Bioprosthetic surgical valves are increasingly implanted during cardiac surgery, instead of mechanical valves. These tissue valves are associated with limited durability and as a result transcatheter valve-in-valve procedures are performed to treat failed bioprostheses. A relatively common adverse event of aortic valve-in-valve procedures is residual stenosis. Larger surgical valve size, supra-annular transcatheter heart valve type, as well as higher transcatheter heart valve implantation depth, have all been shown to reduce the incidence of elevated post-procedural gradients. With greater understanding of technical considerations and surgical planning, valve-invalve procedures could be more effective and eventually may become the standard of care for our increasingly ageing and comorbid population with failed surgical bioprostheses.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is effective in treating severe aortic stenosis in inoperable or high-risk surgical patients, however, the little is known about outcomes after Sapien 3 20 mm transcatheter heart valve (THV) implantation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the short term outcomes of Sapien 3 20 mm THV implantation in Japanese people with a small body size. Methods: We retrospectively collected the hospital records of consecutive patients who underwent TAVI using the Sapien 3 20 mm THV between October 2016 and March 2017. Clinical and echocardiographic data from before and one week after TAVI were collected. Results: Six Japanese patients (all female, mean age 89 ± 5 years, body surface area [BSA] 1.29 ± 0.16m2) received a Sapien 3 20 mm THV. All the procedures were feasible and successful, and the 30-day mortality rate was 0%. The functional class and the echocardiographic findings significantly improved (aortic valve area, 0.5 ± 0.1 cm2 to 0.8 ± 0.1cm2; mean pressure gradient, 55 ± 15 mmHg to 19 ± 7 mmHg; P = .043, respectively). However, the values of the indexed effective orifice area in all patients after Sapien 3 20 mm THV implantation were less than 0.85 cm2/m2, suggesting prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM). Conclusions: The implantation of a Sapien 3 20 mm THV was safe and effective in high surgical risk elderly Japanese patients with a small body size. PPM after Sapien 3 20mm THV may be prevalent among Asians with small body sizes. Careful clinical follow-up will be necessary after Sapien 3 20 mm THV implantation.

Cerebral embolic protection (CEP) devices aim to reduce the risk of periprocedural cerebrovascular events during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Here, the authors describe the first-in-human experience with the ProtEmbo Cerebral Protection System (Protembis), a next-generation CEP device, during TAVI. This case is part of a larger European trial evaluating the safety and performance of this device. After deployment of the ProtEmbo in the aortic arch, a first transcatheter heart valve was implanted. Despite postdilatation, moderate to severe aortic regurgitation persisted. The operating team decided to perform a valve-in-valve procedure using a second transcatheter heart valve. The ProtEmbo demonstrated good coverage of all three head vessels and no interaction with TAVI catheters in the aortic arch throughout the entire procedure. No adverse events were observed during hospitalisation or follow-up, and there was a significant reduction in aortic regurgitation at follow-up echocardiography. Despite a challenging overall procedure with presumably high embolic burden, diffusion-weighted MRI at follow-up showed a low number (n=3) and volume (156 mm3) of new hyperintense lesions. The first-in-human use of the ProtEmbo was safe and feasible, despite a challenging TAVI valve-in-valve procedure.
