Abstract

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of mitral regurgitation (MR) on outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the impact of TAVR on MR.Background Little is known of the influence of MR on outcomes after TAVR.Methods The outcomes of patients with mild or less (n = 319), moderate (n = 89), and severe (n = 43) MR were evaluated after TAVR at 2 Canadian centers.Results Patients with moderate or severe MR had a higher mortality rate than those with mild or less MR during the 30 days after TAVR (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.10; 95% confidence interval: 1.12 to 3.94; p = 0.02). However, the mortality rates after 30 days were similar (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.82; 95% confidence interval: 0.50 to 1.34; p = 0.42). One year after TAVR, moderate MR had improved in 58%, remained moderate in 17%, and worsened to severe in 1%, and 24% of patients had died. Severe MR had improved in 49% and remained severe in 16%, and 35% of patients had died. Multivariate predictors of improved MR at 1 year (vs. unchanged MR, worse MR, or death) were a mean transaortic gradient ≥ 40 mm Hg, functional (as opposed to structural) MR, the absence of pulmonary hypertension, and the absence of atrial fibrillation.Conclusions Moderate or severe MR in patients undergoing TAVR is associated with a higher early, but not late, mortality rate. At 1-year follow-up, MR was improved in 55% of patients with moderate or severe MR at baseline. Improvement was more likely in patients with high transaortic gradients, with functional MR, without pulmonary hypertension and without atrial fibrillation.

  • In patients with considerable associated mitral or tricuspid regurgitation, it is unclear whether concomitant surgical repair at the time of aortic valve replacement improves clinical outcomes.

    “In patients with considerable associated mitral or tricuspid regurgitation, it is unclear whether concomitant surgical repair of the mitral or tricuspid valve at the time of AVR would improve clinical outcomes242;243.”

    From Calcific aortic stenosis (2016) · cites this paper as [242]

    The Survival section (p. 2073) reports increased postoperative morbidity and mortality with combined mitral and aortic valve surgery, and conflicting findings about the effects of leaving moderate mitral regurgitation untreated during surgical aortic valve replacement. This supports uncertainty about the clinical benefit of concomitant mitral repair, but the paper does not address concomitant tricuspid repair. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
