EARLY TAVR: Conclusion

• EARLY TAVR trial is a strategy trial aiming to establish the safety and effectiveness of early TAVR among patients with severe asymptomatic AS compared to clinical surveillance/delayed AVR

• EARLY TAVR registry is a prospective registry aiming to follow patients with severe AS initially deemed asymptomatic but with symptoms unmasked by stress testing

Practical Issues with “Watchful Waiting” Strategy

• Clinicians still have a fear of stress test with Severe AS patients; low penetration and underused; missing Class 1 indication for AVR

• Stress Imaging requires expertise and specific set-up that most community hospitals don’t have

• Sub-optimal follow-up and lost of follow-up are frequent

• Many sudden deaths occurred in Asx patients with no Class I indication of AVR and no preceding symptoms

• “Wishful Thinking” Strategy…

How does TAVR differ from Surgery?

• TAVR is less invasive:– Faster recovery– Less pericardial irritation with potential for less AF– Less healing, risk for infection– Shorter ventilator dependency

• Cardiopulmonary bypass can be detrimental:– Systemic inflammatory response syndrome

· Inflammatory activation by membrane oxygenator, heparin-coated circuits, UF· Ischemia-reperfusion injury to various organs (gut, kidneys, brain, etc)

– Risk for adverse cerebral effects (cognitive decline)– Need for higher levels of anticoagulation– Need for cardiac standstill with cardioplegia and hypothermia

• Larger effective orifice area (EOA) with transcatheter vs surgical prostheses:– Less Patient-Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM)– PPM may be more important in low flow, low EF with heightened

afterload sensitivity

Goal

Identify subgroup of patients who could benefit from:

1. Early extubation

2. Fewer ICU days

3. Early ambulation

Fast Track Criteria

Patient Characteristics

• Easy airway management

• No severe lung disease

• LV EF >40%

• PASP < 50 mmHg

• MR < 2+

• eGFR > 60 ml/min

• STS risk < 8%

TABLE III

Monitored Anesthesia Care

• MAC Anesthetic

• Distinguish from conscious sedation

• MAC is a deeper level of sedation and higher level of care than conscious sedation

• Now, the preferred approach for transfemoral TAVR at Penn

i.e. MAC is first choice for all TF cases; must find reason for exclusion if choosing GA.

Anesthesia Exclusion Criteria

• Non-transfemoral approach

• Inability to lie flat / cooperate

• Potential difficult airway

• Morbid obesity

• Uncertain valve sizing where intraop TEE may be beneficial

• Any concerns for difficult access

Post-TAVR TTE

• Transthoracic echocardiogram performed after valve deployment (along with angiography)

• Valve position and AR

• Ventricular function

• R/O pericardial effusion

• TTE service provided by trained echo technicians

Background

• The Claret MontageTM dual-filter Cerebral Protection System was developed to protect the brain from injury caused by embolic debris.

• Randomized controlled trial data showing the efficacy of any embolic protection device in TAVR are missing.
