- Myocardial Fibrosis in Classical Low-Flow, Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis Insights From a Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Study(2019) ROSA, Vitor E. E.; RIBEIRO, Henrique B.; SAMPAIO, Roney O.; MORAIS, Thamara C.; ROSA, Marcela E. E.; PIRES, Lucas J. T.; VIEIRA, Marcelo L. C.; MATHIAS JR., Wilson; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; SANTIS, Antonio S. A. L. de; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo C.; ACCORSI, Tarso A. D.; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo M. A.; RODES-CABAU, Josep; PIBAROT, Philippe; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioBackground: Few data exist on the degree of interstitial myocardial fibrosis in patients with classical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS) and its association with left ventricular flow reserve (FR) on dobutamine stress echocardiography. This study sought to evaluate the diffuse interstitial fibrosis measured by T1 mapping cardiac magnetic resonance technique in LFLG-AS patients with and without FR. Methods: Prospective study including 65 consecutive patients (41 LFLG-AS [mean age, 67.1 +/- 8.4 years; 83% men] and 24 high-gradient aortic stenosis used as controls) undergoing dobutamine stress echocardiography to assess FR and cardiac magnetic resonance to determine the extracellular volume (ECV) fraction of the myocardium, indexed ECV (iECV) to body surface area and late gadolinium enhancement. Results: Interstitial myocardial fibrosis measured by iECV was higher in patients with LFLG-AS with and without FR as compared with high-gradient aortic stenosis (35.25 +/- 9.75 versus 32.93 +/- 11.00 versus 21.19 +/- 6.47 mL/m(2), respectively; P<0.001). However, both ECV and iECV levels were similar between LFLG-AS patients with and without FR (P=0.950 and P=0.701, respectively). Also, FR did not correlate significantly with ECV (r=-0.16, P=0.31) or iECV (r=0.11, P=0.51). Late gadolinium enhancement mass was also similar in patients with versus without FR but lower in high-gradient aortic stenosis (13.3 +/- 10.2 versus 10.5 +/- 7.5 versus 4.8 +/- 5.9 g, respectively; P=0.018). Conclusions: Patients with LFLG-AS have higher ECV, iECV, and late gadolinium enhancement mass compared with high-gradient aortic stenosis. Moreover, among patients with LFLG-AS, the degree of myocardial fibrosis was similar in patients with versus those without FR. These findings suggest that diffuse myocardial fibrosis may not be the main factor responsible for the absence of FR in LFLG-AS 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.
- Postoperative myocardial fibrosis assessment in aortic valvular heart diseases-a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study(2023) PIRES, Lucas T.; ROSA, Vitor E. E.; MORAIS, Thamara C.; BELLO, Juliana H. S. M.; FERNANDES, Joao R. C.; SANTIS, Antonio de; LOPES, Mariana P.; GUTIERREZ, Paulo S.; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; NOMURA, Cesar H.; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo M. A.; SAMPAIO, Roney O.; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioAims Left ventricular remodelling occurs during the chronic course of aortic regurgitation (AR) and aortic stenosis (AS), leading to myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis. Several studies have shown that extracellular volume fraction (ECV) and indexed extracellular volume (iECV) are important surrogate markers of diffuse myocardial fibrosis (MF). Postoperative data on these cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) extracellular expansion parameters for either AS or AR are scarce. This study aimed to demonstrate the postoperative changes that occur in diffuse MF, and the influence of preoperative MF on the reversal of LV remodelling, in patients with AR or AS. Methods and results Patients with severe AR or AS and indications for surgery were prospectively enrolled. Patients underwent pre- and postoperative CMR, and ECV and iECV were quantified. Data from 99 patients were analysed (32 with AR and 67 with AS). After surgery, the left ventricle mass index decreased in both groups (AR: 110 vs. 91 g/m(2); AS: 86 vs. 68 g/m(2), both P < 0.001). The late gadolinium enhancement fraction (AR: preoperative 1.9% vs. postoperative 1.7%, P = 0.575; AS: preoperative 2.4% vs. postoperative 2.4%, P = 0.615) and late gadolinium enhancement mass (AR: preoperative 3.8 g vs. postoperative 2.5 g, P = 0.635; AS: preoperative 3.4 g vs. postoperative 3.5 g, P = 0.575) remained stable in both groups. Preoperative iECV and ECV were greater in the AR group (iECV: 30 mL/m(2) vs. 22 mL/m(2), P = 0.001; ECV: 28.4% vs. 27.2%, P = 0.048). Indexed extracellular volume decreased after surgery in both groups (AR: 30-26.5 mL/m(2), AS: 22-18.2 mL/m(2), both P < 0.001); it was still greater in the AR group (AR: 26.5 mL/m(2) vs. AS: 18.2 mL/m(2), P < 0.001). Postoperative ECV remained stable in the AR group (preoperative 28.4% vs. postoperative 29.9%; P = 0.617) and increased in the AS group (preoperative 27.2% vs. postoperative 28.6%; P = 0.033). Conclusion Patients with both AR or AS presented reduction in iECV after surgery, unfolding the reversible nature of diffuse MF. In contrast to patients with AS, those with AR developed postoperative iECV regression with stable ECV, suggesting a balanced reduction in both intracellular and extracellular myocardial components.
