ABSTRACT Introduction and objectives: Nonagenarians are a fast-growing age group among cardiovascular patients, especially with aortic stenosis, but data about their prognosis after transcatheter ...aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is scarce. The objective of our study is to analyze the baseline characteristics of nonagenarians treated with TAVI and determine whether age ≥ 90 years is associated with a worse prognosis compared to non-nonagenarian patients. Methods: We included all patients ≥75 years enrolled in the multicenter prospective Spanish TAVI registry between 2009 and 2018. Patients < 75 years were excluded. Results: A total of 8073 elderly patients (≥ 75 years) from 46 Spanish centers were enrolled in the Spanish TAVI registry; 7686 were between ≥ 75 and < 90 years old (95.2%), and 387 were nonagenarian patients (4.79%). A gradual increase of nonagenarians was observed. The transfemoral access was used in 91.6% of the cases, predominantly among the nonagenarian patients (91.4% vs 95.1%, P = .01). Nonagenarians were more likely to die during their hospital stay (4.3% vs 7.0% among nonagenarians, P = .01). However, no difference was seen in the all-cause mortality rates reported at the 1-year follow-up (8.8% vs 11.3%, P =.07). In the multivariate analysis, age ≥ 90 years was not independently associated with a higher adjusted all-cause mortality rate (HR, 1.37, 95%CI, 0.91-1.97, P = .14). The baseline creatinine levels, and the in-hospital bleeding complications were all associated with a worse long-term prognosis in nonagenarians treated with TAVI. Conclusions: Nonagenarians are a very high-risk and growing population with severe AS in whom TAVI may be a safe and effective strategy. Careful patient selection by the TAVI heart team is mandatory to achieve maximum efficiency in this population where the baseline kidney function and bleeding complications may determine the long-term prognosis after TAVI.
Recent randomized data comparing percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) versus optimal medical treatment in patients with functional MR (FMR) seemed to highlight the importance of the learning curve ...not only for procedural outcomes but also for patient selection. The aim of the study was to compare a contemporary series of patients undergoing PMVR using a second-generation Mitraclip device (Mitraclip NT) with previous cohorts treated with a first-generation system.
This multicenter study collected individual data from 18 centers between 2012 and 2017. The cohort was divided into three groups according to the use of the first-generation Mitraclip during the first (control-1) or second half (control-2) or the Mitraclip NT system.
A total of 545 consecutive patients were included in the study. Among all, 182 (33.3%), 183 (33.3%), and 180 (33.3%) patients underwent mitral repair in the control-1, control-2, and NT cohorts, respectively. Procedural success was achieved in 93.3% of patients without differences between groups. Major adverse events did not statistically differ among groups, but there was a higher rate of pericardial effusion in the control-1 group (4.3%, 0.6%, and 2.6%, respectively;
= 0.025). The composite endpoint of death, surgery, and admission for congestive heart failure (CHF) at 12 months was lower in the NT group (23.5% in control-1, 22.5% in control-2, and 8.3% in the NT group;
= 0.032).
The present paper shows that contemporary clinical outcomes of patients undergoing PMVR with the Mitraclip system have improved over time.
ABSTRACT Introduction and objectives: This study primary endpoint was to present the in-hospital all-cause mortality of the Spanish TAVI registry from its inception until 2018. Secondary endpoints ...included other in-hospital clinical events, 30-day all-cause mortality, and an assessment of the time trend of this registry. Methods: All consecutive patients included in the Spanish TAVI registry were analyzed. In this time-based analysis, the population was been divided into patients treated before 2014 (cohort A: 2009-2013) and patients treated between 2014 and 2018 (cohort B). Results: From August 2007 to June 2018, 7180 patients were included. The mean age was 81.2 ± 6.5 years and 53% were women. The logistic EuroSCORE was 12% (8-20). Transfemoral access was used in 89%. In-hospital and 30-day all-cause mortality was 4.7% and 5.7%, respectively. On the time-based analyses during the hospital stay, the rate of myocardial infarction, stroke, need for pacemakers, tamponade, coronary obstruction, and vascular complications was similar between both groups. However, cohort B showed less need for conversion to surgery and malapposition of the valve. Also, the implant success rate increased from 93% to 96% (P< .001). In-hospital and 30-day all-cause mortality was significantly lower in cohort B, (OR, 0.65; IC95%, 0.48-0.86; P= .003 and OR, 0.71; IC95%, 0.54-0.92; P= .002, respectively). Conclusions: The time trend analysis of the Spanish TAVI registry showed a change in the patients’ clinical profile and an improvement in the in-hospital clinical outcomes and 30-day all-cause mortality in patients treated more recently.

