AORTIC STENOSIS
Stages of Valvular AS
Each of these stages is defined by
• Valve anatomy,
• Valve hemodynamics,
• The consequences of valve obstruction on left ventricle
and vasculature,
• Patient symptoms.
Hemodynamic severity is
best characterized
by the transaortic maximum velocity
or
Mean Pressure Gradient
when the transaortic volume flow rate is normal.
STAGES of
VALVULAR AORTIC STENOSIS
Stages C1 and C2
Special Sub groups
• Some patients with AS have a low transaortic volume flow rate due
to either LV systolic dysfunction with a low LV ejection fraction
(LVEF) or due to a small hypertrophied left ventricle with a low
stroke volume.
• Diagnostic and management challenge.
Designated as
• D2 (with a low LV EF)
• D3 ( with a normal LVEF).
VHD GUIDELINES 2014
INDICATION CLASS RECOMMENDATION
ECHO I B Signs or symptoms of AS /bicuspid AV for ∆ ,cause,
severity, LVsize ,function, systolicfunction, prognosis,
timing of intervention.

GDMT, low dose to start with
IIb C Vasodilator therapy in acute RX of decompensated
severe AS with NYHA class IV HF symptoms
III A Statin therapy is not indicated for hemodynamic
progression of AS in pts with mild to moderate AS
calcific.
Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography
• To be done in patients with severe AS(due to small valve area)
and concurrent LV systolic dysfunction.(usually have MPG
<40 mmHg).
• 1.Severe AS with LV systolic dysfunction due to afterload
mismatch.
• 2.Primary myocardial dysfunction with only moderate AS and
reduced leaflet opening due to low flow rate.
SEVERE /MODERATE AS
CONTRACTILE RESERVE PRESENT/ABSENT.
• 5 mcg/kg/min – increments of 5 ug/kg/min(max 20 ug/kg/min)
• AJV,MPG,LVEF,valve area
• Pts who donot have true anatomically severe AS - increase in valve
area with only a modest increase in transaortic velocity or gradient as
transaortic stroke volume increases.
• Patients with severe AS – relatively fixed area even with an increase
in LV contractility and flow rate.
• EAE/ASE – Severe AS - >4m/sec, valve area <1.0cm2 at any point
during test protocol.
• Fail to increase in SV >20% with dobutamine – lack of Contractile
Reserve.
• Very poor prognosis with either medical or surgical therapy.

Studies on Aortic Stenosis
TRIAL NAME DRUGS USED RESULT
1 SEAS SIMVASTATIN,EZETIMIBE NO BENEFIT
2 SALTIRE HIGH DOSE ATORVASTATIN NO BENEFIT
3 ASTRONOMER ROSUVASTATIN NO BENEFIT
4 SCOPE -AS ENALAPRIL BENEFIT
SEAS study
• SIMVASTATIN EZETIMIBE IN AORTIC STENOSIS
• RCT ,Simvastatin 40 mg and Ezetimibe 10 mg did not reduce
aortic valve events (AVEs), while ischemic cardiovascular events
(ICEs) were significantly reduced in the overall study population.
• the impact of baseline AS severity on treatment effect has not
been reported.
• rates of AVEs and ICEs increased with increasing baseline
severity of AS.
• Higher baseline peak aortic jet velocity predicted higher rates of
AVEs and ICEs in all tertiles (all p values < 0.05) and in the
total study population (p < 0.001).
Simvastatin-ezetimibe treatment was not associated with a
statistically significant reduction in AVEs in any individual tertile.
A significant quantitative interaction between the severity of AS
and simvastatin-ezetimibe treatment effect was demonstrated for
ICEs (p < 0.05) but not for AVEs (p = 0.10).
In conclusion, the SEAS study results demonstrate a strong
relation between baseline the severity of AS and the rate of
cardiovascular events but no significant effect of lipid-lowering
treatment on AVEs, even in the group with the mildest AS.
ASTRONOMER STUDY
AORTIC STENOSIS PROGRESSION OBSERVATION
MEASURING EFFECTS OF ROSUVASTATIN
(ASTRONOMER) STUDY.
• 168 patients (56 ± 13 years), AS severity was categorized
based on peak velocity at baseline (Group I: 2.5-3.0 m/s; Group
II: 3.1-3.5 m/s; Group III: 3.6-4.0 m/s).
• Baseline and follow-up hemodynamics, LV dimensions and
diastolic functional parameters were evaluated in all three
groups.
• There was increased diastolic dysfunction from baseline to
follow-up in each of the placebo and rosuvastatin groups.
Conclusions
• In patients with increasing severity of AS in Groups I and II,
the lateral E' was lower and the E/E' (as an estimate of
increased LVEDP) was higher at baseline (p < 0.05).
• However, treatment with rosuvastatin did not affect the
progression of diastolic dysfunction from baseline to 3.5 year
follow-up between patients in any of the three predefined
groups.

