion restored the ability of T-cell to proliferate ex vivo . After CPB, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity and IL-10 plasma level were increased such as programmed death-ligand 1 monocytic expression, whereas plasma level of arginine significantly decreased. Neither the inhibition of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity nor the use of anti–programmed death-ligand 1 or anti–IL-10 blocking antibody restored the ability of T-cell to proliferate ex vivo . Only arginine supplementation restored partially the ability of T-cell to proliferate.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to document the postoperative outcomes of patients who underwent hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), the evolution of HCA management over time and to identify the risks factor for early mortality and postoperative stroke. Methods Four hundred and twenty-four patients who underwent aortic surgery with HCA at our institution between January 1995 and June 2016 were consecutively included. Results The main indications were degenerative aneurysm (254; 59.9%) and acute type A aortic dissection (146; 34.4%). Interventions were performed under deep (18.4 ± 0.9°C; n  = 350; 82.5%) or moderate (23.9 ± 1.9°C; n  = 74; 17.5%) hypothermia. Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) was employed in 86 (20.3%) cases. The use of moderate hypothermia significantly increased from 2011, to become the preferred strategy in 2016. The in-hospital mortality was 12.5% and the postoperative stroke rate was 7.1%. Kaplan--Meier 5-year survival was 65.7%. Nonelective timing [odds ratio (OR) 4.05; P   〈  0.001], stroke (OR 3.77’ P  = 0.032), renal failure (OR 2.49; P  = 0.023), redo surgery (2.42; P  = 0.049) and CPB time (OR 1.05; P  = 0.03) were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in multivariate analysis. Femoral cannulation was the only independent risk factor for stroke (OR 3.97; P  = 0.002). The level of hypothermia and the use of ACP were not associated with either in-hospital mortality or postoperative stroke. Conclusion HCA might be widely considered to achieve a radical treatment of the aortic disease, provided that hypothermia is maintained below the 24°C safety threshold and ACP is used for HCA exceeding 30 min, to ensure optimal brain, spinal cord and visceral organs protection.

    Abstract: We aimed at investigating the long-term durability of the Epic bioprosthesis for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in a single-centre series of 888 implantations (2001–2018), expanding previous evaluations with shorter follow-up. Methods We retrieved prospectively collected in-hospital data and performed a systematic follow-up focusing on valve-related events (SVD, structural valve deterioration; PPM, patient–prosthesis mismatch; reoperation) (competing risks, CIF and Kaplan--Meier methods). We distinguished between SVD (permanent changes in valve function due to evolutive structural deterioration, ≥10 mmHg average gradient vs. reference echocardiography) and PPM. Results Average age at SAVR was 75.4 ± 7 years; 855 (96.3%) bioprostheses entered the follow-up and 396 (46.4%) were alive at last assessment. Follow-up was 99.9% complete, median duration was 7.7 years (entire cohort) and 9.9 years (survivors). At 10 years, overall survival was 50% ± 1.9, freedom from SVD was 99.4% ± 0.3 (competing risks) (seven SVD events after 8.1 ± 4.3 years). Freedom from SVD at 15 years was 98.4% ± 0.8 (competing risks). Prevalence of severe PPM was higher in 19 mm (6.5%) and 21 mm (10.2%) size cohorts. PPM (severe or moderate/severe) had no significant impact on overall survival (log-rank P  = 0.27 and P  = 0.21, respectively). Freedom from any reintervention (reoperation or TAVI Valve-in-Valve) for SVD at 10 years was 99.4% ± 0.3 (competing risks); freedom from any valve-related reintervention was 97.4% ± 0.6 (competing risks). Conclusion The Epic bioprosthesis for SAVR is limited by nonnegligible rates of PPM, which have nonetheless no impact on late survival. This device shows excellent durability and low rates of adverse valve-related events.

    Abstract: In addition to the transfemoral route, common approaches for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are the transapical and transaortic ones. Yet, these are associated with morbidity. The transsubclavian approach (TSA) is an alternative to minimize invasiveness. Methods Fifteen consecutive patients underwent TAVI via TSA using the CoreValve Evolut R. The 14F delivery system without sheath was directly introduced into the artery. Results Success was 100%; contrast volume was 99.4 ± 29.58 ml. Patients were extubated after 1.66 ± 0.89 h. Hemoglobin drop was 0.64 ± 0.28 g/dl. There were no complications. Hospital stay was 4.53 ± 1.24 days: 11 patients were discharged home, the remainder to rehabilitation. Conclusion TSA is associated with limited morbidity, early patient mobilization, short hospitalization.