Introducción y objetivos: Los nonagenarios son un grupo de edad en rápido crecimiento entre los pacientes cardiovasculares, en especial con estenosis aórtica, pero los datos sobre su pronóstico después de la implantación transcatéter de válvula aórtica (TAVI) son escasos. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las características basales de los nonagenarios tratados con TAVI y determinar si la edad "65; 90 años está relacionada con un peor pronóstico en comparación con los pacientes no nonagenarios.
Métodos: Se incluyó a todos los pacientes "65; 75 años inscritos en el registro prospectivo multicéntrico español de TAVI entre 2009 y 2018. Se excluyó a aquellos < 75 años.
Resultados: Se inscribieron en el registro español de TAVI 8.073 pacientes "65; 75 años de 46 centros de España; 7.686 de > 75 a 90 años (95,2%) y 387 nonagenarios (4,79%). Se observó un aumento progresivo de los nonagenarios. El acceso transfemoral se utilizó en el 91,6% de los casos, predominantemente en los nonagenarios (91,4 frente a 95,1%; p = 0,01). Los nonagenarios tenían más probabilidades de morir durante la hospitalización (4,3 frente a 7,0%; p = 0,01). Sin embargo, no hubo diferencia en la tasa de mortalidad por cualquier causa al año de seguimiento (8,8 frente a 11,3%; p = 0,07). En el análisis multivariable, la edad "65; 90 años no se asoció de forma independiente con un aumento de la mortalidad por cualquier causa ajustada (HR = 1,37; IC95%, 0,91-1,97; p = 0,14). La creatinina basal y las complicaciones hemorrágicas intrahospitalarias se asociaron a un peor pronóstico a largo plazo en pacientes nonagenarios tratados con TAVI.
Conclusiones: Los nonagenarios son una población creciente y de muy alto riesgo, con estenosis aórtica grave, para quienes la TAVI podría representar una estrategia segura y efectiva. Una cuidadosa selección de los pacientes por un equipo multidisciplinario la máxima eficiencia en esta población, en la que la función renal basal y las complicaciones hemorrágicas pueden determinar el pronóstico a largo plazo tras la TAVI.
Few studies have addressed the additional value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) on risk stratification in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). We aimed to evaluate whether BNP ...levels provide additional improvement on discrimination and reclassification of patients at risk of mortality during admission and follow up after a NSTE-ACS.
BNP levels were measured 24-96 hours post admission in 600 patients with a NSTE-ACS. The incremental predictive value of including BNP into the multivariate models with the highest predictive accuracy for mortality during admission (logistic regression) and follow up (Cox regression) and over the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk scores was assessed using calibration, discrimination (area under the ROC curve (AUC) and Harrell's C statistic), and reclassification measures (net reclassification improvement (NRI) and index discrimination improvement (IDI)).
A total of 19 (3.2%) patients died during admission and 29 (4.1%) during follow up (median 13.4 months). BNP was independently associated with mortality during admission (OR 3.56, 95% CI 1.75-7.23) and improved discrimination (AUC 0.95 vs. 0.92, p=0.01) and reclassification (NRI 72% and IDI 8%, p<0.05 for both). Similarly, BNP was an independent predictor of mortality during follow up (HR 2.46, 95% CI 1.94-3.12) and provided additional discriminative value (Harrell's C 0.86 vs. 0.84, p=0.04). Similarly, BNP demonstrated additional value above the TIMI and GRACE scores.
Determination of BNP 24-96 hours after a NSTE-ACS improved discrimination of patients at risk for mortality during admission and follow up.

During the past 6 decades, there have been numerous changes in prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), currently affecting an older population and increasing in incidence in patients with ...transcatheter-implanted valves. Significant microbiologic (molecular biology) and imaging diagnostic (fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography) advances have been incorporated into the 2023 Duke-International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases infective endocarditis diagnostic criteria, thus increasing the diagnostic sensitivity for PVE without sacrificing specificity in validation studies. PVE is a life-threatening disease requiring management by multidisciplinary endocarditis teams in cardiac centers to improve outcomes. Novel surgical options are now available, and an increasing set of patients may avoid surgical intervention despite indication. Selected patients may complete parenteral or oral antimicrobial treatment at home. Finally, patients with prosthetic valves implanted surgically or by the transcatheter approach are candidates for antibiotic prophylaxis before invasive dental procedures.

