Abstract
OBJECTIVES Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has become an established minimally invasive treatment for significant mitral regurgitation. Ongoing refinements and the availability of different clipping devices have expanded the indications for and effectiveness of TEER, but comprehensive comparative data on this issue are lacking. In this study, we compared NT, NTr, and XTr MitraClip devices (Abbot) for TEER. METHODS Details on patient, imaging, and procedural details, as well as short- and long-term outcomes, were sought from a national prospective clinical registry on TEER with MitraClip. The primary outcome of interest was discharge after procedural success without major clinical complications. RESULTS A total of 2236 patients were included, 1228 (54.9%) in whom NT implantation only was attempted, 233 (10.4%) in whom NTr but not XTr implantation was attempted, and 775 (34.7%) in whom XTr implantation was attempted. Clinical and imaging features differed substantially across the groups, reflecting expanding indications with NTr and XTr devices. In-hospital outcomes were largely similar among the 3 groups, including death. Long-term unadjusted estimates of effect showed significant differences in several outcomes, including death, rehospitalization, and their composite, which demonstrated that NT was associated with more unfavorable outcomes compared with the other devices (all P less than .05). However, most differences depended on baseline features, as adjusted analysis showed no significant differences for early as well as long-term outcomes, including long-term death, rehospitalization, and their composite (all P greater than .05). CONCLUSIONS New-generation MitraClip devices are associated with favorable procedural and clinical outcomes, despite being used in patients with more adverse features, when compared with patients treated with previous devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dialysis is a rare but serious complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. We analyzed the large multicenter TRITAVI (transfusion requirements in transcatheter aortic valve implantation) registry in order to develop and validate a clinical score assessing this risk. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 10 071 consecutive patients were enrolled in 19 European centers. Patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to a derivation and validation cohort. Two scores were developed, 1 including only preprocedural variables (TRITAVIpre) and 1 also including procedural variables (TRITAVIpost). In the 6714 patients of the derivation cohort (age 82±6 years, 48% men), preprocedural factors independently associated with dialysis and included in the TRITAVIpre score were male sex, diabetes, prior coronary artery bypass graft, anemia, nonfemoral access, and creatinine clearance <30 mL/min per m2. Additional independent predictors among procedural features were volume of contrast, need for transfusion, and major vascular complications. Both scores showed a good discrimination power for identifying risk for dialysis with C-statistic 0.78 for TRITAVIpre and C-statistic 0.88 for TRITAVIpost score. Need for dialysis increased from the lowest to the highest of 3 risk score groups (from 0.3% to 3.9% for TRITAVIpre score and from 0.1% to 6.2% for TRITAVIpost score). Analysis of the 3357 patients of the validation cohort (age 82±7 years, 48% men) confirmed the good discrimination power of both scores (C-statistic 0.80 for TRITAVIpre and 0.81 for TRITAVIpost score). Need for dialysis was associated with a significant increase in 1-year mortality (from 6.9% to 54.4%; P=0.0001). CONCLUSIONS A simple preprocedural clinical score can help predict the risk of dialysis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Risk stratification for mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is paramount in the decision-making process to appropriately select patients with severe secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). This study sought to develop and validate an artificial intelligence-derived risk score (EuroSMR score) to predict 1-year outcomes (survival or survival + clinical improvement) in patients with SMR undergoing M-TEER. METHODS An artificial intelligence-derived risk score was developed from the EuroSMR cohort (4172 and 428 patients treated with M-TEER in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively). The EuroSMR score was validated and compared with established risk models. RESULTS The EuroSMR risk score, which is based on 18 clinical, echocardiographic, laboratory, and medication parameters, allowed for an improved discrimination of surviving and non-surviving patients (hazard ratio 4.3, 95% confidence interval 3.7-5.0; P < .001), and outperformed established risk scores in the validation cohort. Prediction for 1-year mortality (area under the curve: 0.789, 95% confidence interval 0.737-0.842) ranged from <5% to >70%, including the identification of an extreme-risk population (2.6% of the entire cohort), which had a very high probability for not surviving beyond 1 year (hazard ratio 6.5, 95% confidence interval 3.0-14; P < .001). The top 5% of patients with the highest EuroSMR risk scores showed event rates of 72.7% for mortality and 83.2% for mortality or lack of clinical improvement at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The EuroSMR risk score may allow for improved prognostication in heart failure patients with severe SMR, who are considered for a M-TEER procedure. The score is expected to facilitate the shared decision-making process with heart team members and patients.

Abstract
Evidence regarding gender-related differences in response to transcatheter aortic valve implantation according to the valve type is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of gender on the treatment effect of Evolut PRO/PRO+ (PRO) or SAPIEN 3 Ultra (ULTRA) devices on clinical outcomes. The Comparative Analysis of Evolut PRO vs SAPIEN 3 Ultra Valves for Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (OPERA-TAVI) is a multicenter, multinational registry including patients who underwent the latest-iteration PRO or ULTRA implantation. Overall, 1,174 of 1,897 patients were matched based on valve type and compared according to gender, whereas 470 men and 630 women were matched and compared according to valve type. The 30-day and 1-year outcomes were evaluated. In the PRO and ULTRA groups, men had a higher co-morbidity burden, whereas women had smaller aortic root. The 30-day (device success [DS], early safety outcome, permanent pacemaker implantation, patient-prosthesis mismatch, paravalvular regurgitation, bleedings, vascular complications, and all-cause death) and 1-year outcomes (all-cause death, stroke, and heart failure hospitalization) did not differ according to gender in both valve groups. However, the male gender decreased the likelihood of 30-day DS with ULTRA versus PRO (p for interaction = 0.047). A higher risk of 30-day permanent pacemaker implantation and 1-year stroke and a lower risk of patient-prosthesis mismatch was observed in PRO versus ULTRA, regardless of gender. In conclusion, gender did not modify the treatment effect of PRO versus ULTRA on clinical outcomes, except for 30-day DS, which was decreased in men (vs women) who received ULTRA (vs PRO).

Abstract
Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (aFMR) has a peculiar pathophysiology that may have distinctive outcomes. We investigated the impact of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in aFMR compared with other FMR etiologies. The GIOTTO (GIse registry Of Transcatheter treatment of MR) is a multicenter, prospective study enrolling patients with symptomatic MR treated with MitraClip up to 2020. We categorized patients with FMR as aFMR, ischemic FMR (iFMR), and nonischemic ventricular FMR (niFMR). The clinical end points were defined according to the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium. Of 1,153 patients, 6% had aFMR, 47% iFMR, and 47% niFMR. Patients with aFMR were older, mostly women, and had a higher atrial fibrillation rate. They had better left ventricular ejection fraction and smaller left ventricular volumes, with no difference in mitral effective regurgitant orifice area. The acute device and procedural success rates were similar among the groups. At the longest available follow-up (median 478 days, interquartile range 91 to 741 days), the rate of MR ≥2+ was similar among the groups. Patients with aFMR had a lower rate of cardiovascular death and heart failure than patients with iFMR (hazard ratio [HR] 0.43, p = 0.02) and niFMR (HR 0.45, p = 0.03). The aFMR etiology remained independently associated with the composite outcome, together with postprocedural MR ≤1+ (HR 0.63, p <0.01) and peripheral arteriopathy (HR 1.82, p = 0.003). The results of this GIOTTO subanalysis suggested that aFMR is less prevalent and associated with better outcomes compared with other causes of FMR treated by transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Postprocedural MR >1+, peripheral vasculopathy, non-aFMR were independent predictors of worse outcomes.