    Abstract: Although patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for refractory cardiogenic shock are usually supported with mechanical ventilation, it is not clear whether sedation cessation and extubation might improve outcomes. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study with propensity score overlap weighting analysis. SETTING: Three ICUs in a 1,500-bed tertiary university hospital. PATIENTS: From an overall cohort of 641 patients with venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, the primary analysis was performed in 344 patients who had been successfully decannulated in order to reduce immortal time bias. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Seventy-five patients (22%) were extubated during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and were subsequently decannulated alive. Forty-nine percent received noninvasive ventilation, and 25% had emergency reintubation for respiratory, neurologic, or hemodynamic reasons. Higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II at admission (odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI [0.95–0.99]; p = 0.008) was associated with a lower probability of extubation, whereas cannulation in cardiac surgery ICU (odds ratio, 3.14; 95% CI [1.21–8.14]; p = 0.018) was associated with an increased probability. Baseline characteristics were well balanced after propensity score overlap weighting. The number of ICU-free days within 30 days of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation was significantly higher among extubated patients compared with nonextubated patients (22 d [11–26 d] vs 18 d [7–25 d] , respectively; p = 0.036). There were no differences in other outcomes including ventilator-associated pneumonia (odds ratio, 0.96; 95% CI [0.51–1.82]; p = 0.90) and all-cause mortality within 30 days of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation (5% vs 17%; hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% CI [0.19–1.59]; p = 0.27). As a secondary analysis, outcomes were compared in the overall cohort of 641 venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation–supported patients. Results were consistent with the primary analysis as extubated patients had a higher number of ICU-free days (18 d [0–24 d] vs 0 d [0–18 d] , respectively; 〈 0.001) and a lower risk of death within 30 days of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation (hazard ratio, 0.45; 95% CI [0.29–0.71]; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Extubation during venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support is safe, feasible, and associated with greater ICU-free days.

    Abstract: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with severe aortic stenosis. The aim of this multicenter study was to describe clinical outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Methods and Results— The FRANCE 2 Registry included all patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation in France in 2010 and 2011. Patients were divided into 3 groups depending on systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) estimated in transthoracic echocardiography: group I, sPAP 〈 40 mm Hg (no PH); group II, sPAP 40 to 59 mm Hg (mild-to-moderate PH); and group III, sPAP ≥60 mm Hg (severe PH). Patients were followed up for 1 year. A total of 2435 patients whose pre–transcatheter aortic valve implantation sPAP was reported were included. A total of 845 were in group I (34.7%), 1112 in group II (45.7%), and 478 in group III (19.6%). Procedural success, early complications, and 30-day mortality were statistically similar across sPAP groups. One-year mortality was higher in groups II and III (group I, 22%; group II, 28%; and group III, 28%; P =0.032). Mild-to-moderate and severe PH were identified as an independent factor of all-cause mortality. The major adverse cardiovascular event rates did not differ according to sPAP. New York Health Association functional class improved significantly in all groups. Conclusions— PH (sPAP ≥40 mm Hg) in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation was associated with increased 1-year mortality especially when severe (sPAP ≥60 mm Hg) but not with increased 30-day mortality, and functional status was significantly improved regardless of PAP level.

    Abstract: Heart failure (HF) readmission is common post–transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Nonetheless, limited data are available regarding its predictors and clinical impact. This study evaluated the incidence, predictors, and impact of HF readmission within 1-year post-TAVR, and assessed the effects of the prescription of HF therapies at discharge on the risk of HF readmission and death. Methods: Patients included in the TAVR registry of a single expert center from 2009 to 2017 were analyzed. Competing-risk and Cox regressions were performed to identify predictors of HF readmission and death. Results: Among 750 patients, 102 (13.6%) were readmitted for HF within 1-year post-TAVR. Overall, 53 patients (7.1%) experienced late readmissions ( 〉 30 days post-TAVR), and 17 (2.3%) had multiple readmissions. In ≈30% of readmissions, no trigger could be identified. Predominant causes of readmissions were changes in medication/nonadherence and supraventricular arrhythmia. Independent predictors of HF readmission included diabetes mellitus, chronic lung disease, previous acute HF, grade III or IV aortic regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension both at discharge from the index hospitalization but not HF therapies. Overall, HF readmission did not significantly impact all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.36 [95% CI, 0.99–1.85] ). However, late (HR, 1.90 [95% CI, 1.30–2.78]) and multiple HF readmissions (HR, 2.10 [95% CI,1.17–3.76] ) were significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Prescription of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors at discharge was associated with a lower rate of all-cause mortality, especially among patients receiving doses of 25% to 〈 50% (HR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.48–0.94]) and 75% to 100% (HR, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.37–0.98] ) of the optimal daily dose. Conclusions: HF readmission is common within 1-year of TAVR. Late and multiple HF readmissions associate with an increased risk of long-term all-cause mortality. Baseline comorbidities (diabetes, chronic lung disease, previous acute HF) and echocardiographic findings at discharge (grade III or IV aortic regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension) identified patients at high risk of HF readmission.