INDICATION CLASS RECOMMENDATION
ECHO I B Pts with bicuspid AV ,to know severity of
AS/AR,shape , diameter of aortic sinuses, ascending
aorta.
MRI/CT angio I B MRI,CT angio when the above cannot be assessed by
echocardiography.
I B Serial evaluation is needed in BAV, aortic diameter
>4.0 cm ,frequency determined by progression of
dilation(annually if >4.5 cm).
Medical
therapy
No proven therapies.(previously B Blockers,ARBs)
Intervention I B If diameter of aortic sinuses or Asc aorta >5.5 cm.
II a B If diameter of aortic sinuses or asc. Aorta >5.0
cm,risk for dissection present (family h/o)rate being
0.5cm/year.
IIa B Replacement of Asc aorta if pts having severe
AS/AR when Asc aorta >4.5 cm
N
• Incidence of aortic dilation is higher in patients with fusion of
right or left and the non coronary cusps than the more common
phenotype of fusion of the right and left non coronary
cusps.(68% vs 40% ).
• Report of a patient with BAV – aortic measurements at the aortic
annulus,sinuses,sinotubular junction and mid –ascending aorta.
• Aortic diameters by MRI/CT typically are 1 mm to 2mm larger
than by 2d echo – inclusion of aortic wall in measurement.
• 20-30% of pts with BAV ,other family members also have
bicuspid aortic valve /aortopathy –specific gene not been
identified, patterns of inheritance variable.
• Mean rate of diameter progression was 0.5 mm/yr at the sinuses of
valsalva,0.5 mm/yr at the sinotubular junction,0.9 mm/yr at the
proximal ascending aorta.
• Previous guidelines recommended surgery when diameter >5.0cm at
any level.
• Surgery is recommended presently if diameter is 5.1-5.5 cm only if
there is a family h/o aortic dissection or rapid progression of
dilation(>0.5cm/yr). (in all others >5.5 cm).
• Does not recommend the application of formulas to adjust diameter to
body size.
• Replacement of sinuses of valsalva when considering asc aorta
replacement, is not necessary in all cases (pts with BAV and AS/AR).
Bicuspid Aortic Valve M Mode Echo

MITRAL STENOSIS
VHD GUIDELINES 2014
INDICATION CLASS RECOMMENDATION
ECHO I B Diagnosis, quantify hemodynamic severity , assess concomitant
valvular lesions, and demonstrate valve morphology.
I B Assess the presence or absence of left atrial thrombus and to
further evaluate the severity of MR.
I C Evaluate the response of the mean mitral gradient and
pulmonary artery pressure in patients with MS when there is a
discrepancy between resting Doppler echocardiographic
findings and clinical symptoms or signs.
Medical
therapy
I B Anticoagulation MS with AF,MS with prior embolic event
.,MS and left atrial thrombus
II a C Heart rate control can be beneficial in patients with MS and
AF and fast ventricular response.
II b B Heart rate control may be considered for patients with MS in
normal sinus rhythm and symptoms associated with exercise
• Definition of severe MS is based on the severity at which
symptoms occur as well as the severity at which intervention will
improve symptoms.(MVA <1.5cm2 is considered severe).
• Transmitral gradient of >5-10 mm Hg at normal heart rate.
• DPHT is dependent not only on mitral obstruction,also on
compliance of LA,LV.
• Doppler hemodynamics (apical 4 C view)- peak and mean TVG
–averaged from 3-5 beats in SR,5-10 in AF.
• Heart rate should always to be included in the report.
• RVSP >60-70mm Hg on exercise.
• 30-40% pts with MS will develop AF.
• A reduction in the diastolic interval from 604 milliseconds to
219 msec as heart rate increased from 60-120 bpm,indicating a
63% reduction in total diastolic time.for maintaining same
cardiac output a 38% increase in mean flow rate during
diastole ,which by bernoulli equation ,requires an increase in
mean mitral gradient by 90%.
• Moderate to severe MS – 0.09cm2/yr.
•
Congenital MS
• Usually takes the form of a parachute mitral valve(mitral
chordae are attached to a single or dominant papillary
muscle
Form a component of shone complex
Includes
• Supramitral rings
• Valvular or subvalvular AS
• Aortic coarctation

