AIMS

The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic utility of right heart catheterisation (RHC)-derived measures among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

METHODS AND RESULTS

Data of 469 patients included in the Bern TAVI Registry between August 2007 and December 2012 and undergoing preoperative RHC were analysed. The relationship between haemodynamic parameters and survival was evaluated with Cox proportional hazards models. At two-year follow-up, 118 patients had died (25.1%). At multivariable analysis, diabetes (hazard ratio [HR] 1.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28-2.96, p=0.001), transapical access (HR 1.66, 95% CI: 1.07-2.56, p=0.02), and moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (HR 1.55, 95% CI: 1.00-2.39, p=0.04) were independent predictors of two-year mortality, whereas no correlation between RHC-derived measures and mortality was found. Furthermore, the addition of haemodynamic variables did not significantly improve the prognostic power of a model incorporating clinical and echocardiographic data (Harrell's C-index: 0.667, 95% CI: 0.615-0.719 vs. 0.662, 95% CI: 0.612-0.713, p=0.47).

CONCLUSIONS

On the basis of a comprehensive clinical and echocardiographic evaluation, RHC performed prior to TAVI does not add incremental prognostic value.
