Background (1) • Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the recommended treatment for “inoperable” patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), based upon 1-year results of The PARTNER Trial which demonstrated reduced mortality and improved quality of life. • However, whether clinical benefit and valve performance are sustained beyond two years is unknown and longer term outcomes will importantly alter clinical practice decisions.
Objectives • To evaluate the clinical outcomes of TAVR compared to standard therapy at 3 years in “inoperable” aortic stenosis patients. • To assess valve hemodynamics and durability using echocardiography. • To perform subgroup analyses to better define the impact of co-morbidities on outcomes.
PARTNER Study Design Symptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis Inoperable n = 358 ASSESSMENT: Transfemoral Access 1:1 Randomization Standard Therapy n = 179 TF TAVR n = 179 VS Primary Endpoint: All-Cause Mortality Over Length of Trial (Superiority) • Primary endpoint evaluated when all patients reached one year follow-up. • After primary endpoint analysis reached, patients were allowed to cross-over to TAVR.
Inclusion Criteria • Severe calcific aortic stenosis defined as echo derived valve area of < 0.8 cm2 (EOA index < 0.5 cm2/m2), and mean gradient > 40 mmHg or jet velocity > 4.0 m/s. • NYHA functional class ≥ II • Inoperable defined as risk of death or serious irreversible morbidity of AVR as assessed by cardiologist and two surgeons exceeding 50%.
Key End-Points for 3 Year Analysis • All cause mortality • Cardiac mortality • Rehospitalization • Adverse outcomes including stroke, bleeding, renal failure, and MI • NYHA functional class • Days alive and out of hospital • Echo-derived valve areas, transvalvular gradients, and paravalvular aortic regurgitation • Mortality outcomes stratified by STS score
Study FlowInoperable Cohort n = 358 Randomized Inoperable • *One TAVR patient was alive and censored prior to the window • **Two TAVR patients were alive and censored prior to the window (including the one in the same status at 2 years); one TAVR patient withdrew between 2 and 3 years • No patients were lost to follow-up n = 179 Standard Therapy n = 179 TAVR 85/85 patients 100% followed at 1 Yr 124/124 patients 100% followed at 1 Yr Cross over 11 pts 46/46 patients 100% followed at 2 Yr 101/102 patients* 99.0% followed at 2 Yr Cross over 9 pts 19/19 patients 100% followed at 3 Yr 80/82 patients** 97.6% followed at 3 Yr
Statistical Method • Primary analysis was by “intention-to-treat” (ITT). • Clinical outcomes were analyzed by ITT with censoring of Standard Rx cross-over patients. • Additional analysis of death was performed by following cross-over patients with their randomized trial arms. • Event rates are given as Kaplan-Meier estimates. • Core lab echo results are presented from the valve implant population (valve retained in position).

Conclusions (1) • At 3 years follow-up benefits of TAVR were sustained as measured by: • All cause mortality • Cardiovascular mortality • Repeat hospitalization • Functional status • Valve durability was demonstrated with no increase in transvalvular gradient or attrition of valve area. • Detailed analysis of all randomized inoperable patients showed consistent results for all outcomes.
Conclusions (2) • Survival benefit of TAVR is dependent on the presence of comorbid illness. • Without TAVR, mortality is similar irrespective of comorbid illness.
Clinical Implications • Three year data continue to support the role of TAVR as the standard-of-care for symptomatic patients with aortic stenosis who are not surgical candidates. • These data underscore the importance of patient selection before TAVR and the need for aggressive management of illnesses after TAVR.