Why does murmur of acute MR
not holosystolic
• The rapid systolic rise in LA pressure with a concomitant fall in
LV systolic pressure limits the pressure gradient driving MR to
early systole. – short and unimpressive MR.
• Torrential MR – no murmur – rapid equalisation of LA and LV
pressures.
• Vasodilator therapy
• IABP –by lowering systolic aortic pressure,decreases LV
afterload,increases forward output
• Increases diastolic mean aortic pressure –systemic circulation
• Chordae tendinae –repair

Ross procedure
Replacement of the aortic valve with a pulmonary autograft,
Replacing the pulmonary valve with a homograft.
• Requires an experienced surgical team
Failure is most often due to regurgitation of the pulmonary
autograft (the neoaortic valve ) in the second decade after the
operation.
• Regurgitation is typically due to
• leaflet prolapse ( if implanted in the subcoronary position )
• Aortic sinus dilation (if implanted starting at the aortic sinuses)
• Placing the pulmonary valve within a dacron conduit.
• Neoaortic valve in subcoronary position with a reinforced native
aorta.

Strive to attain the single INR value.
• It is preferable to specify a single INR target in each patient,
recognizing that the acceptable range is 0.5 INR units on each
side of this target, this is preferable because it avoids patients
having INR values consistently near the upper or lower edge of
the range.
• Fluctuations in INR are assosciated with increased incidence of
complications in pts with prosthetic valves.

Bridging therapy for prosthetic valves
Medical therapy
VKA anticoagulation with
INR in range in pts with
mechanical valves.
I C Minor procedures (dental
extractions ,cataract
surgery,surgeries on
skin,dental caries)
Temporary interruption in
VKA anticoagulation,INR
being subtherapeutic,without
bridging in bileaflet

Bridging anticoagulation
Mechanical AVR + thrombotic
risk factor, older generation
AVR, tricuspid
valve,mechanical MVR
I C Invasive or surgical procedure
FFP or IV prothrombin II a C Emergency noncardiac
BRIDGING THERAPY
• Usually UFH ,or SC LMWH used
• Stop warfarin 2-4 days before surgery (INR<1.5),start 24
hrs after surgery.
• Start IV UFH (48 hrs before surgery )and stopped 4-6 hrs
(IVUFH)or 12 hrs (for SC LMWH )before the procedure.
• For procedures with a low bleeding risk,such as coronary
angiography from the radial approach,only slight
modification in VKA dosing is needed.
• With interventional procedures at higher risk,many prefer to
stop VKA anticoagulation and use bridging therapy as is
done for other surgical procedures.
ACCP ,Evidence based guidelines for thrombotic management,CHEST april 2012
Excessive anticoagualtion and serious
bleeding
• INR >5.0 –risk of hemorrhage.
• Rapid decrease in INR below therapuetic range – risk of
thromboembolism.
• High dose vitamin K not given routinely,creates a
hypercoagulable condition.
• 5-10 INR ,withold VKA,serial INR
• INR>10 ,not bleeding – 1-2.5 mg oral vitamin K1
(phytonadione) in addition to witholding VKA therapy.
• Emergency conditions –FFP,prothrombin complex –
CLASS IIaB
THROMBOEMBOLIC EVENTS
• Mechanical valve 1-2%
• Bioprosthetic valve 0.7%
• Embolic events do occur even when in therapeutic range.
• AVR 2.5
• AVR+RISK FACTORS
(AF,previous TE, hypercoagulable condition ,older gen ,LVSD,

