摘要

Background

The predictive role of right ventricular-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) uncoupling following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) is inconsistent. Thus, this meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of RV-PA coupling in patients undergoing TAVR.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for studies reporting the prognostic relevance of RV-PA coupling in patients undergoing TAVR. Fixed- or random-effects models were employed according to heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the influence of study characteristics on the analyzed results.

Results

Eighteen studies involving 5,905 patients were included. The pooled results demonstrated that RV-PA uncoupling prior to TAVR was associated with the increased all-cause mortality risk, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.36 (95% CI: 1.76–3.16) in univariate analysis and an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 2.01 (95% CI: 1.40–2.89) in multivariate analysis. Moreover, both non-severe RV-PA (HR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.02–2.86) and severe RV-PA uncoupling (HR = 2.73, 95% CI: 1.50–4.95) were associated with elevated mortality risk in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed increased all-cause mortality risk in patients with non-severe/severe uncoupling, but these findings were not statistically significant.

Conclusion

RV-PA uncoupling was identified as a predictor of adverse outcomes after TAVR. Incorporating assessment of RV-PA coupling may enhance risk stratification and prognostic prediction in the TAVR patient population.