Abstract
Background The CONtrolled delivery For ImproveD outcomEs with cliNiCal Evidence registry was initiated to characterize the clinical safety and device performance from experienced transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) centers in Europe and Australia that use the Portico valve to treat patients with severe aortic stenosis. We herein report for the first time the valve performance at 30-day across all implanted valve sizes and the 1-year survival from this registry. Methods This was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm observational clinical investigation of patients clinically indicated for implantation of a Portico valve in experienced TAVI centers. Patients were treated with a commercially available valve (size 23, 25, 27, or 29 mm) using either the first-generation delivery system (DS) (n = 501) or the second-generation (FlexNav) DS (n = 500). Adverse events were adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee according to Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria. Echocardiographic outcomes were assessed at 30 days by an independent core laboratory, and a survival check was performed at 1 year. Results We enrolled 1001 patients (82.0 years, 62.5% female, 63.7% New York Heart Association functional class III/IV at baseline) from 27 clinical sites in 8 countries across Europe and one site in Australia. Implantation of a single valve was successful in 97.5% of subjects. Valve hemodynamics at 30 days were substantially improved relative to baseline, with large aortic valve areas and low mean gradients across all implanted valve sizes (aortic valve areas were 1.7 ± 0.4, 1.7 ± 0.5, 1.8 ± 0.5, and 2.0 ± 0.5 cm2, and mean gradients were 7.0 ± 2.7, 7.5 ± 4.7, 7.3 ± 3.3, and 6.4 ± 3.3 mmHg for 23, 25, 27, and 29 mm valve sizes, respectively). Across all implanted valve sizes, most patients (77.1%) had no patient-prosthesis mismatch. Death from any cause within 1 year occurred in 13.7% of the patients in the first-generation DS group as compared with 11.0% in the second-generation DS group (p = 0.2). Conclusions The Portico valve demonstrated excellent hemodynamic performance across all valve sizes in a large cohort of subjects implanted in experienced TAVI centers. One-year survival rates were favorable when using both the first-generation and second-generation (FlexNav) DSs in this high-risk cohort. ClinicalTrialsgov Identifier NCT03752866.

Abstract
AIM Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a mainstay in the management of severe aortic stenosis in patients with intermediate to prohibitive surgical risk. When a single TAVI device fails and cannot be retrieved, TAVI-in-TAVI must be performed acutely, but outcomes of bailout TAVI-in-TAVI have been incompletely appraised. We aimed at analyzing patient, procedural and outcome features of patients undergoing bailout TAVI-in-TAVI in a multicenter registry. METHODS Details of patients undergoing bailout TAVI-in-TAVI, performed acutely or within 24 h of index TAVI, in 6 international high-volume institutions, were collected. For every case provided, 2 same-week consecutive controls (prior TAVI, and subsequent TAVI) were provided. Outcomes of interest were procedural and long-term events, including death, myocardial infarction, stroke, access site complication, major bleeding, and reintervention, and their composite (i.e. major adverse events [MAE]). RESULTS A total of 106 patients undergoing bailout TAVI-in-TAVI were included, as well as 212 controls, for a total of 318 individuals. Bailout TAVI-in-TAVI was less common in younger patients, those with higher body mass index, or treated with Portico/Navitor or Sapien devices (all p < 0.05). Bailout TAVI-in-TAVI was associated with higher in-hospital rates of death, emergency surgery, MAE, and permanent pacemaker implantation (all p < 0.05). Long-term follow-up showed that bailout TAVI-in-TAVI was associated with higher rates of death and MAE (both < 0.05). Similar findings were obtained at adjusted analyses (all p < 0.05). However, censoring early events, outlook was not significantly different when comparing the two groups (p = 0.897 for death, and p = 0.645 for MAE). CONCLUSIONS Bail-out TAVI-in-TAVI is associated with significant early and long-term mortality and morbidity. Thus, meticulous preprocedural planning and sophisticated intraprocedural techniques are of paramount importance to avoid these emergency procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Midterm comparative analyses of the latest iterations of the most used Evolut and SAPIEN platforms for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are lacking. AIMS We aimed to compare 1-year clinical outcomes of TAVI patients receiving Evolut PRO/PRO+ (PRO) or SAPIEN 3 Ultra (ULTRA) devices in current real-world practice. METHODS Among patients enrolled in the OPERA-TAVI registry, patients with complete 1-year follow-up were considered for the purpose of this analysis. One-to-one propensity score matching was used to compare TAVI patients receiving PRO or ULTRA devices. The primary endpoint was a composite of 1-year all-cause death, disabling stroke and rehospitalisation for heart failure. Five prespecified subgroups of patients were considered according to leaflet and left ventricular outflow tract calcifications, annulus dimensions and angulation, and leaflet morphology. RESULTS Among a total of 1,897 patients, 587 matched pairs of patients with similar clinical and anatomical characteristics were compared. The primary composite endpoint did not differ between patients receiving PRO or ULTRA devices (Kaplan-Meier [KM] estimates 14.0% vs 11.9%; log-rank p=0.27). Patients receiving PRO devices had higher rates of 1-year disabling stroke (KM estimates 2.6% vs 0.4%; log-rank p=0.001), predominantly occurring within 30 days after TAVI (1.4% vs 0.0%; p=0.004). Outcomes were consistent across all the prespecified subsets of anatomical scenarios (all pinteraction>0.10). CONCLUSIONS One-year clinical outcomes of patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI and receiving PRO or ULTRA devices in the current clinical practice were similar, but PRO patients had higher rates of disabling stroke. Outcomes did not differ across the different anatomical subsets of the aortic root.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the context of primary mitral regurgitation (PMR), the selection of patients for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) does not include a systematic assessment of PMR-associated cardiac remodelling. AIMS We aimed to investigate the epidemiology and prognostic significance of different phenotypes of extra-mitral valve (MV) cardiac involvement in a large series of patients with PMR referred for TEER. METHODS The study included 654 patients from the multicentre Italian GIOTTO registry, stratified into groups according to extra-mitral valve (MV) cardiac involvement. The primary endpoint was all-cause death at 2-year follow-up. RESULTS Patients with no cardiac involvement (NI; n=58), left heart involvement (LHI; n=343) and right heart involvement (RHI; n=253) were analysed. Acute technical success was achieved in 98% of patients. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed significantly worse survival in patients with LHI and RHI (p=0.041). On multivariate Cox regression analysis, extra-MV cardiac involvement, haemoglobin level and technical success were independent predictors of the primary endpoint occurrence. CONCLUSIONS Grading cardiac involvement may help refine risk stratification, since at least 1 group of extra-MV cardiac involvement represents in itself a negative predictor of midterm outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extremely large aortic valve anatomy is one of the remaining limitations leading to exclusion of patients for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). AIMS The newly approved Myval 32 mm device is designed for use in aortic annulus areas up to 840 mm2 . Here we want to share the initial worldwide experience with the device. METHODS AND RESULTS Retrospective data were collected from 10 patients with aortic stenosis and very large annular anatomy (mean area 765.5 mm2 ), who underwent implantation with 32 mm Myval transcatheter heart valve at eight centers. Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 device success was achieved in all cases. Mild paravalvular leak was observed in three patients and two patients required new pacemaker implantation. One patient experienced retroperitoneal hemorrhage caused by the contralateral 6 F sheath and required surgical revision. No device-related complications, stroke, or death from any cause occurred within the 30-day follow-up period. In a studied cohort of 2219 consecutive TAVR-screened patients from a central European site, only 0.27% of patients showed larger anatomy than covered by the 32 mm Myval device by instructions for use without off-label use of overexpansion. This rate was significantly higher for the 34 mm Evolut Pro (1.8%) and 29 mm Sapien 3 (2.1%) devices. CONCLUSIONS The Myval 32 mm prosthesis showed promising initial results in a cohort of patients who previously had to be excluded from TAVR. It is desirable that all future TAVR systems accommodate larger anatomy to allow optimal treatment of all patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) on the prognosis of patients undergoing MitraClip implantation is still unclear. METHODS One thousand nine hundred fifty-three patients undergoing MitraClip implantation included in the multicenter GIOTTO Registry were stratified according to CAD. Endpoints were all-cause death, cardiac death, and re-hospitalization for heart failure at follow-up (median 15.8 months). RESULTS Although younger, CAD patients were more symptomatic, had worse cardiovascular risk profile, higher burden of comorbidities, more frequently affected by functional MR, with higher left ventricle (LV) diameters and lower ejection fraction (EF). At follow-up, CAD patients showed higher rates of all-cause death (25.4% vs. 19.6%; P=0.002), cardiovascular death (14.0% vs. 10.1%; P=0.007) and re-hospitalization for heart failure (13.9% vs. 10.2%; P=0.011). Dividing the population according to mitral regurgitation (MR) etiology (functional vs. non-functional MR), no differences were observed between CAD and no-CAD patients. At multivariate logistic regression, NYHA III/IV class, prior heart failure hospitalization, severe chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, LV end-diastolic diameter and LVEF<30% but not CAD resulted independent predictors of all-cause death. The same finding was confirmed even after propensity score adjustment. CONCLUSIONS CAD did not show a relevant impact on mid-term prognosis per se, but seemed to identify a more complex and diseased cohort of patients with worse clinical and functional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence and predictors of 30-day stroke after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) were derived from early studies investigating first-generation devices. The incidence of 6-month stroke and its related predictors are unknown. AIMS To investigate the incidence and to identify procedural and patient-related predictors of 30-day and 6-month stroke after TAVR. METHODS Data from 2753 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR were obtained from the OBSERVANT-II study, an observational, prospective, multicenter cohort study. The study endpoints were symptomatic 30-day and 6-month stroke after TAVR. RESULTS The occurrence of a 30-day and 6-month stroke was low (1.3% and 2.4%, respectively) but with significant impact on survival. Aortic valve predilatation (odds ratio [OR]: 2.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-4.65, p = 0.023), diabetes (OR: 3.10, 95% CI: 1.56-6.18, p = 0.001), and left ventricle ejection fraction < 50% (OR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.04-4.47, p = 0.04) were independent predictors of 30-day stroke, whereas diabetes (sub-distribution hazard ratio [SHR]: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.25-3.42, p = 0.004), pre-existing neurological dysfunction (SHR: 3.92, 95% CI: 1.54-10, p = 0.004), bicuspid valve (SHR: 4.75, 95% CI: 1.44-15.7, p = 0.011), and critical status (SHR: 3.05, 95% CI: 1.21-7.72, p = 0.018) were predictive of 6-month stroke. Conversely, antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation were protective factors at both 30 days and 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Stroke after TAVR was rare. Predilatation was the only procedural factor predictive of 30-day stroke, whereas the remaining were patient-related risk factors, suggesting appropriate risk stratification preoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Horizontal aorta (HA), defined by an aortic angulation (AA) ≥48°, is associated with worse outcomes particularly after self-expanding (SE) trans-catheter heart valve (THV) implantation. Although the SE ACURATE Neo THV demonstrated favorable procedural success rates in patients with HA, it remains associated with a non-negligible rate of moderate or greater paravalvular leak (PVL). OBJECTIVES Aim of the study was to assess the performance of ACURATE Neo2 in the setting of HA. METHODS We performed a multicenter cohort analysis on patients with severe aortic valve stenosis and HA undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the Neo or Neo2 THV enrolled in the ITAL-neo registry. The primary endpoint was a composite of early safety and clinical efficacy at 30 days according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 (VARC-3). Secondary endpoints included the occurrence of moderate or severe PVL and 90-day clinical outcomes. RESULTS Among 900 patients included in the ITAL-neo registry, 407 exhibited HA; of these, 300 received a Neo THV and 107 a Neo2 THV. HA, irrespective of the THV implanted, emerged as an independent risk factor for developing ≥ moderate PVL. Technical and device success at 30-day follow-up was comparable between groups. However, Neo2 was associated with a significantly lower rate of ≥moderate PVL vs. Neo: (5% vs. 15%; p < 0.001), which was confirmed also at 90-day follow-up. Additionally, no correlation was found between ≥moderate PVL and AA in the Neo2 group, while PVL degree increased proportionally to the AA in the Neo cohort. CONCLUSION In patients with HA, the new generation Acurate Neo2 THV was associated with a comparable device success rate and a significantly lower rate of ≥moderate PVL, when compared with its predecessor.