- Clinical Profile and 30-Day Outcomes of Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve Undergoing Aortic Valve and/or Aorta Surgery(2022) KIRSCHBAUM, Marcelo; ROSA, Vitor Emer Egypto; SAMPAIO, Brunna Pileggi Azevedo; THEVENARD, Gabriela; QUINTANILHA, Nadia Romanelli; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo Cordeiro; SANTIS, Antonio de; ACCORSI, Tarso Duenhas; SAMPAIO, Roney Orismar; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioBackground: The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) affects 0.5 to 2% of the population and is associated with valve and aortic alterations. There is a lack of studies on the profile of these patients in the Brazilian population. Objective: To describe the profile of patients with BAV undergoing valve and/or aortic surgery in a tertiary cardiology center, in addition to the outcomes related to the intervention. Methods: Retrospective cohort including 195 patients (mean age 54 +/- 14 years, 73.8% male) diagnosed with BAV who underwent surgical approach (valvular and/or aorta) from 2014 to 2019. Clinical data, echocardiographic and tomographic studies were evaluated, as well as characteristics of the intervention and events in 30 days. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: We found a high prevalence of aortic aneurysm (56.5%), with a mean diameter of 46.9 +/- 10.2 mm. Major aortic regurgitation was found in 25.1% and major aortic stenosis in 54.9%. Isolated aortic valve surgery was performed in 48.2%, isolated aortic surgery in 6.7% and combined surgery in 45.1%. The 30-day mortality was 8.2%. In the multivariate analysis, the predictors of the combined outcome at 30 days (death, atrial fibrillation and reoperation) were age (OR 1.044, 95% CI 1.009-1.081, p =0.014) and left ventricular mass index (OR 1.009, 95% CI 1.000-1.018, p =0.044). Conclusion: Patients with BAV approached in our service have a higher incidence of aortopathy, with the additional need to evaluate the aorta with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
- EuroSCORE II and STS as mortality predictors in patients undergoing TAVI(2016) ROSA, Vitor Emer Egypto; LOPES, Antonio Sergio de Santis Andrade; ACCORSI, Tarso Augusto Duenhas; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo Cordeiro; SPINA, Guilherme Sobreira; SAMPAIO, Roney Orismar; PAIXAO, Milena Ribeiro; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo Maria; LEMOS NETO, Pedro Alvelves; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioIntroduction: the EuroSCORE II and STS are the most used scores for surgical risk stratification and indication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, its role as a tool for mortality prediction in patients undergoing TAVI is still unclear. Objective: to evaluate the performance of the EuroSCORE II and STS as predictors of in-hospital and 30-day mortality in patients undergoing TAVI. Methods: we included 59 symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis that underwent TAVI between 2010 and 2014. The variables were analyzed using Student's t-test and Fisher's exact test and the discriminative power was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) with a 95% confidence interval. Results: mean age was 81 +/- 7.3 years, 42.3% men. The mean EuroSCORE II was 7.6 +/- 7.3 % and STS was 20.7 +/- 10.3%. Transfemoral procedure was performed in 88.13%, transapical in 3.38% and transaortic in 8.47%. In-hospital mortality was 10.1% and 30-day mortality was 13.5%. Patients who died had EuroSCORE II and STS higher than the survivors (33.7 +/- 16.7 vs. 18.6 +/- 7.3% p=0,0001 for STS and 13.9 +/- 16.1 vs. 4.8 +/- 3.8% p=0.0007 for EuroSCORE II). The STS showed an AUC of 0.81 and the EuroSCORE II of 0.77 and there were no differences in the discrimination ability using ROC curves (p=0.72). Conclusion: in this cohort, the STS and EuroSCORE II were predictors of in-hospital and 30-days mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI.
