Background

  • Improved quality of life (QOL) is a key goal of treatment for

patients with severe AS and may be even more important than improved survival for many elderly patients

  • Prior studies have shown that transcatheter aortic valve

replacement (TAVR) results in substantial and durable QOL benefits in extreme risk/inoperable patients and an early QOL benefit compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients at high surgical risk

  • However, the early QOL benefit of TAVR was confined to

patients who were suitable for transfemoral access and was not seen in patients treated via the transapical approach

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Background- 2

  • In the PARTNER 2A trial, TAVR was found to be non-

inferior to SAVR for the primary endpoint of 2-year death or disabling stroke among patients at intermediate surgical risk

  • There were differences in procedure-related complications

and valve performance at 1 year, however, with some endpoints favoring TAVR and others favoring surgical AVR

  • The overall impact of these alternative treatments on

health-related QOL from the patient’s perspective has not yet been reported

Study Objectives

  • 1. To compare health-related quality of life outcomes

among patients with severe AS and intermediate surgical risk treated with either TAVR or SAVR

  • 2. To determine whether the QOL benefits of TAVR vs.

SAVR vary over time

  • 3. To examine whether the QOL benefits of TAVR vs.

SAVR in the intermediate risk population differ according to access site or other patient characteristics

Statistical Methods

  • Study Population: All patients with baseline QOL data

(n=1833, 90.2%) analyzed by ITT

  • Primary QOL Endpoint = KCCQ Overall Summary Score

̶ All other QOL scales considered secondary endpoints

  • Scores between groups compared using analysis of

covariance (ANCOVA), adjusting for baseline health status and access site

  • Analytic plan specified that separate analyses would be

performed for the transfemoral (TF) and transthoracic (TT) groups in case of a significant interaction between treatment effect and access site

Summary-1

  • Among patients with severe AS who were at

intermediate risk for surgical valve replacement, both surgical and transcatheter AVR resulted in substantial improvement in disease-specific and generic HRQOL over 2 year follow-up

– KCCQ Summary Scale ~ 20 points (MCID = 5) – SF-36 Physical ~ 4 points (MCID = 2) – SF-36 Mental ~ 3 points (MCID = 2)

  • Although the extent of improvement at 2 years was

similar with TAVR and SAVR, there were important differences in the rate and extent of recovery at the earlier time points

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Summary-2

  • For patients eligible for a TF approach, TAVR resulted in

substantial QOL benefits compared with SAVR at 1 month with similar QOL at later time points

  • For patients eligible only for a transthoracic approach (i.e.,

transapical or transaortic), there was no benefit of TAVR

  • ver SAVR at any time point
  • When both mortality and the extent of quality of life

improvement were evaluated together, TF-TAVR was superior to SAVR at all follow-up timepoints

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Conclusions

  • Taken together with previous data, these findings

demonstrate that for intermediate risk patients suitable for a TF approach, TAVR provides both early and late benefits compared with surgical AVR from the patient’s perspective

  • The lack of benefit among patients ineligible for the TF

approach suggests that a TT approach may not be preferable to SAVR in such patients– at least in the short to intermediate term

  • Further studies will be necessary to determine whether use
  • f other alternative access sites (e.g., subclavian, carotid,

transcaval) can overcome these limitations of the TT approach
