Abstract

Background: transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is known to enhance valve structure and function in old adults with aortic stenosis. Aim: to evaluate the clinical and functional characteristics of 40 patients (mean age 79 ± 5 years) undergoing transfemoral TAVI during their hospital stay. Methods: this cross-sectional study. Data on mean aortic valve area, Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) morbidity and mortality score, echocardiographic measurements, peak cough flow (PCF), handgrip strength (HGS), 5-meter walk test (5MWT), and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were collected at three time points: pre-TAVI, post-TAVI, and at hospital discharge. Results: results showed reductions in peripheral oxygen saturation (p = 0.004), peak aortic gradient (p = 0.001), and mean aortic gradient post-TAVI (p = 0.001), along with increased left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.001) and prolonged 5MWT completion time on the first postoperative day (p =0.003). Moderate negative correlations were observed between the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II score (EuroSCORE II) score and PCF (r = -0.329; p = 0.041), STS with PCF (r = -0.473; p = 0.002), and STS with 6MWT at discharge (r = -0.324; p = 0.044), as well as STS with HGS pre-TAVI (r = -0.363; p = 0.041). Conclusion: changes in clinical and functional variables, the increase in 5MWT time suggests a deterioration in frailty in the population. Implementing pre- and postoperative rehabilitation programs may help mitigate functional losses in this clinically vulnerable population.

Resumo

Introdução: o implante transcateter de válvula aórtica (TAVI) é conhecido por melhorar a estrutura e função da válvula em idosos com estenose aórtica. Objetivo: avaliar as características clínicas e funcionais de 40 pacientes (idade média de 79 ± 5 anos) submetidos a TAVI transfemoral durante a internação hospitalar. Métodos: estudo observacional. Dados sobre área valvar aórtica média, escore de morbidade e mortalidade da Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), medidas ecocardiográficas, pico de fluxo de tosse (PFT), força de preensão manual (FPM), teste de caminhada de 5 metros (TC5M) e teste de caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6M) foram coletados em três momentos: pré-TAVI, pós-TAVI e na alta hospitalar. Resultados: os resultados mostraram reduções na saturação periférica de oxigênio (p = 0,004), pico do gradiente aórtico (p = 0,001) e gradiente aórtico médio pós-TAVI (p = 0,001), juntamente com aumento da fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (p = 0,001) e prolongamento do tempo de conclusão do TC5M no primeiro dia de pós-operatório (p =0,003). Foram observadas correlações negativas moderadas entre o escore European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II score (EuroSCORE II) e PFT (r = -0,329; p = 0,041), STS com PFT (r = -0,473; p = 0,002) e STS com TC6 na alta hospitalar (r = -0,324; p = 0,044), bem como do STS com FPM pré-TAVI (r = -0,363; p = 0,041). Conclusão: alterações nas variáveis clínicas e funcionais, o aumento do tempo do TC5M sugere piora da fragilidade na população. A implementação de programas de reabilitação pré e pós-operatória pode ajudar a mitigar as perdas funcionais nesta população clinicamente vulnerável.