Abstract
Symptoms of aortic stenosis (AS) are not proportional to its severity and patients with very severe AS (VSAS) remain asymptomatic for a long time. The appropriate time for intervention in patients with VSAS and the effects of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) remain debated. Our aim was to compare the procedural and 30-day outcomes of TAVI between patients with VSAS and patients with severe AS (SAS) and the changes in LVH. We selected patients with an aortic peak velocity ≥5 m/s (VSAS) and those with aortic peak velocity 4 to 5 m/s (SAS) treated with TAVI. Patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (<45%) were excluded. The primary end point was the incidence of all-cause death at 30 days. The secondary end points included the 30-day incidence of cardiac death, cardiac rehospitalization, and stroke/transient ischemic attack and the changes in LVH from baseline to 30 days. A total of 102 patients in the VSAS group and 535 in the SAS group were included. Patients in the VSAS group had a thicker septal wall (p <0.001) and a higher Agaston score (p <0.001) and calcium volume (p = 0.007). No differences were observed regarding the primary and secondary clinical end points. However, patients with VSAS showed a significantly greater improvement in concentric LVH, although the prevalence of concentric LVH remained higher than in patients with SAS. TAVI in patients with VSAS showed similar procedural and clinical outcomes to patients with SAS and experienced a more pronounced improvement in the prevalence of concentric LVH.

Abstract
Anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare disease associated with sudden cardiac death, usually related to physical effort in young people. Clinical routine tests fail to assess the ischemic risk, calling for novel diagnostic approaches. To this aim, some recent studies propose to assess the coronary blood flow (CBF) in AAOCA by computational simulations but they are limited by the use of data from literature retrieved from normal subjects. To overcome this limitation and obtain a reliable assessment of CBF, we developed a fully patient-specific lumped parameter model based on clinical imaging and in-vivo data retrieved during invasive coronary functional assessment of subjects with AAOCA. In such a way, we can estimate the CBF replicating the two hemodynamic conditions in-vivo analyzed. The model can mimic the effective coronary behavior with high accuracy and could be a valuable tool to quantify CBF in AAOCA. It represents the first step required to move toward a future clinical application with the aim of improving patient care. The study was registered at Clinicaltrial.gov with (ID: NCT05159791, date 2021-12-16).

Abstract
BACKGROUND TAVR is an established treatment for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Different THV platforms are nowadays available, each of them with its inherent limitations and others are under development aiming at overcoming such limitations. We thus sought to investigate the performance and 1-year clinical outcome of a new generation, balloon expandable, THV: the Myval™ (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Vapi, Gujarat, India). METHODS This registry included the first 100 consecutive patients (mean age 80.7 ± 7.7; STS 4.3 ± 3.3 %), who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation for severe stenosis of the native aortic valve from May 2020 to December 2020, in two Italian Centers. Clinical and procedural outcomes were defined according to VARC-3 criteria. RESULTS Transfemoral Myval THV was successfully implanted in all patients, with no intra-hospital mortality (technical success 100 %): vascular access complications were all "minor" (16 %), and managed by compression/balloon inflation; no cases of annular rupture or coronary obstruction occurred; 5 % of patients required an in-hospital pacemaker implantation (PM). Device success was 99 %. Overall and cardiovascular mortality were 6 % (CI 5 %-7 %) and 4 % (CI 2 %-5 %) at 1- year, while 12 % (CI 9 %-14 %) and 7 % (6-9 %) at 2 years. A total of 9 % of the patients required a PM within 12 months, and no further PM implantation occurred afterwards. No cerebrovascular events, renal failure and myocardial infarction occurred between discharge and 2-year follow-up. No events of structural valve deterioration but a sustained improvement of echocardiographic parameters were observed. CONCLUSION The Myval THV has a promising safety/efficacy profile at 2 year follow up. This performance should be further evaluated in the context of randomized trials to better elucidate its potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal timing to perform percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients remains unknown. AIMS We sought to compare different PCI timing strategies in TAVI patients. METHODS The REVASC-TAVI registry is an international registry including patients undergoing TAVI with significant, stable coronary artery disease (CAD) at preprocedural workup. In this analysis, patients scheduled to undergo PCI before, after or concomitantly with TAVI were included. The main endpoints were all-cause death and a composite of all-cause death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) or rehospitalisation for congestive heart failure (CHF) at 2 years. Outcomes were adjusted using the inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) method. RESULTS A total of 1,603 patients were included. PCI was performed before, after or concomitantly with TAVI in 65.6% (n=1,052), 9.8% (n=157) or 24.6% (n=394), respectively. At 2 years, all-cause death was significantly lower in patients undergoing PCI after TAVI as compared with PCI before or concomitantly with TAVI (6.8% vs 20.1% vs 20.6%; p<0.001). Likewise, the composite endpoint was significantly lower in patients undergoing PCI after TAVI as compared with PCI before or concomitantly with TAVI (17.4% vs 30.4% vs 30.0%; p=0.003). Results were confirmed at landmark analyses considering events from 0 to 30 days and from 31 to 720 days. CONCLUSIONS In patients with severe aortic stenosis and stable coronary artery disease scheduled for TAVI, performance of PCI after TAVI seems to be associated with improved 2-year clinical outcomes compared with other revascularisation timing strategies. These results need to be confirmed in randomised clinical trials.

