Abstract:
Objective To discuss the clinical value of echocardiographic indicators in assessing the short-term efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)and surgical aortic valve replacement(SAVR)in treating patients with severe aortic valve stenosis(AS).Methods The clinical data of 70 patients with severe AS,who received treatment at the Daping Hospital of Army Military Medical University of China between June 2019 and September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into SAVR group(n=40)and TAVR group(n=30).The preoperative one-week and postoperative one-month echocardiographic indicators were compared between the two groups.Results In both groups,the postoperative one-month peak aortic valve velocity(Vmax),aortic valve mean transvalvular pressure gradient(mPG),relative thickness of chamber wall(RWT),and left ventricular mass index(LVMI)were decreased when compared with preoperative values(all P<0.05);in TAVR group the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),LVMI and incidence of perivalvular leakage were remarkably higher than those in SAVR group,while the Vmax and mPG were obviously lower than those in SAVR group(all P<0.05).In TAVR group,the mitral regurgitation decreased from preoperative 12 patients(40%)to postoperative 2 patients(6.7%)and the over-moderate tricuspid regurgitation decreased from preoperative 7 patients(23.3%)to postoperative one patient(3.3%)(all P<0.05).In SAVR group,the mitral regurgitation decreased from preoperative 15 patients(37.5%)to postoperative 2 patients(5.0%)and the over-moderate tricuspid regurgitation decreased from preoperative 9 patients(22.5%)to postoperative one patient(2.5%)(all P<0.05).The pulmonary artery hypertension in TAVR group decreased from preoperative 17 patients(56.7%)to postoperative 4 patients(13.3%),which in SAVR group decreased from preoperative 22 patients(55.0%)to postoperative 5 patients(12.5%)(P<0.05),but the differences in the above indexes between the two groups were not statistically significant(all P>0.05).Conclusion TAVR and SAVR have similar efficacy in improving secondary valve regurgitation and pulmonary artery hypertension caused by severe AS.TAVR is superior to SAVR in improving postoperative ventricular reverse remodeling and hemodynamics,although the incidence of paravalvular leakage in TAVR is higher than that in SAVR.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:479-482)
