Pulmonary Artery Enlargement Predicts Mortality in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Abstract Body (Do not enter title and authors here): Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with extensive remodeling of the pulmonary tree, with key finding the enlargement of the pulmonary artery (PA). Although the independent predictive value of the pulmonary hypertension in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis has been clearly demonstrated, data about the potential predictive value of the pre-interventional PA enlargement on mortality are scarce.

Research questions: The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic significance of the pre-interventional PA enlargement, assessed by cardiac CT scan, in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study and recruited 337 patients with aortic stenosis, who underwent a right heart catheterization and a cardiac CT scan before the transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The cohort was divided in two groups according to the presence of an enlarged PA (PAe), (main PA axial diameter ≥ 29 mm for males and ≥ 27 mm for females, n=192, mean age 83±6 years, 41% males) or not (PAn), ( n=145, mean age 84±6 years, 46% males). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 1 year.

Results: Globally, a strong correlation between invasive mean PA pressure and main PA axial diameter was noted (Pearson r=0.393, p<0 .001). Compared to the PAn group, patients with enlarged PA exhibited higher 1 year mortality rates (hazard ratio 2.51, 95% CI: 1.1-6.04, p=0.027). The prognostic significance was even stronger after indexing the PA to the ascending aorta diameter (hazard ratio 3.82, 95% CI: 1.86-7.87, p<0.001, figure 1).

Conclusions: Pre interventional PA enlargement, is strongly associated with 1-year all-cause mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve. This may pave the way for a more precise non-invasive risk stratification in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