    Abstract: Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a frequent and life-threatening cardiovascular disease for which there is currently no medical treatment available. To date, only 2 genes, LPA and PALMD , have been identified as causal for CAVS. We aimed to identify additional susceptibility genes for CAVS. Methods: A GWAS (genome-wide association study) meta-analysis of 4 cohorts, totaling 5115 cases and 354 072 controls of European descent, was performed. A TWAS (transcriptome-wide association study) was completed to integrate transcriptomic data from 233 human aortic valves. A series of post-GWAS analyses were performed, including fine-mapping, colocalization, phenome-wide association studies, pathway, and tissue enrichment as well as genetic correlation with cardiovascular traits. Results: In the GWAS meta-analysis, 4 loci achieved genome-wide significance, including 2 new loci: IL6 (interleukin 6) on 7p15.3 and ALPL (alkaline phosphatase) on 1p36.12. A TWAS integrating gene expression from 233 human aortic valves identified NAV1 (neuron navigator 1) on 1q32.1 as a new candidate causal gene. The CAVS risk alleles were associated with higher mRNA expression of NAV1 in valve tissues. Fine-mapping identified rs1800795 as the most likely causal variant in the IL6 locus. The signal identified colocalizes with the expression of the IL6 RNA antisense in various tissues. Phenome-wide association analyses in the UK Biobank showed colocalized associations between the risk allele at the IL6 lead variant and higher eosinophil count, pulse pressure, systolic blood pressure, and carotid artery procedures, implicating modulation of the IL6 pathways. The risk allele at the NAV1 lead variant colocalized with higher pulse pressure and higher prevalence of carotid artery stenosis. Association results at the genome-wide scale indicated genetic correlation between CAVS, coronary artery disease, and cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusions: Our study implicates 3 new genetic loci in CAVS pathogenesis, which constitute novel targets for the development of therapeutic agents.

    Abstract: No randomized study powered to compare balloon expandable (BE) with self expanding (SE) transcatheter heart valves (THVs) on individual end points after transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been conducted to date. Methods: From January 2013 to December 2015, the FRANCE-TAVI nationwide registry (Registry of Aortic Valve Bioprostheses Established by Catheter) included 12 141 patients undergoing BE-THV (Edwards, n=8038) or SE-THV (Medtronic, n=4103) for treatment of native aortic stenosis. Long term mortality status was available in all patients (median 20 months; interquartile range, 14 to 30). Patients treated with BE-THV (n=3910) were successfully matched 1:1 with 3910 patients treated with SE-THV by using propensity score (25 clinical, anatomical, and procedural variables) and by date of the procedure (within 3 months). The first coprimary outcome was ≥ moderate occurrence of paravalvular regurgitation or in-hospital mortality, or both. The second coprimary outcome was 2-year all-cause mortality. Results: In propensity–matched analyses, the incidence of the first coprimary outcome was higher with SE-THV (19.8%) compared with BE-THV (11.9%; relative risk, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.46–1.91]; P 〈 0.0001). Each component of the outcome was also higher in patients receiving SE-THV: ≥ moderate paravalvular regurgitation (15.5% versus 8.3%; relative risk, 1.90 [95% CI, 1.63–2.22]; P 〈 0.0001) and in hospital mortality (5.6% versus 4.2%; relative risk, 1.34 [95% CI, 1.07–1.66]; P =0.01). During follow up, all cause mortality occurred in 899 patients treated with SE-THV (2-year mortality, 29.8%) and in 801 patients treated with BE-THV (2-year mortality, 26.6%; hazard ratio, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.06–1.29]; P =0.003). Similar results were found using inverse probability of treatment weighting using propensity score analysis. Conclusion: The present study suggests that use of SE-THV was associated with a higher risk of paravalvular regurgitation and higher in-hospital and 2-year mortality compared with use of BE-THV. These data strongly support the need for a randomized trial sufficiently powered to compare the latest generation of SE-THV and BE-THV. Clinical Trial Registration: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov .
