Abstract

Objectives

This study sought to evaluate the impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) on the risk of early-term mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Methods

Databases (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online [MEDLINE], Excerpta Medica dataBASE [EMBASE], Cochrane Controlled Trials Register [CENTRAL/CCTR], ClinicalTrials.gov, Scientific Electronic Library Online [SciELO], Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences [LILACS], and Google Scholar) were searched for studies published until February 2019. PPM after TAVI was defined as moderate if the indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) was between 0.85 cm2/m2 and 0.65 cm2/m2 and as severe if iEOA ≤ 0.65 cm2/m2.

Results

The search yielded 1,092 studies for inclusion. Of these, 18 articles were analyzed, and their data extracted. The total number of patients included who underwent TAVI was 71,106. The incidence of PPM after TAVI was 36.3% (25,846 with PPM and 45,260 without PPM). One-year mortality was not increased in patients with any PPM (odds ratio [OR] 1.021, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.979-1.065, P=0.338) neither in those with moderate PPM (OR 0.980, 95% CI 0.933-1.029, P=0.423). Severe PPM was separately associated with high risk (OR 1.109, 95% CI 1.041-1.181, P=0.001).

Conclusion

The presence of severe PPM after TAVI increased early-term mortality. Although moderate PPM seemed harmless, the findings of this study cannot not rule out the possibility of it being detrimental, since there are other registries that did not address this issue yet.

INTRODUCTION

Rationale

The idea of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM), firstly proposed by Rahimtoola et al.[1] and reintroduced by Pibarot et al.[2], provided the logical framework to select the proper prosthesis with the data of the indexed effective orifice area (iEOA), derived from the effective orifice area (EOA) of the prosthesis and the patient’s body surface area (BSA). Pibarot et al.[3] has proposed avoiding an iEOA lower than 0.85 cm2/m2 to prevent PPM, since the consequence of using prostheses with a small EOA relative to the BSA would be the obstruction of the outflow of the left ventricle, which would not favour the reverse remodeling of the hypertrophied left ventricle.

Our group published recently a meta-analysis[4] in order to evaluate the impact of PPM on the risk of perioperative, early-, mid-, and long-term mortality rates after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), showing increases in mortality of 49%, 46%, 36%, and 53%, respectively.

This time, we aimed to address the same issue in the scenario of PPM after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Objectives

We aimed to investigate whether PPM increases the risk for death after TAVI. This analysis was planned in accordance with current guidelines for performing comprehensive systematic reviews and meta-analysis, including the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)[5] guidelines.

METHODS

Eligibility Criteria

With the patient, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) strategy, studies were considered if: 1) the population comprised patients who underwent TAVI; 2) there was a group of patients who developed moderate PPM (with iEOA between 0.85 cm2/m2 and 0.65 cm2/m2) or severe PPM (iEOA ≤ 0.65 cm2/m2) after TAVI; 3) there was a control group of patients with non-significant/no PPM (iEOA > 0.85 cm2/m2); 4) outcomes included 1-year mortality rates; and 5) studies were retrospective, prospective, randomized, or non-randomized.

Information Sources

The following databases were used (until February 2019): Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE), Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (CENTRAL/CCTR), ClinicalTrials.gov, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), Google Scholar, and reference lists of relevant articles.

Search

We conducted the search with the following terms: "mismatch OR PPM OR patient-prosthesis mismatch OR prosthesis-patient mismatch" AND "AVR OR aortic valve replacement" AND “percutaneous OR transcatheter OR transluminal OR transarterial OR transapical OR transaortic OR transcarotid OR transsubclavian OR transaxillary OR transiliac OR transfemoral”.

Study Selection

The following steps were taken: 1) identification of titles of records through databases searching; 2) removal of duplicates; 3) screening and selection of abstracts; 4) assessment for eligibility through full-text articles; and 5) final inclusion in study. One reviewer followed steps 1 to 3. Two independent reviewers followed the step 4 and selected the studies. Inclusion or exclusion of studies was decided unanimously. When there was disagreement, a third reviewer made the final decision.

Data Items

The crude end points were 1-year mortality rates.