• MVR 3.0
• Time in therapuetic range is only 60-70%
• Increase INR 2.5 3.0 in AVR,
3.0 4.0 in MVR
Management
• Optimal anticoagulation
• Antiplatelet therapy.
• Improve patient compliance
• Surgical intervention is rarely needed.
• Replacement of prosthetic valve –
stenosed/regurgitation/degenerated.
VHD GUIDELINES 2014
PROSTHETIC VALVE THROMBOSIS
• Mechanical PVT – prevalence is 0.3% to 1.3% per pt yr in developed
countries.
• 6.1% per patient year in developing countries.
• TEE more sensitive for detection of valve thrombosis, mitral valve.
• Prior history of stroke,thrombosis area by TEE are independent
predictors of complications after thrombolysis.
• A thrombus area <0.8cm2 – lower risk of complications from
thrombolysis irrespective of NYHA classification.
• Fluoroscopy,CT imaging for prosthetic aortic valves.
RECOMMENDATIONS
CLASS II a B Fibrinolytic therapy is reasonable for patients with a
thrombosed left sided prosthetic heart valve ,recent onset
(<14 days) of NYHA class I –II symptoms and a small
thrombus <0.8cm2
CLASS II a B Fibrinolytic therapy is reasonable for right sided
prosthetic heart valves
CLASS I B Emergency surgery is recommended in pts with a
thrombosed left sided prosthetic heart valve with NYHA
III-IV symptoms
CLASS IIa B Emergency surgery is reasonable for patients with a
thrombosed left sided prosthetic heart valve with a
mobile or large thrombus >0.8cm2
Factors that predict adverse outcomes
from fibrinolytic therapy
• Active internal bleeding
• History of hemorrhagic stroke
• Recent cranial trauma/neoplasm
• Diabetic hemorrhagic retinopathy
• Large thrombi
• Mobile thrombi
• Systemic hypertension (>200/120 mm Hg)
• Hypotension/shock
• NYHA III/IV
• Fibrinolytic therapy of a left sided obstructed prosthetic valve is
assosciated with an overall rate of thromboembolism and
bleeding of 17.8%,the degree of risk is directly proportional
to thrombus size.
• A mobile thrombus or a length of >5 -10 mm – increased
embolic risk.
• >1.0 cm or 0.8cm2 area – 2.4 fold increase in embolism risk per
1.0cm2 increase in size.
Fibrinolytic agent
rTPA 10 mg IV bolus – 90 mg infused IV over 2 hours.
Heparin,GPIIb/IIIa held,aspirin continued
20 mg IV bolus – 10 mg per hour for 3 hours
STREPTOKINASE 5,00,000 IU in 20 minutes – 15,00,000 IU over 10
hours.i.e.,1,50,000 U/hr
UROKINASE Less effective
If fibrinolytic therapy is successful ,it is followed by IV UFH
until VKA achieves an INR of 3.0 -4.0 for aortic prosthetic
valves and 3.5-4.5 for mitral prosthetic valves

• Mortality rate was 17.6% pts with NYHA class IV, 4.7% in
pts with NYHA class I –III.
• Mortality was similar for removing the thrombus or replacing
the entire prosthetic valve.
• In pts with recent hemorrhagic stroke,surgery is a better option.
Guidelines for management of left sided prosthetic valve thrombosis,JACC,1997;30:1521-6
PROSTHETIC VALVE STENOSIS
• Mechanical valve - chronic thrombus or pannus
• Bioprosthetic valve ----- leaflet fibrosis ,calcification
• Patient –prosthesis mismatch – prosthesis functions normally.
Indexed effective orifice area <0.85cm2 for AV prosthesis.
Severe patient –prosthesis mismatch - <0.65cm2/m2
Detrimental in pts with low LVEF.
Can be avoided by adequate indexed orifice area (pts body
size,annular dimension)
• No medical therapy for prevention
• Valve in valve approach.(not fully validated)
• For mechanical valve – consider bioprosthetic valve at reoperation,if
noncompliant is the cause

  • 18. Stages of Valvular AS Each of these stages is defined by • Valve anatomy, • Valve hemodynamics, • The consequences of valve obstruction on left ventricle and vasculature, • Patient symptoms.
  • 19. Hemodynamic severity is best characterized by the transaortic maximum velocity or Mean Pressure Gradient when the transaortic volume flow rate is normal.
  • 22. Special Sub groups • Some patients with AS have a low transaortic volume flow rate due to either LV systolic dysfunction with a low LV ejection fraction (LVEF) or due to a small hypertrophied left ventricle with a low stroke volume. • Diagnostic and management challenge. Designated as • D2 (with a low LV EF) • D3 ( with a normal LVEF).
  • 24. INDICATION CLASS RECOMMENDATION ECHO I B Signs or symptoms of AS /bicuspid AV for ∆ ,cause, severity, LVsize ,function, systolicfunction, prognosis, timing of intervention. IIa B Low dose DBS – D2AS calcified, EF<50%,1.0cm2area ,velocity <4m/sec, MPG - 40 mmHg. Exercise testing IIaB Asymptomatic pts >4m/sec , MPG >40 mmHg. III B Symptomatic pts with >4m /sec , MPG>40 mmHg Medical therapy I B HTN in pts at risk, asymptomatic ,according to GDMT, low dose to start with IIb C Vasodilator therapy in acute RX of decompensated severe AS with NYHA class IV HF symptoms III A Statin therapy is not indicated for hemodynamic progression of AS in pts with mild to moderate AS calcific.
  • 25. Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography • To be done in patients with severe AS(due to small valve area) and concurrent LV systolic dysfunction.(usually have MPG <40 mmHg). • 1.Severe AS with LV systolic dysfunction due to afterload mismatch. • 2.Primary myocardial dysfunction with only moderate AS and reduced leaflet opening due to low flow rate. SEVERE /MODERATE AS CONTRACTILE RESERVE PRESENT/ABSENT. • 5 mcg/kg/min – increments of 5 ug/kg/min(max 20 ug/kg/min) • AJV,MPG,LVEF,valve area
  • 26. • Pts who donot have true anatomically severe AS - increase in valve area with only a modest increase in transaortic velocity or gradient as transaortic stroke volume increases. • Patients with severe AS – relatively fixed area even with an increase in LV contractility and flow rate. • EAE/ASE – Severe AS - >4m/sec, valve area <1.0cm2 at any point during test protocol. • Fail to increase in SV >20% with dobutamine – lack of Contractile Reserve. • Very poor prognosis with either medical or surgical therapy.
  • 28. What is the rate of progression of Aortic Stenosis? AORTIC STENOSIS PROGRESSION/EVENT FREE SURVIVAL Severe AS (asymptomatic – sympotmatic) Event free survival 30-50% at 2yrs Moderate AS (3.0-3.9m/sec) 0.3m/sec/yr,7mmhg/yr,0.1cm2/yr Aortic sclerosis 10% in 2 yrs Progression of AS more rapid in older patients and those with more leaflet calcification
  • 29. What are the symptoms in favour of AS in ExerciseTesting? • 1.Exercise induced angina • 2.Excessive dyspnea early in exercise • 3.dizziness • 4.syncope • 5.abnormal BP response(<20 mm Hg increase) • 6.ST-T abnormalities .
  • 30. Studies on Aortic Stenosis TRIAL NAME DRUGS USED RESULT 1 SEAS SIMVASTATIN,EZETIMIBE NO BENEFIT 2 SALTIRE HIGH DOSE ATORVASTATIN NO BENEFIT 3 ASTRONOMER ROSUVASTATIN NO BENEFIT 4 SCOPE -AS ENALAPRIL BENEFIT
  • 31. SEAS study • SIMVASTATIN EZETIMIBE IN AORTIC STENOSIS • RCT ,Simvastatin 40 mg and Ezetimibe 10 mg did not reduce aortic valve events (AVEs), while ischemic cardiovascular events (ICEs) were significantly reduced in the overall study population. • the impact of baseline AS severity on treatment effect has not been reported. • rates of AVEs and ICEs increased with increasing baseline severity of AS. • Higher baseline peak aortic jet velocity predicted higher rates of AVEs and ICEs in all tertiles (all p values < 0.05) and in the total study population (p < 0.001).
  • 32. Simvastatin-ezetimibe treatment was not associated with a statistically significant reduction in AVEs in any individual tertile. A significant quantitative interaction between the severity of AS and simvastatin-ezetimibe treatment effect was demonstrated for ICEs (p < 0.05) but not for AVEs (p = 0.10). In conclusion, the SEAS study results demonstrate a strong relation between baseline the severity of AS and the rate of cardiovascular events but no significant effect of lipid-lowering treatment on AVEs, even in the group with the mildest AS.
  • 33. ASTRONOMER STUDY AORTIC STENOSIS PROGRESSION OBSERVATION MEASURING EFFECTS OF ROSUVASTATIN (ASTRONOMER) STUDY. • 168 patients (56 ± 13 years), AS severity was categorized based on peak velocity at baseline (Group I: 2.5-3.0 m/s; Group II: 3.1-3.5 m/s; Group III: 3.6-4.0 m/s). • Baseline and follow-up hemodynamics, LV dimensions and diastolic functional parameters were evaluated in all three groups. • There was increased diastolic dysfunction from baseline to follow-up in each of the placebo and rosuvastatin groups.
  • 34. Conclusions • In patients with increasing severity of AS in Groups I and II, the lateral E' was lower and the E/E' (as an estimate of increased LVEDP) was higher at baseline (p < 0.05). • However, treatment with rosuvastatin did not affect the progression of diastolic dysfunction from baseline to 3.5 year follow-up between patients in any of the three predefined groups.
  • 35. I C II b C II b C
  • 38. Choice of Surgical or Transcatheter intervention
  • 39. TAVR • TAVI VIDEO • Dr Alain Cribier pioneered the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure in 2002

