  • Angioplastia Primária na Mulher: Realidade Nacional
    Publication . Calé, R; Sousa, L; Pereira, H; Costa, M; Sousa Almeida, M
    Objetivos: A mortalidade na mulher após angioplastia primária (ICP-P) é superior à do homem. Contudo, permanece contraditório o papel do sexo poder ser fator de risco independente para mortalidade no contexto de enfarte agudo do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento de ST (EAMST). Com base no Registo Nacional de Cardiologia de Intervenção (RNCI),pretendemos avaliar como é que o género feminino influencia o prognóstico a curto prazo nos doentes com EAMST submetidos a ICP-P a nível nacional. Métodos: De 60 158 doentes incluídos prospetivamente no RNCI de 2002-2012, incluímos na análise 7544 doentes com EAMST tratados por ICP-P, dos quais 25% foram mulheres. Utilizámos modelos de regressão logística e ajustamento por propensity score para avaliar o impacto do sexo na mortalidade hospitalar. Resultados: As mulheres foram mais idosas (68 ± 14 versus 61 ± 13, p < 0,001), mais diabéticas(30 versus 21%, p < 0,001) e hipertensas (69 versus 55%, p < 0,001). Os homens foram revascularizados mais cedo (71 versus 63% nas primeiras 6 horas, p < 0,001). Choque cardiogénico foi mais frequente nas mulheres (7,1 versus 5,7%, p = 0,032). Estas apresentaram um pior prognóstico a curto prazo, com 1,7 x maior risco de morte intra-hospitalar (4,3 versus 2,5%; IC 95% 1,30-2,27; p < 0,001). Utilizando um modelo de regressão ajustado através de um propensity score, o sexo deixa de ser preditor de mortalidade hospitalar (OR 1,00; IC 95% 0,68-1,48; p = 1,00). Conclusões: No RNCI as mulheres com EAMST tratadas com ICP-P apresentaram maior risco cardiovascular, um acesso menos atempado a ICP-P e um pior prognóstico. Contudo, após ajustamento do risco, o género feminino deixa de ser preditor independente de mortalidade hospitalar.

  • Short and Long-Term Clinical Impact of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Portugal According to Different Access Routes: Data from the Portuguese National Registry of TAVI
    Publication . Guerreiro, C; Carrilho Ferreira, P; Campante Teles, R; Braga, P; Canas da Silva, P; Patrício, L; Silva, JC; Baptista, J; Sousa Almeida, M; Gama Ribeiro, V; Silva, B; Brito, J; Infante Oliveira, E; Cacela, D; Madeira, S; Silveira, J
    Introduction: The Portuguese National Registry of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation records prospectively the characteristics and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in Portugal. Objectives: To assess the 30-day and one-year outcomes of TAVI procedures in Portugal. Methods: We compared TAVI results according to the principal access used (transfemoral (TF) vs. non-transfemoral (non-TF)). Cumulative survival curves according to access route, other procedural and clinical variables were obtained. The Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2) composite endpoint of early (30-days) safety was assessed. VARC-2 predictors of 30-days and 1-year all-cause mortality were identified. Results: Between January 2007 and December 2018, 2346 consecutive patients underwent TAVI (2242 native, 104 valve-in-valve; mean age 81±7 years, 53.2% female, EuroSCORE-II - EuroS-II, 4.3%). Device success was 90.1% and numerically lower for non-TF (87.0%). Thirty-day all-cause mortality was 4.8%, with the TF route rendering a lower mortality rate (4.3% vs. 10.1%, p=0.001) and higher safety endpoint (86.4% vs. 72.6%, p<0.001). The one-year all-cause mortality rate was 11.4%, and was significantly lower for TF patients (10.5% vs. 19.4%, p<0.002). After multivariate analysis, peripheral artery disease, previous percutaneous coronary intervention, left ventricular dysfunction and NYHA class III-IV were independent predictors of 30-day all-cause mortality. At one-year follow-up, NYHA class III-IV, non-TF route and occurrence of life-threatening bleeding predicted mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of the first year of follow-up shows decreased survival for patients with an EuroS-II>5% (p<0.001) and who underwent non-TF TAVI (p<0.001). Conclusion: Data from our national real-world registry showed that TAVI was safe and effective. The use of a non-transfemoral approach demonstrated safety in the short term. Long-term prognosis was, however, adversely associated with this route, with comorbidities and the baseline clinical status.
