Low-flow low-gradient AS

• Definition• Low EF LFLG severe AS:
– LVEF <40%, Gradient <40mmHg, Low Flow: SVI <35 (or CI <3)
• Normal EF LFLG AS– LVEF >50%, Gradient <40mmHg, Low Flow: SVI <35 (or CI <3)
• Pseudo-AS– LVEF <40%, Gradient <40mmHg, Low Flow: SVI <35 (or CI <3)
• Normal EF NFLG AS– LVEF >50%, Gradient <40mmHg, Flow: SVI >35

Diagnostic challenges
• Stroke volume indexReduced even in HIGH-gradient AS
O’Sullivan, EHJ 2013
![Page 15: Unraveling low-flow , low-gradient aotic stenosis fabian nestispach Head TAVI](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062506/58a8a2fd1a28ab7f458b5417/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Gradient ‘per se’ not suited for AS quantification
Gradient: marker for myocardial function / risk assessment
AVA-calculations come with many confounders
![Page 16: Unraveling low-flow , low-gradient aotic stenosis fabian nestispach Head TAVI](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062506/58a8a2fd1a28ab7f458b5417/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Diagnostic challenges
• Low EF LFLG without contractile reserve
With contractile reserve (SV increase >20%)- Dobutamine SE
- AVA <1 severe AS- AVA >1 Pseudo AS
Without contractile reserve (SV increase <20%)- Severe AS? Pseudo AS?
Highest surgical risk
![Page 17: Unraveling low-flow , low-gradient aotic stenosis fabian nestispach Head TAVI](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062506/58a8a2fd1a28ab7f458b5417/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Is the distinction important?
• …maybe not so much…!
Group I: contractile reserveGroup II: no contractile reserve
Monin et al, Circulation 2003
![Page 18: Unraveling low-flow , low-gradient aotic stenosis fabian nestispach Head TAVI](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062506/58a8a2fd1a28ab7f458b5417/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Should patients with pseudo-AS undergo AVR??
Pseudo with (T)AVR?
Adapted from Fougeres et al, EHJ 2012
(T)AVR facilitating myocardial recovery?
(T)AVR slowing down myocardial deterioration?
![Page 19: Unraveling low-flow , low-gradient aotic stenosis fabian nestispach Head TAVI](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062506/58a8a2fd1a28ab7f458b5417/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Therapeutic options
• Medical therapy
Normal EF LFLG AS benefits from AVR
Prognosis of Low EF LFLG AS with MedTx is dismal
Hachicha et al, Circulation 2007

Therapeutic options
• Surgical valve replacement
Excess of 30-day mortality for LGLF (6.3%)
(Odds Ratio for PLF: 3)
Excess 10year mortality for Low EF LGLF
Clavel et al, JACC 2015
![Page 21: Unraveling low-flow , low-gradient aotic stenosis fabian nestispach Head TAVI](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062506/58a8a2fd1a28ab7f458b5417/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Therapeutic options
• Transcatheter Aortic Vave Implantation– Theoretical advantages
• Less invasive faster recovery, suited for high-risk pts• No extracorporal circulation
– suited for hypertrophic LV’s with diastolic dysfunction– Suited for failing LV’s with systolic dysfunction
• Better hemodynamics– Less risk of PPM

Follow-up after 3 and 6mts
• Patient doing well• NYHA I• P-mean 10mmHg• Mild mitral regurgitation

Complex patients
• Diagnostic challenge• Do we have the right cut-off values?
• Clinical challenge• When to treat?
– Earlier d/t concomitant myocardial disease ( additional benefit)
• How to treat?– SAVR versus TAVI