PVE EARLY <60 days of surgery Health care acquired infection - S. aureus INTERMEDIATE 60-365 days after surgery Health care +community acquired – coagulase negative staphylococcus 2/3 cases of PVE LATE >1 yr after surgery Resembles NVE INJECTABLE DRUG USERS MORTALITY Staphylococcus <5% *right sided 20-30%*left sided Enterococcus 15-25% Pseudomonas aeruginosa Enterobacteriaciae >50%
  • 164. Embolism • 20-40% pts with IE. • Incidence decreases to 9-21% on antibiotic use • New embolic event occurs if vegetation >10 mm,anterior mitral leaflet vegetations. • Risk of embolism is highest during the first days after initiation of antibiotic treatment and decreases after 2 weeks. • Surgical intervention is needed in case of staphylococcal PVE.

  • 168. NATIVE VALVE REGURGITATION • Symptomatic pts - High risk of HF during pregnancy • Valve repair is ideal. • Threshold to be higher CLASS I C Valve repair or replacement before pregnancy for symptomatic women with severe valvular regurgitation CLASS II a C Valve operation for pregnant with severe valvular regurgitation only if there are refractory NYHA class IV HF symptoms CLASS IIb C Valve repair Before pregnancy may be considered in asymptomatic pts with severe MR CLASS III Not to be performed in pregnancy in absence of HF symtpoms (NYHA CLASS III/IV)
  • 170. • Risk of embryopathy is dose dependent • <3% - <5 mg/day • >8% - >5mg/day
  • 173. INTERVENTION FOR AF Class II a C A concomitant MAZE procedure at time of MV repair/replacement for Rx of chronic persistent AF. Class II a B A full biatrial MAZE procedure Class II b C Concomitant maze or pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxsymal AF with h/o embolism on anticoagulation Class II b C Concomitant maze or pulmonary vein isolation at time of other cardiac surgeries with paroxysmal AF Class III Catheter ablation in pts with severe MR in place of combined maze procedure plus mitral repair.
  • 174. MAZE PROCEDURE MAZE I - initial incisons deep into the atrial wall,open sternotomy,CP bypass MAZE II - MAZE III – cut and sew (1992) MAZE IV – cryoablative /radiofrequency "Maze" refers to the series of incisions arranged in a maze -like pattern in the atria. Today, various methods of minimally invasive maze procedures, collectively named mini maze procedures, are used. James Cox in 1987. Mini maze Wolf maze
