AIM:The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of the tissue annular motion displacement (TMAD) parameter in assessing left ventricular systolic function in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and to investigate the risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with severe AS with a biplane Simpson's method ejection fraction (LVEF-Simpson) ≥ 50%. METHODS:We enrolled 81 patients diagnosed with severe AS and 22 controls. Comparative analyses were performed between the groups, and longitudinal follow-up assessments tracked the incidence of MACEs. Survival analysis, utilizing Kaplan-Meier curves, was employed to determine the prognostic significance of TMAD parameters. RESULTS:TMAD parameters showed negative linear correlations with left ventricle global longitudinal strain (LVGLS). Overall, 69 patients (85.2%) underwent successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), which significantly improves myocardial longitudinal systolic function. MACE occurred in 12 (14.8%) AS patients during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION:TMAD parameters allowed early detection of left ventricle systolic dysfunction (LVSF) in severe AS patients with normal ejection fraction and correlated well with LVGLS, and TMADmid-A4C was a strong predictor of MACE in severe AS patients with preserved LVEF.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) via the femoral approach in patients with pure aortic regurgitation (AR), with a focus on mortality, adverse event rates, cardiac function, and clinical symptom improvement. The study utilised a single-centre experience to provide insights and offer guidance for the management of TAVR in AR patients. Patients with aortic valve pathology who underwent TAVR at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, from January 2018 to March 2023 were enrolled. They were classified into two groups: pure AR and aortic stenosis (AS) based on preoperative transthoracic echocardiography. We compared baseline characteristics, imaging data, surgical outcomes, and follow-up conditions between them. We focused on the safety and efficacy of TAVR in patients with AR and evaluated these results using regression analysis. The study cohort comprised 87 patients, with 21 in the AR group and 63 in the AS group. We revealed that AR patients exhibited low mortality and adverse event rates following transfemoral TAVR, with notable improvements in postoperative cardiac function and substantial symptom relief. However, the rates of paravalvular leak (PVL), permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation, and valve-in-valve procedures were relatively elevated. While these findings suggest that TAVR may represent a viable therapeutic option for patients with AR, the elevated rates of PVL, PPM implantation, and readmission underscore the need for further investigation, with larger cohorts and extended follow-up, to more robustly evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of this approach.

This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) of Chinese patients with premature acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study was a secondary retrospective analysis involving 2114 ACS patients undergoing PCI at a single center in China. The patients were divided into two groups according to age (premature ACS group: ≤ 55 years in men, ≤ 65 years in women; nonpremature ACS group: > 55 years in men, > 65 years in women). The primary endpoint was all-cause death, and the secondary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, target vessel revascularization, and recurrent angina at follow-up, defined as MACEs. The incidence of all-cause death and MACEs was significantly lower in the premature than in the nonpremature ACS group (P < 0.001). Female sex, higher triglyceride levels, and higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were identified as independent risk factors that accelerated the development of ACS, whereas higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were identified as protective factors. Furthermore, in patients with premature ACS, non-ST-elevation ACS, cardiac insufficiency, multivessel disease, and left main lesion were risk factors for MACEs. Younger individuals, especially females, are advised to undergo early screening for the risk factors of premature ACS. Primary prevention of dyslipidemia should be more aggressively promoted at a young age. For premature ACS patients undergoing PCI, strengthened management and regular re-examinations are necessary to avoid adverse cardiovascular events as much as possible.
经导管主动脉瓣膜置换术(TAVR)是目前治疗外科手术禁忌的主动脉瓣狭窄患者的一种重要手段[1],但由于TAVR手术操作复杂,属于复杂高危介入手术,对于射血分数低下及心功能极差,甚至并发急性心力衰竭(心衰)的患者,常规TAVR手术风险较大,体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)等机械辅助循环装置可为此类患者提供手术条件.本文通过介绍南昌大学第二附属医院心血管内科2021年7月收治的1例预防性使用ECMO辅助下行TAVR治疗极高危主动脉瓣狭窄伴冠状动脉(冠脉)阻塞高风险病例,讨论目前ECMO辅助TAVR手术的应用情况以及现存的相关问题,报告如下.

Annular rupture is a rare and dreaded complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and even rarer when caused by predilatation balloon aortic valvuloplasty. This complication often presents as sudden cardiac tamponade with hypotension and requires urgent intervention. The traditional rescue strategy for patients with annular rupture is emergency surgical repair. However, the mortality rate is still high, considering that most patients who undergo TAVR are not candidates for conventional cardiac surgery. Therefore, there is a need for additional emergency treatment strategies to decrease mortality. This report describes a case of predilatation-induced annular rupture during TAVR that was successfully sealed at the rupture site by valve implantation. This case suggests that continuing with valve deployment may be a successful treatment for predilatation-induced annular rupture during TAVR.

Objective To assess the clinical application value of velocity vector imaging(VVI) in locating right accessory path-ways of patients with overt pre-excitation syndrome. Methods Twenty healthy volunteers were included in a control group and fif-teen patients with type B overt pre-excitation syndrome were included in a trial group. Excluding the patients with organic car-diopathy and intra-ventricular block. All were examined by VVI and patients were examined before or after RFCA. When right ventricle free wall and interventricular septum contract in the early to mid systole,we measured TV,T-SD and T-MX in apex four cavity views. We assess precise rate of VVI in locating accessory pathways compared with intracardiac electrophysiology. Results (1)In the control group,heart contraction was synchronous,magnitude and directions of velocity vector were accordant. (2)Right ventricle free wall of thirteen patients was not accordant in the early to mid systole pre-operation. VVI displayed velocity vector of regional myocardium contract in advance. Intracardiac electrophysiology proved accessory pathways derived from right ventricular free wall. Myocardium contraction,magnitude and direction of right ventricular free wall were accordant basically after performed RFCA. There were two cases can not be located by VVI,operations results demonstrate that accessory pathways derived from pos-terior interventricular septum. Conclusion VVI can locate type B overt pre-excitation syndrome exactly derived from right acces-sory pathways of right ventricular free wall ,but some derived from other accessory pathways of right ventricular needed to be inves-tigated further.
