Abstract

Background Data are scarce on the role of aortic valve area (AVA) to identify those patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) who are at high risk of adverse events. We sought to explore the prognostic impact of AVA in asymptomatic patients with severe AS in a large observational database. Methods and Results Among 3815 consecutive patients with severe AS enrolled in the CURRENT AS (Contemporary Outcomes After Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis) registry, the present study included 1309 conservatively managed asymptomatic patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%. The study patients were subdivided into 3 groups based on AVA (group 1: AVA >0.80 cm2, N=645; group 2: 0.8 cm2 ≥AVA >0.6 cm2, N=465; and group 3: AVA ≤0.6 cm2, N=199). The prevalence of very severe AS patients (peak aortic jet velocity ≥5 m/s or mean aortic pressure gradient ≥60 mm Hg) was 2.0%, 5.8%, and 26.1% in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The cumulative 5‐year incidence of AVR was not different across the 3 groups (39.7%, 43.7%, and 39.9%; P=0.43). The cumulative 5‐year incidence of the primary outcome measure (a composite of aortic valve–related death or heart failure hospitalization) was incrementally higher with decreasing AVA (24.1%, 29.1%, and 48.1%; P, See Editorial by Tribouilloy et al

Abstract

Background There are limited data regarding the risk stratification based on peak aortic jet velocity (Vmax) in patients with severe aortic stenosis ( AS ). Methods and Results Among 3815 consecutive patients with severe AS enrolled in the CURRENT AS (Contemporary Outcomes After Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis) registry, the study population consisted of 1075 conservatively managed patients with Vmax ≥4.0 m/s and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%. The study patients were subdivided into 3 groups based on Vmax (group 1, 4.0 ≤ Vmax AS ‐related events (aortic valve–related death or heart failure hospitalization) was incrementally higher with increasing Vmax (entire population; 38.0%, 49.4%, and 62.8%, P P =0.008; and asymptomatic patients; 29.4%, 38.9%, and 47.7%, P =0.005). After adjusting for confounders, the excess risk of group 2 and group 3 relative to group 1 for AS ‐related events remained significant (hazard ratio, 1.39; 95% CI , 1.07–1.81; P =0.02, and hazard ratio, 1.53; 95% CI , 1.17–2.00; P =0.002, respectively). The effect size of group 3 relative to group 1 for AS ‐related events in asymptomatic patients (N=479) was similar to that in symptomatic patients (N=596; hazard ratio, 1.59; 95% CI , 1.01–2.52; P =0.047, and hazard ratio, 1.67; 95% CI , 1.16–2.40, P =0.008, respectively), and there was no significant overall interaction between the symptomatic status and the effect of the Vmax categories on AS ‐related events (interaction, P =0.88). Conclusions In conservatively managed severe AS patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, increasing Vmax was associated with incrementally higher risk for AS ‐related events. However, the cumulative 5‐year incidence of the AS ‐related events remained very high even in asymptomatic patients with less greater Vmax.

Abstract

In a 77-year-old man with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, a pulmonary nodule in the right middle lobe was incidentally detected on a chest computed tomography (CT), which was performed for screening purposes of the interstitial pneumonia as a side effect of amiodarone. To establish the diagnosis of lung cancer, the patient was admitted to undergo a CT-guided transthoratic needle biopsy of the lung. The procedure was performed by an experienced pulmonologist using the 18-gauge outer coaxial needle of a disposable core biopsy instrument under CT guidance. The patient was placed in a supine position for the procedure. The biopsy needle was advanced into the lesion, and a specimen was successfully obtained (Figure 1A). Immediately after removing the biopsy needle followed by a postprocedure CT, the patient coughed, discharged a small amount of bloody phlegm, and developed chest pain. Then, he lost consciousness and developed shock with severe hypotension and decreased oxygen saturation. After he was administered 100% oxygen through a mask and received a large quantity of hydration, a chest CT was obtained again for suspected pulmonary hemorrhage …
