Hemodynamic monitoring by pulse contour analysis during trans-catheter aortic valve replacement: A fast and easy method to optimize procedure results.
BACKGROUND: Residual aortic regurgitation (AR) complicates a not negligible number of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures, and its entity is not always clear at intraprocedural angiographic and echocardiographic control. We applied a minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring system (Pressure Recording Analytical Method, PRAM) in the setting of TAVR, with the aim of identifying parameters that may help in detection and quantification of residual AR.
METHODS: We performed hemodynamic monitoring with PRAM in 43 patients undergoing trans-femoral TAVR. Investigated parameters were systolic (Psys, mm Hg), diastolic (Pdia, mm Hg), mean (MAP, mm Hg) and dicrotic pressure (Pdic, mm Hg), cardiac output (CO, L/min), stroke volume (SV, mL), cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE, Units), dP/dtmax_rad (mm Hg/ms), MAP-Pdic (mm Hg).
RESULTS: Procedural success was achieved in 86% of the patients; vascular complications occurred in 3 (6.9%), death in 2 (4.7%). Twenty (46.5%) patients had at least mild residual AR. CO, SV, CCE and dP/dtmax_rad changed significantly (p < 0.001) between baseline and end of procedure in the overall population, with more evident modifications in the subgroup without residual AR. MAP-Pdic variations were statistically significant only in the subgroup without AR (p = 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: TAVR determined an improvement in hemodynamic parameters such as CO, SV, CCE, dP/dtmax_rad . MAP-Pdic was able to discriminate patients with significant residual AR. Hemodynamic monitoring with PRAM system during TAVR is easy and fast to obtain and may help in clinical decision-making in controversial cases.
