  3. Background • Surgical AVR is the standard of care for symptomatic aortic stenosis • Survival after TAVR is superior compared to medical therapy in inoperable patients, and is non-inferior to that after AVR in high-risk operative candidates, but neurological complications occur more frequently after TAVR • No randomized trial comparing TAVR and AVR focusing on neurological events has been performed

  11. Purpose • Analyze stroke and TIA after TAVR and surgical AVR in high-risk (≈15%, floor= STS 8-9%), operable patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis in the PARTNER Trial • “As Treated” (AT) patients n= 657 (vs. ITT) • Captured all neurological events at all times • Prospective, independent, blinded adjudication of adverse neurological events by CEC, supplemented by CEC retrospective assessment of stroke severity • Unblinded re-review of all CEC summaries and source documents by 2 investigators (DCM, MJM)

  36. Conclusions • Remarkably low 30 day mortality rates in these elderly, very high-risk AS patients in both arms of study • AVR= 8% (O:E= 0.68) TAVR= 5.2% (O:E= 0.42) p= .15 • TF- AVR= 8.2% TAVR= 3.7% p= 0.05 • Prospective, independently adjudicated 30 day neurological event rates (stroke and TIA) were low • AVR= 2.6% TAVR= 5.6% p= .05 • TF- AVR= 1.4% TAVR= 4.6% p= .04 • Major stroke rates at 30 days were even lower • AVR= 2.3% TAVR= 3.8% p= .25 • TF- AVR= 1.4% TAVR= 2.5% p= .37

  37. Conclusions • Incremental risk factors for neurological events • Early peaking high hazard phase: • TAVR • Smaller AVA index (TAVR group only) • Later constant hazard phase: • Generalized heavy arteriosclerotic burden (“non-TF TAVR candidate”) • Stroke/TIA within 6-12 months • Higher NYHA class

  38. Conclusions • Higher observed incidence of neurological events in the “non-TF candidate” stratum reflected the patient substrate, and was not related to the TA-TAVR or AVR procedures per se

  39. Conclusions • Taking competing hazard of death into consideration, the likelihood of a neurologic event was lowest in AVR patients and highest in TA-TAVR group • A neurologic event raised the risk of mortality • In AVR group: High peak, quickly returning to baseline hazard • In TAVR groups: After initial peak, risk remained elevated throughout the 24 months of follow-up, particularly in TA stratum

  40. Limitations • These results can only be interpreted within the constraints of the PARTNER Trial protocol: • Carefully controlled patient selection • Regimented training and proctoring • Critical case monitoring and review • Dedicated multi-disciplinary “Heart Valve Team” in these 26 centers • “TF first” protocol philosophy and TAVR sheath sizes available • Learning curve, first generation TAVR device • Not adequately powered for TF vs. TA comparison

  43. InferencesCan TAVR stroke rate be lowered? • EARLY HIGH HAZARD PHASE • Peri-procedural anticoagulation management • Clopidogrel load, + dual antiplatelet Rx • Warfarin or dabigatran Rx • No protamine reversal (TF) • Bridge AF patients with heparin • Cerebral embolic prevention devices • Newer low profile THV deployment systems • Carotid compression during BAV, THV deployment • LATE CONSTANT HAZARD PHASE • More rigorous patient selection (TA)

Able to carry out all usual activities, despite some symptoms • Major • 2- Slight disability. Able to look after own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities. • 3- Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted. • 4- Moderately severe disability. Unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, and unable to walk unassisted. • 5- Severe disability.
