N2 - OBJECTIVES: This analysis reports on the initial German multicenter experience with the JenaValve (JenaValve Technology GmbH, Munich, Germany) transcatheter heart valve for the treatment of pure aortic regurgitation.BACKGROUND: Experience with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic regurgitation is limited due to the risk of insufficient anchoring of the valve stent within the noncalcified aortic annulus.METHODS: Transapical TAVI with a JenaValve for the treatment of severe aortic regurgitation was performed in 31 patients (age 73.8 ± 9.1 years) in 9 German centers. All patients were considered high risk for surgery (logistic EuroSCORE [European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation] 23.6 ± 14.5%) according to a local heart team consensus. Procedural results and clinical outcomes up to 6 months were analyzed.RESULTS: Implantation was successful in 30 of 31 cases (aortic annulus diameter 24.7 ± 1.5 mm); transcatheter heart valve dislodgement necessitated valve-in-valve implantation in 1 patient. Post-procedural aortic regurgitation was none/trace in 28 of 31 and mild in 3 of 31 patients. During follow-up, 2 patients underwent valvular reinterventions (surgical aortic valve replacement for endocarditis, valve-in-valve implantation for increasing paravalvular regurgitation). All-cause mortality was 12.9% and 19.3% at 30 days and 6 months, respectively. In the remaining patients, a significant improvement in New York Heart Association class was observed and persisted up to 6 months after TAVI.CONCLUSIONS: Aortic regurgitation remains a challenging pathology for TAVI. After initial demonstration of feasibility, this multicenter study revealed the JenaValve transcatheter heart valve as a reasonable option in this subset of patients. However, a significant early noncardiac mortality related to the high-risk population emphasizes the need for careful patient selection.
