M.; ROSA, Vitor Emer Egypto; SAMPAIO, Roney Orismar; SOARES, Frederico Jose Mendes Mendonca; LOPES, Rener Romulo Souza; NAZZETTA, Daniella Cian; JR, Fabio Sandoli de Brito; RIBEIRO, Henrique Barbosa; VIEIRA, Marcelo L. C.; JR, Wilson Mathias; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo Cordeiro; LOPES, Mariana Pezzute; ROCHITTE, Carlos E. E.; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo M. A.; ABIZAID, Alexandre; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioIntroductionClassical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS) is an advanced stage of aortic stenosis, which has a poor prognosis with medical treatment and a high operative mortality after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). There is currently a paucity of information regarding the current prognosis of classical LFLG-AS patients undergoing SAVR and the lack of a reliable risk assessment tool for this particular subset of AS patients. The present study aims to assess mortality predictors in a population of classical LFLG-AS patients undergoing SAVR.MethodsThis is a prospective study including 41 consecutive classical LFLG-AS patients (aortic valve area & LE;1.0 cm(2), mean transaortic gradient <40 mmHg, left ventricular ejection fraction <50%). All patients underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE), 3D echocardiography, and T1 mapping cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Patients with pseudo-severe aortic stenosis were excluded. Patients were divided into groups according to the median value of the mean transaortic gradient (& LE;25 and >25 mmHg). All-cause, intraprocedural, 30-day, and 1-year mortality rates were evaluated.ResultsAll of the patients had degenerative aortic stenosis, with a median age of 66 (60-73) years; most of the patients were men (83%). The median EuroSCORE II was 2.19% (1.5%-4.78%), and the median STS was 2.19% (1.6%-3.99%). On DSE, 73.2% had flow reserve (FR), i.e., an increase in stroke volume & GE;20% during DSE, with no significant differences between groups. On CMR, late gadolinium enhancement mass was lower in the group with mean transaortic gradient >25 mmHg [2.0 (0.0-8.9) g vs. 8.5 (2.3-15.0) g; p = 0.034), and myocardium extracellular volume (ECV) and indexed ECV were similar between groups. The 30-day and 1-year mortality rates were 14.6% and 43.8%, respectively. The median follow-up was 4.1 (0.3-5.1) years. By multivariate analysis adjusted for FR, only the mean transaortic gradient was an independent predictor of mortality (hazard ratio: 0.923, 95% confidence interval: 0.864-0.986, p = 0.019). A mean transaortic gradient & LE;25 mmHg was associated with higher all-cause mortality rates (log-rank p = 0.038), while there was no difference in mortality regarding FR status (log-rank p = 0.114).ConclusionsIn patients with classical LFLG-AS undergoing SAVR, the mean transaortic gradient was the only independent mortality predictor in patients with LFLG-AS, especially if & LE;25 mmHg. The absence of left ventricular FR had no prognostic impact on long-term outcomes.
- Função diastólica na estenose aórtica. Correlação com NT-ProBNP e remodelamento pós-operatório(2013) BOER, Berta Paula Napchan; VIEIRA, Marcelo Luiz Campos; SAMPAIO, Roney Orismar; ABENSUR, Henry; OLIVEIRA, Alessandra Gomes de; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo; GRINBERG, MaxBackground: Few data are available on diastolic function in patients with aortic stenosis (AOS) with indication of surgical treatment. A potential correlation between biomarkers and diastolic function has not been established. Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate diastolic function in patients with AOS waiting for aortic valve replacement (AVR) echocardiographically, and to verify its correlation with serum brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Methods: Thirty-one AOS patients (11 male), 21 to 81 years old (mean age, 61 +/- 15 years old) were studied before and after AVR. Diastolic function was assessed with Doppler methods: transvalvar mitral flow, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and pulmonary venous Doppler (PVD), correlating with serum brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) before and 6 months after AVR. Results: Comparing pre to post-operative period, we observed an increase of the left atrial ejection fraction and isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT), and the decrease of the mitral velocity to early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus ratio (E/E'), the difference between the pulmonary A wave duration and mitral A duration, left atrial systolic volume, left atrial systolic volume index, left ventricular diastolic diameter, left ventricular systolic diameter, end diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular mass index, left ventricular volume and mass index ratio. The values of NT-proBNP were positively correlated to diastolic dysfunction, both before and after surgery. Conclusion: AOS patients' ventricular diastolic function improved after AVR. The biomarker NT-proBNP might be a useful biomarker of diastolic function in these patients, before and after AVR. NT-proBNP values show a positive correlation with echocardiographic variables that determine diastolic dysfunction, and is a good marker for the characterization of this dysfunction in AOS patients.
- Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Procedures for Bioprosthetic Valve Dysfunction in Patients With Rheumatic vs. Non-Rheumatic Valvular Heart Disease(2021) LOPES, Mariana Pezzute; ROSA, Vitor Emer Egypto; PALMA, Jose Honorio; VIEIRA, Marcelo Luiz Campos; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo Cordeiro; SANTIS, Antonio de; SPINA, Guilherme Sobreira; FONSECA, Rafael de Jesus; MARCHI, Mauricio F. de Sa; ABIZAID, Alexandre; BRITO, Fabio Sandoli de; TARASOUTCHI, Flavio; SAMPAIO, Roney Orismar; RIBEIRO, Henrique BarbosaBackground: Bioprosthetic heart valve has limited durability and lower long-term performance especially in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients that are often subject to multiple redo operations. Minimally invasive procedures, such as transcatheter valve-in-valve (ViV) implantation, may offer an attractive alternative, although data is lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes in rheumatic vs. non-rheumatic patients undergoing ViV procedures for severe bioprosthetic valve dysfunction. Methods: Single center, prospective study, including consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter ViV implantation in aortic, mitral and tricuspid position, from May 2015 to September 2020. RHD was defined according to clinical history, previous echocardiographic and surgical findings. Results: Among 106 patients included, 69 had rheumatic etiology and 37 were non-rheumatic. Rheumatic patients had higher incidence of female sex (73.9 vs. 43.2%, respectively; p = 0.004), atrial fibrillation (82.6 vs. 45.9%, respectively; p < 0.001), and 2 or more prior surgeries (68.1 vs. 32.4%, respectively; p = 0.001). Although, device success was similar between groups (75.4 vs. 89.2% in rheumatic vs. non-rheumatic, respectively; p = 0.148), there was a trend toward higher 30-day mortality rates in the rheumatic patients (21.7 vs. 5.4%, respectively; p = 0.057). Still, at median followup of 20.7 [5.1-30.4] months, cumulative mortality was similar between both groups (p = 0.779). Conclusion: Transcatheter ViV implantation is an acceptable alternative to redo operations in the treatment of patients with RHD and severe bioprosthetic valve dysfunction. Despite similar device success rates, rheumatic patients present higher 30 day mortality rates with good mid-term clinical outcomes. Future studies with a larger number of patients and follow-up are still warranted, to firmly conclude on the role transcatheter ViV procedures in the RHD population.

- Heyde's Syndrome: Therapeutic Strategies and Long-Term Follow-Up(2021) ROSA, Vitor Emer Egypto; RIBEIRO, Henrique Barbosa; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo Cordeiro; SANTIS, Antonio de; SPINA, Guilherme Sobreira; PAIXAO, Milena Ribeiro; PIRES, Lucas Jose Tachotti; BETTEGA, Marcelo; ACCORSI, Tarso Augusto Duenhas; SAMPAIO, Roney Orismar; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioBackground: Heyde's syndrome is the association of severe aortic stenosis with episodes of gastrointestinal due to angiodysplastic lesion. Little is known about the factors associated with new episodes of bleeding and long-term outcomes. Furthermore, most data are restricted to case reports and small case series. Objective: To assess the clinical, laboratory and echocardiography profile of patients with Heyde's syndrome who underwent valve intervention or drug therapy. Methods: Prospective cohort of 24 consecutive patients from 2005 to 2018. Clinical, laboratory and echocardiography data were assessed, as well as those related to valve intervention and to outcomes after diagnosis. Statistical significance was set p < 0.05. Results: Half of the 24 patients (50%) presented with bleeding requiring blood transfusion on admission. Angiodysplasias were more frequently found in the ascending colon (62%). Valve intervention (surgical or transcatheter) was performed in 70.8% of the patients, and 29.2% remained on drug therapy. News episodes of bleeding occurred in 25% of the cases, and there was no difference between clinical and intervention groups (28.6 vs 23.5%, p = 1.00; respectively). Mortality at 2-year and 5-year follow-up was 16% and 25%, with no difference between the groups (log-rank p = 0.185 and 0.737, respectively). Conclusions: Patients with Heyde's syndrome had a high rate of bleeding requiring blood transfusion on admission, suggesting that is a severe disease with high mortality risk. No difference was found between the groups subjected to clinical treatment and to valve intervention with regard to rates of rebleeding and late mortality.
- Rheumatic Myocarditis: A Poorly Recognized Etiology of Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Valvular Heart Disease Patients(2021) ROSA, Vitor Emer Egypto; LOPES, Mariana Pezzute; SPINA, Guilherme Sobreira; SOARES JUNIOR, Jose; SALAZAR, David; ROMERO, Cristhian Espinoza; LOTTENBERG, Marcos Pita; SANTIS, Antonio de; PIRES, Lucas Jose Neves Tachotti; GONCALVES, Luis Fernando Tonello; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo Cordeiro; SAMPAIO, Roney Orismar; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioBackground: Heart failure occurs in similar to 10% of patients with acute rheumatic fever (RF), and several studies have shown that cardiac decompensation in RF results primarily from valvular disease and is not due to primary myocarditis. However, the literature on this topic is scarce, and a recent case series has shown that recurrent RF can cause ventricular dysfunction even in the absence of valvular heart disease. Methods: The present study evaluated the clinical, laboratory and imaging characteristics of 25 consecutive patients with a clinical diagnosis of myocarditis confirmed by 18F-FDG PET/CT or gallium-67 cardiac scintigraphy and RF reactivation according to the revised Jones Criteria. Patients underwent three sequential echocardiograms at (1) baseline, (2) during myocarditis and (3) post corticosteroid treatment. Patients were divided according to the presence (Group 1) or absence (Group 2) of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during myocarditis episodes. Results: The median age was 42 (17-51) years, 64% of patients were older than 40 years, and 64% were women. Between Group 1 (n = 16) and in Group 2 (n = 9), there were no demographic, echocardiographic or laboratory differences except for NYHA III/IV heart failure (Group 1: 100.0% vs. Group 2: 50.0%; p = 0.012) and LVEF (30 [25-37] vs. 56 [49-62]%, respectively; p < 0.001), as expected. Group 1 patients showed a significant reduction in LVEF during carditis with further improvement after treatment. There was no correlation between LVEF and valvular dysfunction during myocarditis. Among all patients, 19 (76%) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT, with a positive scan in 68.4%, and 21 (84%) underwent gallium-67 cardiac scintigraphy, with positive uptake in 95.2%, there was no difference between these groups. Conclusion: Myocarditis due to rheumatic fever reactivation can cause left ventricular dysfunction despite valvular disease, and it is reversible after corticosteroid treatment.