Abstract
Background Third generation drug-eluting stents (DES) potentially offer better technical performance and reduced neointimal proliferation than previous generation DES. The XLIMIT non-inferiority trial evaluated the performance of the Xlimus (a novel sirolimus-eluting coronary stent system) in terms of endothelialization and tissue healing compared to the bioresorbable polymer Synergy DES. Methods A total of 177 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were randomized in a 2:1 ratio (2 Xlimus: 1 Synergy). The primary endpoints, defined as the in-stent neointimal volume weighted by the sum of the lengths of the implanted stent (ISNV) and the in-stent neointimal percent volume obstruction (%VO) were evaluated at 6-9 months by means of optical coherence tomography (OCT). Additional OCT parameters as well as clinical endpoints were also collected. Results Most of the patients were males (77.4%), and the mean age was 64 years. One third of the population had stable angina/silent ischemia. A total of 300 stents (237 lesions) were analyzed: 198 (152 lesions) were in the Xlimus group, and 102 (85 lesions) in the Synergy group. The ISNV in the Xlimus group was 30.7 ± 24.5 mm3 while in the Synergy group it was 26.5 ± 26.7 mm3: the difference between the two means was 0.08 (-0, 04-0, 45), p = 0.018, thus meeting the non-inferiority hypothesis. The %VO was 16.3% ± 10.4% and 13.3% ± 10.8% in the Xlimus and Synergy groups, respectively: the difference between the two means was 3.0 (-0, 06-4, 2), (p = 0.01), thus meeting the non-inferiority hypothesis. No difference was found with respect to the secondary OCT endpoints as well as for clinical endpoints. Conclusions The study results confirm that the biological interaction of the Xlimus and Synergy DES with the coronary artery is comparable, and that translates in very reassuring OCT parameters at follow-up: as such, the Xlimus is non-inferior to the Synergy.

Abstract
Accurate planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is important to minimize complications, and it requires anatomic evaluation of the aortic root (AR), commonly performed through 3D computed tomography (CT) image analysis. Currently, there is no standard automated solution for this process. Two convolutional neural networks with 3D U-Net architectures (model 1 and model 2) were trained on 310 CT scans for AR analysis. Model 1 performs AR segmentation and model 2 identifies the aortic annulus and sinotubular junction (STJ) contours. After training, the two models were integrated into a fully automated pipeline for geometric analysis of the AR. Results were validated against manual measurements of 178 TAVI candidates. The trained CNNs segmented the AR, annulus, and STJ effectively, resulting in mean Dice scores of 0.93 for the AR, and mean surface distances of 0.73 mm and 0.99 mm for the annulus and STJ, respectively. Automatic measurements were in good agreement with manual annotations, yielding annulus diameters that differed by 0.52 [-2.96, 4.00] mm (bias and 95% limits of agreement for manual minus algorithm). Evaluating the area-derived diameter, bias, and limits of agreement were 0.07 [-0.25, 0.39] mm. STJ and sinuses diameters computed by the automatic method yielded differences of 0.16 [-2.03, 2.34] and 0.1 [-2.93, 3.13] mm, respectively. The proposed tool is a fully automatic solution to quantify morphological biomarkers for pre-TAVI planning. The method was validated against manual annotation from clinical experts and showed to be quick and effective in assessing AR anatomy, with potential for time and cost savings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with pure severe native aortic valve regurgitation (NAVR) has been associated with suboptimal results. The available evidence concerns mostly outdated transcatheter heart valves (THVs). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of new-generation THVs in patients treated for pure severe NAVR. METHODS The PANTHEON (Performance of Currently Available Transcatheter Aortic Valve Platforms in Inoperable Patients With Pure Aortic Regurgitation of a Native Valve) study retrospectively included patients who underwent TAVR with currently available devices (both self-expanding [SE] and balloon expandable [BE]) for severe NAVR. Technical and device success rates as well as a composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure rehospitalization at 1 year were evaluated. The rate and clinical consequences of acute transcatheter valve embolization or migration (TVEM) were also considered. RESULTS A total of 201 patients were included. Overall technical and device success rates were 83.6% and 76.1%, respectively, and did not differ between SE and BE devices. These figures were due mostly to TVEM occurrence (14.6% vs 16.1%; P = 0.47) and residual moderate or greater aortic regurgitation (9.2% vs 10.1%; P = 0.87). Patients who experienced TVEM compared with those without TVEM had a significantly higher incidence of the composite endpoint at 1 year (25.7% vs 15.8%; P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Despite improved THV platforms and techniques, TAVR for pure severe NAVR remains a challenging procedure, with significant risk for TVEM. SE and BE platforms demonstrated comparable performance in this setting.

Abstract
Despite the growing experience with MitraClip in the broad spectrum of mitral regurgitation (MR), limited data are available regarding the independent prognostic role on survival of different mitral regurgitation etiology subtypes. We sought to evaluate the impact of flail leaflet etiology in a large series of patients with primary MR (PMR) who underwent MitraClip treatment. The study included 588 patients with significant PMR from the multicenter GIOTTO (Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology [GIse] registry Of Transcatheter treatment of mitral valve regurgitaTiOn), stratified into 2 groups according to MR etiology: flail+ (n = 300) and flail- (n = 288). The primary end point was a composite of cardiac death and first rehospitalization for heart failure (HF). To account for the baseline differences, patients were propensity score-matched 1:1. Flail leaflet etiology was present in about a half of the patients. Acute technical success was achieved in 98% of the overall cohort, with no significant differences between the study groups (p = 0.789). At the 2-year Kaplan-Meier analysis, the primary end point occurred in 13% of flail+ patients compared with 23% in flail- (p = 0.009). The flail+ group presented lower rates of both cardiac death and rehospitalization for HF, whereas a similar overall death rate was observed between the groups. A multivariate Cox regression analysis identified flail leaflet etiology as an independent predictor of favorable outcome in terms of the primary end point (hazard ratio 0.141, 95% confidence interval 0.049 to 0.401, p <0.001). After propensity score matching, flail+ patients had confirmed lower rates of cardiac mortality and rehospitalization for HF but similar rates of overall death. In conclusion, flail leaflet-related etiology was common in patients with PMR who underwent MitraClip treatment and was an independent predictor of midterm favorable clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery (AAOCA) with intramural segment is associated with risk of sudden cardiac death, probably related to a compressive mechanism exerted by the aorta. However, the intramural compression occurrence and magnitude during the cardiac cycle remain unknown. We hypothesized that (1) in end diastole, the intramural segment is narrower, more elliptic, and has greater resistance than extramural segment; (2) the intramural segment experiences a further compression in systole; and (3) morphometry and its systolic changes vary within different lumen cross-sections of the intramural segment. METHODS Phasic changes of lumen cross-sectional coronary area, roundness (minimum/maximum lumen diameter), and hemodynamic resistance (Poiseuille law for noncircular sections) were derived from intravascular ultrasound pullbacks at rest for the ostial, distal intramural, and extramural segments. Data were obtained for 35 AAOCA (n=23 with intramural tract) after retrospective image-based gating and manual lumen segmentation. Differences between systolic and end-diastolic phases in each section, between sections of the same coronary, and between AAOCA with and without intramural tract were assessed by nonparametric statistical tests. RESULTS In end diastole, both the ostial and distal intramural sections were more elliptical (P<0.001) than the reference extramural section and the correspondent sections in AAOCA without intramural segment. In systole, AAOCA with intramural segment showed a flattening at the ostium (-6.76% [10.82%]; P=0.024) and a flattening (-5.36% [16.56%]; P=0.011), a narrowing (-4.62% [11.38%]; P=0.020), and a resistance increase (15.61% [30.07%]; P=0.012) at the distal intramural section. No-intramural sections did not show morphological changes during the entire cardiac cycle. CONCLUSIONS AAOCA with intramural segment has pathological segment-specific dynamic compression mainly in the systole under resting conditions. Studying AAOCA behavior with intravascular ultrasound during the cardiac cycle may help to evaluate and quantify the severity of the narrowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomical and clinical criteria to define mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) "unsuitability" have been proposed on the basis of a Heart Valve Collaboratory consensus opinion from physician experience with early-generation TEER devices but lacked an evidence-based approach. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to explore the spectrum of TEER suitability using echocardiographic and clinical outcomes from the EXPAND G4 real-world postapproval study. METHODS EXPAND G4 is a global, prospective, multicenter, single-arm study that enrolled 1,164 subjects with mitral regurgitation (MR) treated with the MitraClip G4 System. Three groups were defined using the Heart Valve Collaboratory TEER unsuitability criteria: 1) risk of stenosis (RoS); 2) risk of inadequate MR reduction (RoIR); and 3) subjects with baseline moderate or less MR (MMR). A TEER-suitable (TS) group was defined by the absence of these characteristics. Endpoints included independent core laboratory-assessed echocardiographic characteristics, procedural outcomes, MR reduction, NYHA functional class, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, and major adverse events through 30 days. RESULTS Subjects in the RoS (n = 56), RoIR (n = 54), MMR (n = 326), and TS (n = 303) groups had high 30-day MR reduction rates (≤1+: RoS 97%, MMR 93%, and TS 91%; ≤2+: RoIR 94%). Thirty-day improvements in functional capacity (NYHA functional class I or II at 30 days vs baseline: RoS 94% vs 29%, RoIR 88% vs 30%, MMR 79% vs 26%, and TS 83% vs 33%) and quality of life (change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score: RoS +27 ± 26, RoIR +16 ± 26, MMR +19 ± 26, and TS +19 ± 24) were safely achieved in all groups, with low major adverse events (<3%) and all-cause mortality (RoS 1.8%, RoIR 0%, MMR 1.5%, and TS 1.3%). CONCLUSIONS Patients previously deemed TEER unsuitable can be safely and effectively treated with the mitral TEER fourth-generation device.

