Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: Aortic valve stenosis (AS) causes pressure overload to the left ventricle (LV), resulting in LV hypertrophy and remodeling. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has rapidly emerged as a safe and effective treatment alternative for intermediate to high risk patients with severe AS. Reverse remodeling after TAVI might improve patients' prognosis and functional status.

Aims: We aimed to evaluate the impact of TAVI on LV remodeling as measured by CT angiography. Furthermore, we sought to assess independent predictors of reverse remodeling, including hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) as detected on follow-up CT images.

Methods: We performed 256-slice CT angiography for TAVI planning and follow-up. We measured LV mass on serial CT images based on epi- and endocardial contours. Reverse remodeling was defined as reduction in LV mass. HALT was evaluated using a consensus read of 3 experienced radiologists. We recorded patients' risk factors along with echocardiographic and CT characteristics. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to identify the independent predictors of reverse remodeling.

Results: A total of 80 patients were included in our study. We found significant reduction in LV mass index after TAVR procedure: 102.3 (80.4-121.6) grams/m2 for pre- and 74.5 (62.1-87.7) grams/m2 for post-TAVR, respectively, p<0.001. More than 20% reduction in LV mass was found in 66% of the patients. Using multivariate linear regression analysis we found that HALT was an independent factor of LV remodeling over age, gender, paravalvular leak and traditional risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, BMI and diabetes mellitus): Beta coefficient -16.4, p=0.040. Change in NYHA class (pre- and post TAVR) was not associated with the change of LV mass after TAVR (p=0.232).

Conclusions: Significant regression of LV mass was observed after TAVR procedure. HALT was an independent predictor of reverse remodeling and showed an inverse association with beneficial structural changes