Data Collection Process

Two independent reviewers extracted the data. When there was disagreement about the data, a third reviewer checked them and made the final decision. From each study, we extracted patient’s characteristics, study design, and outcomes. When the data were not clearly available in the articles, we contacted the authors of the original articles by e-mail.

Summary Measures

The principal summary measures were odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and P-values (considered statistically significant when P<0.05) for death. The meta-analysis was completed with the software Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (version 2, Biostat, Inc., Englewood, New Jersey).

Synthesis of Results

Forest plots were generated for graphical presentations of clinical outcomes, and we performed the I2 test and χ2 test for the assessment of heterogeneity across the studies[3]. Inter-study heterogeneity was explored using the χ2 statistic, but the I2-value was calculated to quantify the degree of heterogeneity across the studies that could not be attributable to chance alone. When I2 was more than 50%, significant statistical heterogeneity was considered to be present. Each study was summarized by the OR, whose values were combined across studies using a weighted DerSimonian-Laird random effects model[7].

Risk of Bias Across Studies

To assess publication bias, a funnel plot was generated for each outcome, statistically assessed by Begg and Mazumdar’s test[8] and Egger’s test[9].

Sensitivity Analysis

We analyzed the pool data regarding the outcomes according to PPM severity (moderate or severe). We also investigated the influence of each study on the overall effect - by sequentially removing one study - in order to test the robustness of the main results, so that we could verify whether any study had an excessive influence on the overall results.

RESULTS

Study Selection

A total of 1,092 citations were identified, of which 116 studies were potentially relevant and retrieved as full-text. Seventeen publications[10-26] fulfilled our eligibility criteria. Interobserver reliability of study relevance was excellent (Kappa=0.85). Agreement for decisions related to study validity was very good (Kappa=0.86). The search strategy can be seen in Figure 1.

Study Characteristics

A total of 71,106 patients (moderate/severe PPM: 25,466 patients; non-significant/no PPM: 45,260 patients) were included from studies published from 2011 to 2019. The incidence of moderate/severe PPM after TAVI was 36.3% (moderate PPM: 24.5%; severe PPM: 11.8%). There were studies mostly from North America and Europe; none from Latin America. Most of the studies were observational (n=15, 83.3%), but all of the observational studies had some multivariate adjustment for possible confounders. All of the studies measured iEOA directly in each patient by Doppler echocardiography following TAVI. One-year mortality ranged in the studies from 1.9% to 19.5%.

Synthesis of Results (Looking into Moderate and Severe PPM as a Whole)

The OR for 1-year mortality in the “any PPM” group compared with the “non-significant/no PPM” group in each study is reported in Figure 2. There was evidence of low heterogeneity of treatment effect among the studies for 1-year mortality. The overall OR (95% CI) of 1-year mortality showed no statistically significant difference between the groups (random effect model: OR 1.021, 95% CI 0.979-1.065, P=0.338).

DISCUSSION

Summary of Evidence

To our knowledge, this is the largest meta-analysis of studies performed to date that provides additional value by demonstrating that patients with severe PPM have higher risk for 1-year mortality than those with non-significant/no PPM. We also observed that more than one third of the patients leave the operation room with significant PPM, having this aspect a negative impact. Moreover, mortality rates increased only with severe PPM, being moderate PPM not as harmful as severe PPM in terms of mortality rates.

PPM after TAVI - a Playground (for Problems) that Must Not Be Neglected and Should Be Avoided

These results have important clinical implications given that PPM is a potentially modifiable risk factor. Dayan et al.[27] explains the association of PPM and increase of mortality by the fact that the left ventricle function would be highly vulnerable to any residual afterload, which sometimes means poor regression of the left ventricle hypertrophy and poor improvement of symptoms.

The first step to avoid PPM after TAVI would be to predict the risk of PPM before the procedure. This can be achieved by calculating the predicted iEOA using the normal EOA for the anticipated model of transcatheter valve and the patient’s aortic annulus size, as suggested by Hahn et al.[28] As suggested by Pibarot and Clavel[3], if a risk of severe PPM is anticipated on the basis of the predicted iEOA, several strategies may be considered to prevent PPM, including: 1) overexpansion of the initially selected transcatheter valve; 2) selecting another type of transcatheter valve with larger EOA; or 3) fracturing the stent of the failed bioprosthesis in case of valve-in-valve procedure.

