    Clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of self-expanding and balloon-expandable valves for valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI): An updated systematic review and meta-analysis

    Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) has emerged as a feasible alternative to reoperative surgery in patients with degenerated surgical bio-prosthesis. However, data regarding the choice of valve type in ViV-TAVI remain inconclusive. This meta-analysis compares the procedural and clinical outcomes of self-expanding (SE) vs. balloon-expandable (BE) valves in ViV-TAVI. MEDLINE and Scopus were queried to identify studies reporting outcomes of ViV-TAVI by SE/BE valve type or comparing outcomes between SE or BE valves for ViV-TAVI. The primary outcome was incidence of all-cause mortality at 30 days. Data were presented as incidence of outcomes, analyzed via random effects model using inverse variance method with 95 % confidence intervals. Further incidence rates of primary and secondary outcomes were presented as subgroups of BE and SE, with comparison in incidence rates between the subgroups made using p-interaction of proportions. 27 studies with 13,182 patients (SE: 7346; BE: 5836) were included. There were no significant differences between the BE vs. SE valves in 30-day mortality (BE 4 % vs. SE 3 %, p = 0.44), 1-year mortality (BE 12 % vs. SE 10 %, p = 0.60), and moderate-to-severe AR at 1 year (BE 1 % vs. SE 3 %, p = 0.36). However, patients with SE valves had higher rates of new permanent pacemaker insertion (BE 4 % vs. SE 9 %, p = 0.0019). There were no significant differences in the incidence of 30-day safety outcomes, including stroke, AKI, coronary obstruction, major bleeding, and major vascular complications. Both BE and SE valve types showed comparable mortality and safety outcomes in ViV-TAVI, except pacemaker insertion, which was higher in SE compared with BE valves.

    Impact of Social Vulnerability on Comorbid Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality in the United States
    (Elsevier, 2022-09-20) Ganatra, Sarju; Dani, Sourbha S.; Kumar, Ashish; Khan, Safi U.; Wadhera, Rishi; Neilan, Tomas G.; Thavendiranathan, Paaladinesh; Barac, Ana; Hermann, Joerg; Leja, Monika; Deswal, Anita; Fradley, Michael; Liu, Jennifer E.; Sadler, Diego; Asnani, Aarti; Baldassarre, Lauren A.; Gupta, Dipti; Yang, Eric; Guha, Avirup; Brown, Sherry-Ann; Stevens, Jennifer; Hayek, Salim S.; Porter, Charles; Kalra, Ankur; Baron, Suzanne J.; Ky, Bonnie; Virani, Salim S.; Kazi, Dhruv; Nasir, Khurram; Nohria, Anju; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Background: Racial and social disparities exist in outcomes related to cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Objectives: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to study the impact of social vulnerability on mortality attributed to comorbid cancer and CVD. Methods: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database (2015-2019) was used to obtain county-level mortality data attributed to cancer, CVD, and comorbid cancer and CVD. County-level social vulnerability index (SVI) data (2014-2018) were obtained from the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. SVI percentiles were generated for each county and aggregated to form SVI quartiles. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were estimated and compared across SVI quartiles to assess the impact of social vulnerability on mortality related to cancer, CVD, and comorbid cancer and CVD. Results: The AAMR for comorbid cancer and CVD was 47.75 (95% CI: 47.66-47.85) per 100,000 person-years, with higher mortality in counties with greater social vulnerability. AAMRs for cancer and CVD were also significantly greater in counties with the highest SVIs. However, the proportional increase in mortality between the highest and lowest SVI counties was greater for comorbid cancer and CVD than for either cancer or CVD alone. Adults <45 years of age, women, Asian and Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics had the highest relative increase in comorbid cancer and CVD mortality between the fourth and first SVI quartiles, without significant urban-rural differences. Conclusions: Comorbid cancer and CVD mortality increased in counties with higher social vulnerability. Improved education, resource allocation, and targeted public health interventions are needed to address inequities in cardio-oncology.