Abstract
Background Little is known about the impact of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair on changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the effect of an acute reduction in LVEF on prognosis. We aimed to assess changes in LVEF after transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair for both primary and secondary mitral regurgitation (PMR and SMR, respectively), identify rates and predictors of LVEF reduction, and estimate its impact on prognosis. Methods and Results In this international multicenter registry, patients with both PMR and SMR undergoing transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair were included. We assessed rates of acute LVEF reduction (LVEFR), defined as an acute relative decrease of >15% in LVEF, its impact on all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiac event (composite end point of all-cause death, mitral valve surgery, and residual mitral regurgitation grade ≥2), and LVEF at 12 months, as well as predictors for LVEFR. Of 2534 patients included (727 with PMR, and 1807 with SMR), 469 (18.5%) developed LVEFR. Patients with PMR were older (79.0±9.2 versus 71.8±8.9 years; P<0.001) and had higher mean LVEF (54.8±14.0% versus 32.7±10.4%; P<0.001) at baseline. After 6 to 12 months (median, 9.9 months; interquartile range, 7.8-11.9 months), LVEF was significantly lower in patients with PMR (53.0% versus 56.0%; P<0.001) but not in patients with SMR. The 1-year mortality was higher in patients with PMR with LVEFR (16.9% versus 9.7%; P<0.001) but not in those with SMR (P=0.236). LVEF at baseline (odds ratio, 1.03 [95% CI, 1.01-1.05]; P=0.002) was predictive of LVEFR for patients with PMR, but not those with SMR (P=0.092). Conclusions Reduction in LVEF is not uncommon after transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair and is correlated with worsened prognosis in patients with PMR but not patients with SMR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefit related to the use of preprocedural computed tomography angiography (CCTA) on top of periprocedural echocardiography to plan percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) procedures is still unclear. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to evaluate the impact of preprocedural CCTA on LAAC procedural success. METHODS In the investigator-initiated SWISS-APERO (Comparison of Amplatzer Amulet and Watchman Device in Patients Undergoing Left Atrial Appendage Closure) trial, patients undergoing echocardiography-guided LAAC were randomly assigned to receive the Amulet (Abbott) or Watchman 2.5/FLX (Boston Scientific) device across 8 European centers. According to the study protocol ongoing at the time of the procedure, the first operators had (CCTA unblinded group) or did not have (CCTA blinded group) access to preprocedural CCTA images. In this post hoc analysis, we compared blinded vs unblinded procedures in terms of procedural success defined as complete left atrial appendage occlusion as evaluated at the end of LAAC (short-term) or at the 45-day follow-up (long-term) without procedural-related complications. RESULTS Among 219 LAACs preceded by CCTA, 92 (42.1%) and 127 (57.9%) were assigned to the CCTA unblinded and blinded group, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, operator unblinding to preprocedural CCTA remained associated with a higher rate of short-term procedural success (93.5% vs 81.1%; P = 0.009; adjusted OR: 2.76; 95% CI: 1.05-7.29; P = 0.040) and long-term procedural success (83.7% vs 72.4%; P = 0.050; adjusted OR: 2.12; 95% CI: 1.03-4.35; P = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS In a prospective multicenter cohort of clinically indicated echocardiography-guided LAACs, unblinding of the first operators to preprocedural CCTA images was independently associated with a higher rate of both short- and long-term procedural success. Further studies are needed to better evaluate the impact of preprocedural CCTA on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between high postprocedural mean gradient (ppMG) and clinical events following mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MV-TEER) in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) is still debated. AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of elevated ppMG after MV-TEER on clinical events in patients with DMR at 1-year follow-up. METHODS The study included 371 patients with DMR treated with MV-TEER enrolled in the "Multi-center Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (GISE) registry of trans-catheter treatment of mitral valve regurgitation" (GIOTTO) registry. Patients were stratified in tertiles according to ppMG. Primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and hospitalization due to heart failure at 1-year follow-up. RESULTS Patients were stratified as follows: 187 with a ppMG ≤ 3 mmHg, 77 with a ppMG > 3/=4 mmHg, and 107 with a ppMG > 4 mmHg. Clinical follow-up was available in all subjects. At multivariate analysis, neither a ppMG > 4 mmHg nor a ppMG ≥ 5 mmHg were independently associated with the outcome. Notably, the risk of elevated residual MR (rMR > 2+) was significantly higher in patients belonging to the highest tertile of ppMG (p = 0.009). The association of ppMG > 4 mmHg and rMR ≥ 2+ was strongly and independently associated with adverse events (hazard ratio: 1.98; 95% confidence interval: [1.10-3.58]). CONCLUSIONS In a real-world cohort of patients suffering DMR and treated with MV-TEER, isolated ppMG was not associated with the outcome at 1-year follow-up. A high proportion of patients showed both elevated ppMG and rMR and their combination appeared to be a strong predictor of adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A risk score was recently derived from the Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (COAPT) Trial. However, external validation of this score is still lacking. AIMS We aimed to validate the COAPT risk score in a large multicentre population undergoing mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). METHODS The Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (GIse) Registry of Transcatheter Treatment of Mitral Valve RegurgitaTiOn (GIOTTO) population was stratified according to COAPT score quartiles. The performance of the COAPT score for 2-year all-cause death or heart failure (HF) hospitalisation was evaluated in the overall population and in patients with or without a COAPT-like profile. RESULTS Among the 1,659 patients included in the GIOTTO registry, 934 had SMR and complete data for a COAPT risk score calculation. The incidence of 2-year all-cause death or HF hospitalisation progressively increased through the COAPT score quartiles in the overall population (26.4% vs 44.5% vs 49.4% vs 59.7%; log-rank p<0.001) and COAPT-like patients (24.7% vs 32.4% vs 52.3% vs. 53.4%; log-rank p=0.004), but not in those with a non-COAPT-like profile. The COAPT risk score had poor discrimination and good calibration in the overall population, moderate discrimination and good calibration in COAPT-like patients and very poor discrimination and poor calibration in non-COAPT-like patients. CONCLUSIONS The COAPT risk score has a poor performance in the prognostic stratification of real-world patients undergoing M-TEER. However, after application to patients with a COAPT-like profile, moderate discrimination and good calibration were observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic and mitral valve-in-valve (ViV) or valve-in-ring (ViR) implantation into failed bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) or rings represents an appealing, less invasive, treatment option for patients at high surgical risk. Nowadays, few data have been reported on the use of balloon-expandable Myval (Meril Life Science, Vapi, India) transcatheter heart valve (THV) for the treatment of degenerated BHVs or rings. We aimed at evaluating the early and mid-term clinical outcomes of patients with left side heart bioprosthesis deterioration treated with transcatheter ViV/ViR implantation using Myval THV. METHODS 97 consecutive patients with symptomatic, severe aortic(n=33) and mitral(n=64) BHVs/ring dysfunction underwent transcatheter aortic ViV and mitral ViV/ViR implantation with Myval THV. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in 95 (98%) of the patients. Two cases of acute structural trans-catheter mitral ViV/ViR dysfunction requiring a second THV implantation were reported. At 30-day, a significant reduction in prosthetic trans-valvular pressure gradients and increase in valve areas were seen following both aortic and mitral ViV/ViR implantation. Overall survival at 15 months (IQR 8-21) was 92%. Patients undergoing mitral ViV/ViR had a relatively worse survival compared with those undergoing aortic ViV implantation (89% vs. 97% respectively; HR:2.7,CI:0.33-22.7;p=0.34). At longest follow-up available a significant improvement in NYHA functional class I and II was observed in patients with aortic and mitral ViV/ViR implantation(93.8% and 92.1%). CONCLUSIONS Despite high surgical risk, transcatheter ViV/ViR implantation for failed left side heart bioprosthesis can be performed safely using Myval THV with a high success rate and low early and mid-term mortality and morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of aortic stenosis in patients with small annuli is challenging and can result in prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM). AIMS We aimed to compare the forward flow haemodynamics and clinical outcomes of contemporary transcatheter valves in patients with small annuli. METHODS The TAVI-SMALL 2 international retrospective registry included 1,378 patients with severe aortic stenosis and small annuli (annular perimeter <72 mm or area <400 mm2) treated with transfemoral self-expanding (SEV; n=1,092) and balloon-expandable valves (BEV; n=286) in 16 high-volume centres between 2011 and 2020. Analyses comparing SEV versus BEV and supra-annular (SAV; n=920) versus intra-annular valves (IAV; n=458) included inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). The primary endpoints were the predischarge mean aortic gradient and incidence of severe PPM. The secondary endpoint was the incidence of more than mild paravalvular leak (PVL). RESULTS The predischarge mean aortic gradient was lower after SAV versus IAV (7.8±3.9 vs 12.0±5.1; p<0.001) and SEV versus BEV implantation (8.0±4.1 vs 13.6±4.7; p<0.001). Severe PPM was more common with IAV and BEV when compared to SAV and SEV implantation, respectively, (8.8% vs 3.6%; p=0.007 and 8.7% vs 4.6%; p=0.041). At multivariable logistic regression weighted by IPTW, SAV protected from severe PPM regardless of its definition. More than mild PVL occurred more often with SEV versus BEV (11.6% vs 2.6%; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS In small aortic annuli, implantation of SAV and SEV was associated with a more favourable forward haemodynamic profile than after IAV and BEV implantation, respectively. More than mild PVL was more common after SEV than BEV implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) affects approximately 1.5% of the general population and is seen in nearly 50% of candidates for aortic valve replacement (AVR). Despite increasingly utilised transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in aortic stenosis (AS) patients, its use among patients with severe bicuspid AS is limited as BAV is a heterogeneous disease associated with multiple and complex anatomical challenges. AIM To investigate the one-year outcomes of TAVI using the balloon-expandable Myval transcatheter heart valve (THV) (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Vapi, India) in patients with severe bicuspid AS. METHODS AND RESULTS We collected data from consecutive patients with bicuspid AS who underwent TAVI with the Myval THV and had at least one-year follow-up. Baseline characteristics, procedural, and 30-day echocardiographic and clinical outcomes were collected. Sixty-two patients were included in the study. The median age was 72 [66.3, 77.0] years, 45 (72.6%) were males, and the mean STS PROM score was 3.2 ± 2.2%. All TAVI procedures were performed via the transfemoral route. The median follow-up duration was 13.5 [12.2, 18.3] months; all-cause mortality was reported in 7 (11.3%) patients and cardiovascular hospitalisation in 6 (10.6%) patients. All-stroke was reported in 2 (3.2%), permanent pacemaker implantation 5 (8.3%), and myocardial infarction 1 (1.6%) patients. The echocardiographic assessment revealed a mean pressure gradient of 10 [8, 16.5] mmHg, effective orifice area 1.7 [1.4, 1.9] cm2, moderate AR in 1 (2%), mild AR in 14 (27%), and none/trace AR in 37 (71%). In total, 1 patient was diagnosed with valve thrombosis (2.1%), Stage II (moderate) haemodynamic deterioration was seen in 3 (6.4%), and stage III (severe) haemodynamic deterioration in 1 (2.1%) patient. CONCLUSIONS TAVI with the Myval THV in selected BAV anatomy is associated with favourable one-year hemodynamic and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Navitor transcatheter heart valve (THV) is a self-expanding valve, with an intra-annular leaflet position and an outer cuff intended to reduce paravalvular leak (PVL). AIMS The aim of the PORTICO NG Study is to assess the safety and performance of the Navitor THV in patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis who are at high or extreme surgical risk. METHODS PORTICO NG is a prospective, multicentre, global, single-arm, investigational study with follow-up at 30 days, 1 year, and annually up to 5 years. The primary endpoints are all-cause mortality and moderate or greater PVL at 30 days. Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 events and valve performance are assessed by an independent clinical events committee and echocardiographic core laboratory. RESULTS A total of 120 high- or extreme-risk subjects (age 83.5±5.4 years; 58.3% female; Society of Thoracic Surgeons score 4.0±2.0%) were enrolled in the European conformity (CE) mark cohort. Procedural success was high at 97.5%. At 30 days, the rate of all-cause mortality was 0%, and no subjects had moderate or greater PVL. The rate of disabling stroke was 0.8%, life-threatening bleeding was 2.5%, stage 3 acute kidney injury 0%, major vascular complications 0.8%, and new pacemaker implantation 15.0%. At 1 year, the rates of all-cause mortality and disabling stroke were 4.2% and 0.8%, respectively. The rate of moderate PVL was 1.0% at 1 year. Haemodynamic performance with a mean gradient of 7.5±3.2 mmHg and effective orifice area of 1.9±0.4 cm2 was sustained up to 1 year. CONCLUSIONS The PORTICO NG Study demonstrates low rates of adverse events and PVL up to 1 year in patients at high or extreme surgical risk, confirming the safety and efficacy of the Navitor THV system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ischemic or bleeding events might occur after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), with the potential to hamper clinical outcomes. This study aimed to characterize the average daily ischemic risks (ADIRs) and the average daily bleeding risks (ADBRs) over 1-year in all consecutive patients undergoing TAVR. METHODS ADBR included all bleeding events according to VARC-2 definition, and ADIR included cardiovascular deaths, myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. ADIRs and ADBRs were assessed within different timeframes post TAVR: acute (0-30 days), late (31-180 days), and very late (>181 days). Generalized estimating equations were used to test the least squares mean differences for the pairwise comparison of ADIRs and ADBRs. Our analysis was performed in the overall cohort and according to antithrombotic strategy (LT-OAC vs No LT-OAC). RESULTS Ischemic burden was higher than bleeding burden, independently from the indication to LT-OAC, and in all timeframes examined. In the overall population, ADIRs were three-fold ADBRs (0.0467 [95% CI, 0.0431-0.0506] vs 0.0179 [95% CI, 0.0174-0.0185]; p < 0.001*). While ADIR was significantly higher in the acute phase, ADBR was relatively stable in all timeframes analysed. Of note, in LT-OAC population, OAC + SAPT group showed lower ischemic risk and higher bleeding events compared with OAC alone (ADIR: 0.0447 [95% CI: 0.0417-0.0477] vs 0.0642 [95% CI: 0.0557-0.0728]; p < 0.001*, ADBR 0.0395 [95% CI: 0.0381-0.0409] vs 0.0147 [95% CI: 0.0138-0.0156]; p < 0.001*). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing TAVR Average daily risk fluctuates over time. However, ADIRs overcome ADBRs in all timeframes, especially in the acute phase and regardless of antithrombotic strategy adopted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex-specific characteristics in patients with aortic stenosis and small annuli undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) might affect clinical outcomes and hemodynamics. METHODS TAVI-SMALL 2 international retrospective registry included 1378 patients with severe aortic stenosis and small annuli (annular perimeter <72 mm or area < 400 mm2) treated with transfemoral TAVI at 16 high-volume centers between 2011 and 2020. Women (n = 1233) were compared with men (n = 145). One-to-one propensity score (PS) matching resulted in 99 pairs. Primary endpoint was incidence of all-cause mortality. Incidence of pre-discharge severe prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) and its association with all-cause mortality were investigated. Binary logistic and Cox regression were performed to adjust the treatment effect for PS quintiles. RESULTS Incidence of all-cause mortality at a median follow-up of 377 days did not differ between sex in the overall (10.3 vs. 9.8%, p = 0.842) and PS-matched (8.5 vs. 10.9%, p = 0.586) populations. After PS matching, pre-discharge severe PPM was numerically higher in women vs. men (10.2 vs. 4.3%), even though no evidence of a difference was found (p = 0.275). Within the overall population, women with severe PPM suffered a higher incidence of all-cause mortality when compared to those with less than moderate PPM (log-rank p = 0.024) and less than severe PPM (p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS No difference in all-cause mortality at medium-term follow-up was observed between women and men with aortic stenosis and small annuli undergoing TAVI. Incidence of pre-discharge severe PPM was numerically higher in women than men, and it was associated with increased all-cause mortality in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal access route in patients with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains undetermined. OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare clinical outcomes with transfemoral access (TFA), transthoracic access (TTA), and nonthoracic transalternative access (TAA) in TAVR patients with severe PAD. METHODS Patients with PAD and hostile femoral access (TFA impossible, or possible only after percutaneous treatment) undergoing TAVR at 28 international centers were included in this registry. The primary endpoint was the propensity-adjusted risk of 30-day major adverse events (MAE) defined as the composite of all-cause mortality, stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), or main access site-related Valve Academic Research Consortium 3 major vascular complications. Outcomes were also stratified according to the severity of PAD using a novel risk score (Hostile score). RESULTS Among the 1,707 patients included in the registry, 518 (30.3%) underwent TAVR with TFA after percutaneous treatment, 642 (37.6%) with TTA, and 547 (32.0%) with TAA (mostly transaxillary). Compared with TTA, both TFA (adjusted HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.45-0.75) and TAA (adjusted HR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.47-0.78) were associated with lower 30-day rates of MAE, driven by fewer access site-related complications. Composite risks at 1 year were also lower with TFA and TAA compared with TTA. TFA compared with TAA was associated with lower 1-year risk of stroke/TIA (adjusted HR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.24-0.98), a finding confined to patients with low Hostile scores (Pinteraction = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with PAD undergoing TAVR, both TFA and TAA were associated with lower 30-day and 1-year rates of MAE compared with TTA, but 1-year stroke/TIA rates were higher with TAA compared with TFA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No detailed data on left bundle branch block (LBBB) and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) exist from randomised clinical trials comparing the ACURATE neo and CoreValve Evolut devices. AIMS Our aim was to assess the incidence and impact of new LBBB and PPI with self-expanding prostheses from a powered randomised comparison. METHODS From the SCOPE 2 trial, 648 patients with no previous pacemaker were analysed for PPI at 30 days, and 426 patients without previous LBBB were adopted for analysis of LBBB at 30 days. Results: At 30 days, 16.5% of patients required PPI; rates were higher in CoreValve Evolut compared to ACURATE neo recipients (21.0% vs 12.3%; p=0.004). Previous right bundle branch block (odds ratio [OR] 6.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.19-11.73; p<0.001) was associated with an increased risk of PPI at 30 days, whereas the use of the ACURATE neo (OR 0.50, 95% CI: 0.31-0.81; p=0.005) was associated with a decreased risk. One-year mortality was similar in patients with and without new PPI. A total of 9.4% of patients developed persistent LBBB at 30 days, with higher incidences in CoreValve Evolut recipients (13.4% vs 5.5%; p=0.007). New LBBB at 30 days was associated with lower ejection fraction at 1 year (65.7%±11.0 vs 69.1%±7.6; p=0.041). CONCLUSIONS New LBBB and PPI rates were lower in ACURATE neo compared to CoreValve Evolut recipients. The ACURATE neo valve was associated with a lower risk of PPI at 30 days. No effect on 1-year mortality was determined for PPI at 30 days, while LBBB at 30 days was associated with reduced ejection fraction at 1 year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Well-developed collaterals are assumed as a marker of viability and ischemia in chronic total occlusions (CTO). We aim to correlate viability and ischemia with collateral presence and extent in CTO patients by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). METHODS Multicentre study of 150 CTO patients undergoing stress-CMR, including adenosine if normal systolic function, high-dose-dobutamine for patients with akinetic/>2 hypokinetic segments and EF ≥35%, otherwise low-dose-dobutamine (LDD); all patients underwent late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Viability was defined as mean LGE transmurality ≤50% for adenosine, as functional improvement for dobutamine-stress-test, ischemia as ≥1.5 segments with perfusion defects outside the scar zone. RESULTS Rentrop 3/CC 2 defined well-developed (WD, n = 74) vs poorly-developed collaterals (PD, n = 76). Viability was equally prevalent in WD vs PD: normo-functional myocardium with ≤50% LGE in 52% vs 58% segments, p = 0.76, functional improvement by LDD in 48% vs 52%, p = 0.12. Segments with none, 1-25%,26-50%,51-75% LGE showed viability by LDD in 90%,84%,81%,61% of cases, whilst in 12% if 76-100% LGE (p < 0.01). There was no difference in WD vs PD for ischemia presence (74% vs 75%, p = 0.99) and extent (2.7 vs 2.8 segments, p = 0.77). CONCLUSIONS In a large cohort of CTO patients, presence and extent of collaterals did not predict viability and ischemia by stress-CMR. Scar extent up to 75% LGE was still associated with viability, whereas ischemia was undetectable in 25% of patients, suggesting that the assessment of CTO patients with CMR would lead to a more comprehensive evaluation of viability and ischemia to guide revascularization.

