Impact of the aortic geometry on TAVI prosthesis positioning using self-expanding valves

Abstract: Background: The impact of transcatheter heart valve (THV) position on the occurrence of paravalvular leakage and permanent pacemaker implantation caused by new-onset conduction disturbances is well described. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the geometry of the thoracic aorta on the implantation depth after TAVI (transcatheter heart valve implantation) using self-expanding valve (SEV) types. Methods: We evaluated three-dimensional geometry of the thoracic aorta based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) in 104 subsequently patients receiving TAVI with SEV devices (Evolut R). Prosthesis position was determined using the fusion imaging method of pre- and post-procedural CTA. An implantation depth of ≥4 mm was defined as the cut-off value for low prosthesis position. Results: The mean implantation depth of the THV in the whole cohort was 4.3 ± 3.0 mm below annulus plane. THV position was low in 66 (63.5%) patients and high in 38 (36.5%) patients. After multivariate adjustment none of the aortic geometry characteristics showed an independent influence on the prosthesis position—neither the Sinus of Valsalva area (p = 0.335) nor the proximal aortic arch diameter (p = 0.754) or the distance from annulus to descending aorta (p = 0.309). Conclusion: The geometry of the thoracic aorta showed no influence on the positioning of self-expanding TAVI valve types