•PVE occurs in an increasingly aged population, including patients with transcatheter-implanted valves, and is associated with high mortality.•Recently revised diagnostic criteria for PVE incorporate advances in microbiology and molecular and imaging modalities.•Ongoing clinical studies are evaluating oral antimicrobial regimens to complete therapy at home and provide effective prophylaxis.
Introduction and objectives: This study primary endpoint was to present the in-hospital all-cause mortality of the Spanish TAVI registry from its inception until 2018. Secondary endpoints included ...other in-hospital clinical events, 30-day all-cause mortality, and an assessment of the time trend of this registry.
Methods: All consecutive patients included in the Spanish TAVI registry were analyzed. In this time-based analysis, the population was been divided into patients treated before 2014 (cohort A: 2009-2013) and patients treated between 2014 and 2018 (cohort B).
Results: From August 2007 to June 2018, 7180 patients were included. The mean age was 81.2 ± 6.5 years and 53% were women. The logistic EuroSCORE was 12% (8-20). Transfemoral access was used in 89%. In-hospital and 30-day all-cause mortality was 4.7% and 5.7%, respectively. On the time-based analyses during the hospital stay, the rate of myocardial infarction, stroke, need for pacemakers, tamponade, coronary obstruction, and vascular complications was similar between both groups. However, cohort B showed less need for conversion to surgery and malapposition of the valve. Also, the implant success rate increased from 93% to 96% (P < .001). In-hospital and 30-day all-cause mortality was significantly lower in cohort B, (OR, 0.65; IC95%, 0.48-0.86; P = .003 and OR, 0.71; IC95%, 0.54-0.92; P = .002, respectively).
Conclusions: The time trend analysis of the Spanish TAVI registry showed a change in the patients’ clinical profile and an improvement in the in-hospital clinical outcomes and 30-day all-cause mortality in patients treated more recently.
Introducción y objetivos: El objetivo primario de este estudio fue presentar la mortalidad total intrahospitalaria del registro español de implante percutáneo de válvula aórtica (TAVI) desde su inicio hasta el año 2018, y como objetivos secundarios otros eventos clínicos intrahospitalarios, la mortalidad total a los 30 días y la evaluación de cuál ha sido la evolución temporal de este registro.
Métodos: Fueron analizados todos los pacientes consecutivos incluidos en el registro español de TAVI. En este análisis temporal se dividió la población en pacientes tratados antes de 2014 (cohorte A: 2009-2013) y pacientes tratados entre los años 2014 y 2018 (cohorte B).
Resultados: Desde agosto de 2007 hasta junio de 2018 se incluyeron 7.180 pacientes. La edad media fue de 81,2 ± 6,5 años y el 53% eran mujeres. El EuroSCORE logístico fue del 12% (8-20). Se utilizó un acceso transfemoral en el 89%. La mortalidad total intrahospitalaria fue del 4,7% y a los 30 días fue del 5,7%. En el análisis temporal durante la fase hospitalaria, las tasas de infarto, accidente cerebrovascular, necesidad de marcapasos, taponamiento, obstrucción coronaria y complicaciones vasculares fueron similares en ambos grupos. Sin embargo, en la cohorte B se observó una reducción de la necesidad de conversión a cirugía y de mala posición de la válvula, y además la tasa de éxito del implante fue mayor (93 frente a 96%; p < 0,001). La mortalidad por cualquier causa ajustada tanto intrahospitalaria como a los 30 días, fue significativamente menor en la cohorte B (odds ratio OR = 0,65; intervalo de confianza del 95% IC95%, 0,48-0,86; p = 0,003; y OR = 0,71; IC95%, 0,54-0,92; p = 0,002, respectivamente).
Conclusiones: En el análisis temporal del registro español de TAVI se observan un cambio en el perfil clínico de los pacientes y una mejora en la evolución clínica tanto intrahospitalaria como a los 30 días en los pacientes tratados en los últimos años.
