Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for poor postoperative outcome after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR). The present study analyses the outcomes after TF-TAVR in patients with or without AF and identifies independent predictors for in-hospital mortality in clinical practice. Methods and Results Among all 57,050 patients undergoing isolated TF-TAVR between 2008 and 2016 in Germany, 44.2% of patients (n = 25,309) had AF. Patients with AF were at higher risk for unfavorable in-hospital outcome after TAVR. Including all baseline characteristics for a risk-adjusted comparison, AF was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality after TAVR. Among patients with AF, EuroSCORE, New York Heart Association classification class, or renal disease had only moderate effects on mortality, while the occurrence of postprocedural stroke or moderate to major bleeding substantially increased in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR] 3.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.61–4.30, p < 0.001 and OR 3.12, 95% CI 2.68–3.62, p < 0.001). However, the strongest independent predictor for in-hospital mortality among patients with AF was severe bleeding (OR 18.00, 95% CI 15.22–21.30, p < 0.001). Conclusion The present study demonstrates that the incidence of bleeding defines the in-hospital outcome of patients with AF after TF-TAVR. Thus, the periprocedural phase demands particular care in bleeding prevention.

Abstract Aims To assess gender differences in in-hospital mortality and 90-day readmission rates among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the USA. Methods and results Hospitalizations for TAVR were retrospectively identified in the National readmissions database (NRD) from 2012 to 2017. Gender based differences in in-hospital mortality and 90-day readmissions were explored using multivariable logistic regression models. During the study period, an estimated 171 361 hospitalizations for TAVR were identified, including 79 722 (46.5%) procedures in women and 91 639 (53.5%) in men. Unadjusted in-hospital mortality and 90-day all-cause readmissions were significantly higher for women compared with men (2.7% vs. 2.3%, P = 0.002; 25.1% vs. 24.1%, P = 0.012, respectively). After adjusting for baseline characteristics, women had 13% greater adjusted odds of in-hospital mortality [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.13, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02–1.26, P = 0.017], and 9% greater adjusted odds of 90-day readmission compared with men (aOR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.05–1.14, P &lt; 0.001). During the study period, there was a steady decrease in-hospital mortality (5.3% in 2012 to 1.6% in 2017; Ptrend &lt; 0.001) and 90-day (29.9% in 2012 to 21.7% in 2017; Ptrend &lt; 0.001) readmission rate in both genders. Conclusion In-hospital mortality and readmission rates for TAVR hospitalizations have decreased over time across both genders. Despite these improvements, women undergoing TAVR continue to have a modestly higher in-hospital mortality, and 90-day readmission rates compared with men. Given the expanding indications and use of TAVR, further research is necessary to identify the reasons for this persistent gap and design appropriate interventions.

Introduction: Short-term use of Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) has the potential to benefit the patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) who may be high-risk or suffer complications. The present study was conducted to address the contemporary use of MCS in TAVR procedures. Methods: The study included a total of 1794 TAVR procedures in the years 2011-2012 from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. Use of MCS was identified using ICD-9-CM codes. The patients were divided based on use of MCS devices. The primary outcome of the study was in-hospital mortality and the secondary outcomes were complications, length of stay (LOS) and cost. Multi-variate simple logistic regression models were used to identify independent predictors of the outcomes. Results: Out of total 1794 TAVR procedures, 190 (10.6 %) utilized a MCS device (MCS group) and 1,604 (89.4%) did not (non-MCS group). The use of MCS devices with TAVR was associated with increase in the in-hospital mortality (14.9% vs. 3.5%, p<0.01) with same results obtained in multi-variate models. The rates of complications were significantly higher in MCS group so as the mean length of stay (11.8±0.8 vs. 8.1±0.2 days, p<0.01) and cost ($68,997±3,656 vs. $55,878±653, p=0.03). Conclusion: Use of MCS in TAVR predicts increase in-hospital mortality, complications, LOS and cost of care.

Objective. To identify outcomes of patients undergoing emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and determine predictors of in-hospital mortality. Background. Emergency TAVR has emerged as a viable treatment strategy for patients with decompensated severe aortic stenosis and/or regurgitation; however, data on patients undergoing emergency TAVR are limited. Methods. All emergency TAVR procedures were identified from a single tertiary academic center between January 2015 and August 2018. Results. 31 patients underwent emergency TAVR due to cardiogenic shock (26 patients), electrical instability with incessant ventricular tachycardia (2 patients), severe refractory angina (2 patients), and decompensated heart failure with hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation (1 patient). Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) was used in 16 (51.6%). MCS initiation occurred immediately prior to TAVR in 10 patients and placed post-TAVR in 6 patients. 6 patients died before hospital discharge (in-hospital mortality 19.4%). 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 61.0% and 55.9%, respectively. Univariate predictors of in-hospital mortality were preprocedural pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) ≤1.8 (66.7% vs. 20.0%, p=0.01), intraprocedural cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (83.3% vs 4.0%, p≤0.001), acute kidney injury post-TAVR (80.0% vs. 4.2%, p≤0.001), initiation of dialysis post-TAVR (60.0% vs. 4.2%, p≤0.001), and MCS initiation post-TAVR (50.0% vs. 12.0%, p=0.03). MCS initiation before TAVR was associated with improved survival compared with post-TAVR initiation. Conclusion. Emergency TAVR in extreme risk patients with acute decompensated heart failure or cardiogenic shock secondary to severe aortic valve disease is associated with high in-hospital mortality rates. Careful patient selection taking into account right heart function, assessed by PAPi, and early utilization of MCS may improve survival following emergency TAVR.

Abstract Background and objectives Atrial fibrillation is a risk factor for poor post-operative outcome after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR). The present study analyses the outcomes after TF-TAVR in patients with or without atrial fibrillation (AF) and identifies independent predictors for in-hospital mortality in clinical practice. Methods and results Among all 57,050 patients undergoing isolated TF-TAVR between 2008 and 2016 in Germany, 44.2% of patients (n=25,309) had AF. Patients with AF were at higher risk for unfavorable outcome after TAVR. Including all baseline characteristics for a risk-adjusted comparison, AF was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality after TAVR. Among patients with AF, EuroSCORE, NYHA class or renal disease had only moderate effects on mortality, while the occurrence of post-procedural stroke substantially increased in-hospital mortality (OR 3.55, 95% CI 2.77–4.56, P&lt;0.001). However, the strongest independent predictor for in-hospital mortality among patients with AF was bleeding (OR 11.04, 95% CI 9.53–12.80, P&lt;0.001). Bleeding also was by far the strongest predictor for prolonged mechanical ventilation (OR 25.36, 95% CI 21.83–29.48, P&lt;0.001). Conclusions The present study demonstrates that the incidence of bleeding defines the early outcome of patients with AF after TF-TAVR. Thus, the peri-procedural phase demands particular care in anti-thrombotic regimen. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