Abstract
Background The Cocoon patent foramen ovale (PFO) Occluder is a new generation nitinol alloy double-disk device coated with nanoplatinum, likely useful in patients with nickel hypersensitivity. Early results and mid-term outcomes of this device in percutaneous PFO closure are missing. Aims To assess the preliminary efficacy and safety profile of PFO closure with Cocoon device in an Italian multi-center registry. Methods This is a prospective registry of 189 consecutive adult patients treated with the Cocoon PFO Occluder at 15 Italian centers from May 2017 till May 2020. Patients were followed up for 2 years. Results Closure of the PFO with Cocoon Occluder was carried out successfully in all patients, with complete closure without residual shunt in 94.7% of the patients and minimal shunt in 5.3%. Except from a case of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and a major vascular bleeding, no procedural and in-hospital device-related complications occurred. No patient developed cardiac erosions, allergic reactions to nickel, or any other major complications during the follow-up. During the follow-up period, 2 cases of new-onset atrial fibrillation occurred within thirty-day. Conclusions Percutaneous closure of PFO with Cocoon Occluder provided satisfactory procedural and mid-term clinical follow-up results in a real-world registry.

Abstract
Up to half of real-world patients with secondary mitral regurgitation who underwent transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) do not meet the highly selective COAPT (Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation) criteria. No randomized trials or standardized and validated tools exist to evaluate the risk: benefit ratio of TEER in this specific population. We sought to derive and externally validate a clinical risk score to predict the risk of death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization for COAPT-ineligible patients who underwent TEER (CITE score). The study population consisted of patients with secondary mitral regurgitation having at least 1 exclusion criterion of the COAPT trial. The derivation cohort included 489 patients from the GIOTTO (GIse registry of Transcatheter treatment of Mitral Valve regurgitaTiOn) registry. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify predictors of 2-year death/HF hospitalization and develop a numerical risk score. The predictive performance was assessed in the derivation cohort and validated in 268 patients from the MiZüBr (Milan-Zürich-Brescia) registry. The CITE score (hemodynamic instability, left ventricular impairment, New York Heart Association class III/IV, peripheral artery disease, atrial fibrillation, brain natriuretic peptide, and hemoglobin) showed a c-index for 2-year death or HF hospitalization of 0.70 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67 to 0.73) in the derivation cohort, and 0.68 (95% CI 0.64 to 0.73) in the validation cohort. A cutoff of <12 points was selected to identify patients at lower risk of adverse outcomes, hazard ratio of 0.35 (95% CI 0.26 to 0.46). In conclusion, the CITE score is a simple 7-item tool for the prediction of death or HF hospitalization at 2 years after TEER in COAPT-ineligible patients. The score may support clinical decision-making by identifying those patients who, even if excluded from clinical trials, can still benefit from TEER.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) represents about 6-8% of patients presenting with myocardial infarction (MI), and it is associated with a significant risk of mortality, rehospitalisation, and angina burden, with high associated socioeconomic costs. It is important to note that multiple mechanisms may be responsible for MINOCA. However, to date, there are few prospective clinical trials on MINOCA and the treatment of these patients is still not defined, most likely because of the multiple underlying pathogenic mechanisms. The PROMISE trial is a randomised, multicentre, prospective, superiority, phase IV trial that will include 180 MINOCA patients randomised 1:1 to a "precision-medicine approach", consisting of a comprehensive diagnostic workup and pharmacological treatment specific for the underlying cause, versus a "standard of care" approach, consisting of routine diagnostic workup and standard medical treatment for acute coronary syndrome. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the "precision-medicine approach" will improve the angina status, evaluated using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire summary score, at 12 months (primary endpoint). Secondary endpoints include the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events at 12-month follow-up, the related primary and secondary healthcare costs, and the ability of cardiac magnetic resonance to evaluate the different mechanisms of MINOCA. Of importance, the results derived from this trial may pave the way for a new pathophysiology-driven approach with cause-target therapies personalised for the mechanisms of MINOCA (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05122780).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preprocedural right ventricular-to-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling is a major predictor of outcome in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER). However, clinical significance of changes in RV-PA coupling after M-TEER is unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in RV-PA coupling after M-TEER, their prognostic value, and predictors of improvement. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study, including patients undergoing successful M-TEER (residual mitral regurgitation ≤2+ at discharge) for SMR at 13 European centers and with complete echocardiographic data at baseline and short-term follow-up (30-180 days). RV-PA coupling was assessed with the use of echocardiography as the ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP). All-cause death was assessed at the longest available follow-up starting from the time of the echocardiographic reassessment. RESULTS Among 501 patients included, 331 (66%) improved their TAPSE/PASP after M-TEER (responders) at short-term follow-up (median: 89 days; IQR: 43-159 days), whereas 170 (34%) did not (nonresponders). Lack of previous cardiac surgery, low postprocedural mitral mean gradient, low baseline TAPSE, high baseline PASP, and baseline tricuspid regurgitation were independently associated with TAPSE/PASP improvement after M-TEER. Compared with nonresponders, responders had lower New York Heart Association functional class and less heart failure hospitalizations at short-term follow-up. Improvement in TAPSE/PASP was independently associated with reduced risk of mortality at long-term follow-up (584 days; IQR: 191-1,243 days) (HR: 0.65 [95% CI: 0.42-0.92]; P = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS In patients with SMR, improvement in TAPSE/PASP after successful M-TEER is predicted by baseline clinical and echocardiographic variables and postprocedural mitral gradient, and is associated with a better outcome.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate short-term changes in tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) in secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR), their predictors and impact on mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a retrospective analysis of SMR patients undergoing successful M-TEER (post-procedural mitral regurgitation ≤2+) at 13 European centres. Among 503 patients evaluated 79 (interquartile range [IQR] 40-152) days after M-TEER, 173 (35%) showed ≥1 degree of TR improvement, 97 (19%) had worsening of TR, and 233 (46%) remained unchanged. Smaller baseline left atrial diameter and residual mitral regurgitation 0/1+ were independent predictors of TR ≤2+ after M-TEER. There was a significant association between TR changes and New York Heart Association class and pulmonary artery systolic pressure decrease at echocardiographic re-assessment. At a median follow-up of 590 (IQR 209-1103) days from short-term echocardiographic re-assessment, all-cause mortality was lower in patients with improved compared to those with unchanged/worsened TR (29.6% vs. 42.3% at 3 years; log-rank p = 0.034). Baseline TR severity was not associated with mortality, whereas TR 0/1+ and 2+ at short-term follow-up was associated with lower all-cause mortality compared to TR 3/4+ (30.6% and 35.6% vs. 55.6% at 3 years; p < 0.001). A TR ≤2+ after M-TEER was independently associated with a 42% decreased risk of mortality (p = 0.011). CONCLUSION More than one third of patients with SMR undergoing successful M-TEER experienced an improvement in TR. Pre-procedural TR was not associated with outcome, but a TR ≤2+ at short-term follow-up was independently associated with long-term mortality. Optimal M-TEER result and a small left atrium were associated with a higher likelihood of TR ≤2+ after M-TEER.