Surgeons must weigh up risks and benefits of these strategies, which is not yet well established and will have to be validated in future studies. Importantly, the prevention of PPM should not be achieved at the cost of more paravalvular regurgitation or lesser valve durability. For a given degree of severity, paravalvular regurgitation indeed has a greater impact than PPM on clinical outcomes. Pibarot and Clavel[3] suggest that this might be explained by the fact that patients undergoing TAVI generally have severe aortic stenosis and their left ventricle is, therefore, adapted to pressure overload, but not to volume overload.

SAVR with Aortic Root Enlargement (ARE) as an Option to Avoid Predicted PPM after TAVI

Haunschild et al.[29] performed a single-centre, retrospective, propensity-matched analysis of 4,120 patients receiving isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR), of whom 171 (4%) had concomitant ARE, between January 2005 and December 2015, in order to avoid PPM. Early mortality was not statistically significantly different, with 1.4% in the SAVR group and 1.8% in the ARE group. The authors concluded that ARE can be performed safely in experienced centres with no significant increase in the risk of early postoperative surgical complications and early mortality.

Sá et al.[30] carried out a meta-analytical study to evaluate the impact of surgical ARE on the perioperative outcomes of SAVR with 10 studies published from 2002 to 2018 and a total of 13,174 patients (SAVR with ARE: 2,819 patients; SAVR without ARE: 10,355 patients). The total rate of ARE was 21.4%, varying in the studies from 5.7% to 26.3%. The OR for perioperative mortality showed a statistically significant difference between the groups, with a higher risk in the “SAVR with ARE” group (OR 1.506, 95% CI 1.209-1.875, P<0.001) than in the “SAVR without ARE” group, but not when adjusted for isolated SAVR + ARE without any concomitant procedures, such as mitral valve surgery, coronary artery bypass surgery, etc. (OR 1.625, 95% CI 0.968-2.726, P=0.066). The “SAVR with ARE” group showed an overall lower risk of significant PPM (OR 0.472, 95% CI 0.295-0.756, P=0.002) and a higher overall difference in means of iEOA than the “SAVR without ARE” group.

Sutureless Valves as Another Option to Avoid Predicted PPM after TAVI

Usual aortic valve prostheses narrow the EOA due to their suturing ring. Sutureless valve prostheses, on the other hand, are stentless and offer the advantage of a larger EOA, hence low rates of PPM. Beckmann et al.[31] carried out a study with 128 patients to compare the perioperative and mid-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for aortic valve stenosis with a small annulus that received either conventional AVR with ARE (36 patients) or implantation of a sutureless valve (92 patients). Albeit comprised of older patients, the group that received sutureless valves had a 30-day mortality and survival rates comparable to those of the other group.

Risk of Bias and Limitations

There are inherent limitations with meta-analyses, including the use of cumulative data from summary estimates. Patient data were gathered from published data, not from individual patient follow-up. Access to individual patient data would have enabled us to conduct further subgroup analysis and propensity analysis to account for differences between the treatment groups. This meta-analysis included data from studies that reflect the “real world” but, on the other hand, are less limited by publication bias, treatment bias, confounders, and a certain tendency to overestimate treatment effects observed in the observational studies, since patient selection alters the outcome, and thus makes non-randomized studies less robust.

Moreover, considerable statistical heterogeneity was observed in one of the analyses, but we used the random-effects model to counterbalance this aspect. We must remind the readers of the fact that research with statistically significant results is more likely to be submitted to medical journals and published than work with null or non-significant results, being the former also more likely to appear more prominently in English, in high-impact journals. All of the aforementioned aspects lead to the appearance of publication biases, but, in this case, we cannot state that the impact of severe PPM on mortality rates observed in our study is due to bias, since we observed low risk of bias in the analyses.

CONCLUSION

This meta-analysis found out that severe PPM is associated with a significant increase in 1-year mortality rates after TAVI.
