1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundValve-in-valve (ViV) procedures are an established therapy. Self-expanding (SE) supra-annular transcatheter heart valves (THV) achieve superior hemodynamics compared to balloon-expandable (BE) intra-annular THV, but influence of stent design versus valve position remains unclear.

aimsThis study compares SE intra- and supra-annular THV for aortic ViV procedures to further elucidate this topic.

methodsFrom 05/2022 to 11/2023, 10 patients underwent ViV procedures with the SE intra-annular Navitor valve. A control group of 22 patients treated with the SE supra-annular Evolut R/PRO valve during the same period was retrieved from our database. Data were retrospectively analyzed according to updated valve academic research consortium (VARC) 3 definitions. A subgroup analysis matched patients for true internal diameter (ID) and body mass index (BMI).

resultsPostprocedural transvalvular gradients were similar between groups. No differences in rates of significant paravalvular leakage (PVL) were seen (p = 0.131). No all-cause mortality occurred in either group. Device success (study group, Navitor: 70 [7] vs. control group, Evolut: 90.1 [20]; p = 0.293), early safety (90 [9] vs. 86.4 [19]; p = 1.000), permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) (0 [0] vs. 9.1 [2]; p = 1.000), and stroke (0 [0] vs. 4.5 [1]; p = 1.000) were similar between groups. Procedure time was shorter for the study group (65.8 ± 27.9 min vs. 145.7 ± 51.3 min; p < 0.001). After matching for True ID and BMI these results persisted.

conclusionIntra- and supra-annular THV showed similar clinical and hemodynamic outcomes in aortic ViV procedures. These findings highlight the applicability of SE intra-annular THV for aortic ViV procedures.