Abstract
Patients with non-paradoxical low-flow-low-gradient (LFLG) aortic stenosis (AS) are at increased surgical risk, and thus, they may particularly benefit from transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, data on this issue are still limited and based on the results with older-generation transcatheter heart valves (THVs). The aim of this study was to investigate early and mid-term outcome of TAVR with newer-generation THVs in the setting of LFLG AS. Data for the present analysis were gathered from the OBSERVANT II dataset, a national Italian observational, prospective, multicenter cohort study that enrolled 2,989 consecutive AS patients who underwent TAVR at 30 Italian centers between December 2016 and September 2018, using newer-generation THVs. Overall, 420 patients with LVEF ≤50% and mean aortic gradient <40 mmHg were included in this analysis. The primary outcomes were 1-year all-cause mortality and a combined endpoint including all-cause mortality and hospital readmission due to congestive heart failure (CHF) at 1 year. A risk-adjusted analysis was performed to compare the outcome of LFLG AS patients treated with TAVR (n = 389) with those who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR, n = 401) from the OBSERVANT I study. Patients with LFLG AS undergoing TAVR were old (mean age, 80.8 ± 6.7 years) and with increased operative risk (mean EuroSCORE II, 11.5 ± 10.2%). VARC-3 device success was 83.3% with 7.6% of moderate/severe paravalvular leak. Thirty-day mortality was 3.1%. One-year all-cause mortality was 17.4%, and the composite endpoint was 34.8%. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (HR 1.78) and EuroSCORE II (HR 1.02) were independent predictors of 1-year mortality, while diabetes (HR 1.53) and class NYHA IV (HR 2.38) were independent predictors of 1-year mortality or CHF. Compared with LFLG AS treated with SAVR, TAVR patients had a higher rate of major vascular complications and permanent pacemaker, while SAVR patients underwent more frequently to blood transfusion, cardiogenic shock, AKI, and MI. However, 30-day and 1-year outcomes were similar between groups. Patients with non-paradoxical LFLG AS treated by TAVR were older and with higher surgical risk compared with SAVR patients. Notwithstanding, TAVR was safe and effective with a similar outcome to SAVR at both early and mid-term.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with increased mortality. However, it is controversial whether AKI affects prognosis per se, being linked to baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) and bleeding complications. The aim of this study was to disentangle, applying mediation analysis, the association between AKI and clinical outcome, considering CKD and bleedings. Methods and Results Consecutive patients undergoing TAVR were prospectively enrolled at 5 high-volume centers in Italy. AKI was defined according to Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 consensus, whereas bleeding with Bleeding Academic Research Consortium. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality after 1-year follow-up. Among 2621 patients undergoing TAVR, AKI occurrence was associated with 1-year mortality. This association of AKI with the primary end points remained significant after adjusting for baseline risk estimators, either Society of Thoracic Surgeons score (hazard ratio [HR], 2.78 [95% CI, 1.95-3.80], P<0.001) or EuroSCORE-II (HR, 1.85 [95% CI, 1.35-2.56], P<0.001). Both AKI and CKD significantly and independently affected primary outcome (HR, 3.06 [95% CI, 2.01-4.64], P<0.001 and HR, 1.82 [95% CI 1.27-2.65], P<0.01, respectively). The estimated proportion of the total effect of CKD mediated via AKI was, on average, 15%, 95% CI, 4%-29%, P<0.001. The significant effect of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 2-5 bleedings on the primary outcome was not mediated by AKI. Conclusions AKI occurs in 1 out of 6 patients and significantly mediates one fifth of the effect of baseline CKD on all-cause mortality after TAVR. Our analysis supports a systematic effort to prevent AKI during TAVR, which may potentially translate into improved patients' 1-year survival.

Abstract
Despite being highly effective in reducing residual mitral regurgitation and improving outcomes, mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MV-TEER) may be associated with high postprocedural residual mitral gradient (rMG). Conflicting results have been reported regarding the relation between rMG and adverse events. This study aimed to evaluate the predictors and the impact of elevated rMG after MV-TEER on clinical events in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) at 2 years follow-up. We selected a cohort of 864 patients with FMR who were treated with MV-TEER enrolled in the multicentre Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (GISE) registry of transcatheter treatment of mitral valve regurgitation (GIOTTO). Patients were stratified into tertiles according to rMG. The primary clinical end point was a composite of all-cause death and hospitalization because of heart failure at 2-year follow-up. Overall, 269 patients (31.5%) with an rMG <3 mm Hg, 259 (30.3%) with an rMG ≥3/<4 mm Hg, and 326 (38.2%) with an rMG ≥4 mm Hg were considered. At multivariate logistic regression, ischemic FMR etiology, baseline MG, and the number of implanted clips were independent predictors of an rMG ≥4 mm Hg. Clinical follow-up was available in 570 patients (63.2%). Patients with an rMG ≥4 mm Hg experienced higher rates of the composite end point than patients of the other tertiles (51.1%, vs 42.3% vs 40.8% log-rank test: p = 0.033). In multivariate Cox's regression, both rMG ≥4 mm Hg (hazard ratio 1.54, 95% confidence interval 1.14 to 2.08) and residual mitral regurgitation ≥2+ (hazard ratio 1.36, 95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.83) were independent predictors of adverse events at 2-year follow-up. In conclusion, we demonstrated that real-world patients who underwent MV-TEER who show an rMG ≥4 mm Hg are at higher risk of death or hospitalization because of heart failure during a 2-year follow-up. Further studies will be needed to confirm our results.
