Circulation Journal ORIGINAL ARTICLE Official Journal of the Japanese Circulation Society Cardiovascular Surgery Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement Arudo Hiraoka, MD; Toshinori Totsugawa, MD, PhD; Masahiko Kuinose, MD, PhD; Kosuke Nakajima; Genta Chikazawa, MD, PhD; Kentaro Tamura, MD; Hidenori Yoshitaka, MD, PhD; Taichi Sakaguchi, MD, PhD Background: Right mini-thoracotomy and partial sternotomy are widely recognized as effective approaches in minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (AVR). The aim of this study was to evaluate the objective benefits of the respective approaches compared to the conventional approach. Methods and Results: A retrospective analysis was performed in 282 consecutive patients who underwent isolated and initial AVR at a single cardiovascular institute between May 2007 and December Mini-thoracotomy and partial sternotomy were performed in 62 (22%) and in 26 patients (9%), respectively. Propensity score matching produced 36 (mini-thoracotomy vs. full sternotomy) and 24 (partial sternotomy vs. full sternotomy) well-matched pairs. Compared to the conventional approach, mini-thoracotomy was associated with significantly shorter operative time (235±35 min vs. 272±73 min; P=0.009), lower prevalence of blood transfusion (42%, 15/36 vs. 67%, 24/36; P=0.025), and significantly shorter intensive care unit and postoperative hospital stay (1.4±0.8 days vs. 2.2±1.1 days, P=0.001; and 13.3±6.5 days vs. 21.5±10.3 days, P=0.001; respectively). There were no significant differences in operative and postoperative data between the partial sternotomy and full sternotomy groups. Conclusions: The objective benefits of right mini-thoracotomy included early rehabilitation and lower prevalence of blood transfusion. Significant advantages of partial sternotomy were not found.

As minimally invasive AVR (MIAVR), the partial sternotomy and right mini-thoracotomy approaches are widely known, and various advantages of MIAVR have been reported compared to conventional AVR (CAVR) with full sternotomy. 1 3 Different indications for MIAVR, however, can be a cause of preoperative selection bias and it is difficult to prove the real benefits of MIAVR. Propensity score matching, therefore, has been used for comparison between CAVR and right mini-thoracotomy AVR (RTAVR), indicating significant efficacy of RTAVR. 4,5 But there are still few reports on the real benefits of MIAVR including partial sternotomy AVR (PSAVR) and RTAVR. Thus, we compared CAVR with RTAVR and PSAVR using propensity score matching to evaluate the objective benefits of RTAVR and PSAVR at a single center. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 282 consecutive patients who underwent isolated and initial AVR at a single cardiovascular institute between May 2007 and December We introduced RTAVR in May 2007, and 62 patients (22%) underwent RTAVR in this cohort. We did not select RTAVR for patients with marginal respiratory function, occlusive disease in the aorta, iliac and femoral artery, and extremely low activities of daily living. PSAVR was performed in 26 patients (9%) who were not candidates for RTAVR, but who still had good indications for early rehabilitation. Because there were significant differences in preoperative patient background, we used propensity score matching to reduce the influences of selection bias. This study was approved by the local institutional review board.

The RTAVR technique has been reported previously, and will be described briefly here. 6 After intubation with a double lumen endotracheal tube for 1 lung ventilation, surgical access to the aortic valve is through the 3rd anterior intercostal space with a 5 6-cm skin incision. Ribs are not divided. Right femoral artery and vein are cannulated to establish cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Left atrial venting is initiated through the right upper pulmonary vein. After direct aortic cross-clamping by modified Chitwood sliding clamp with a greater curvature, cardiac arrest is easily achieved by selective deliveries of cardioplegic solution into both coronary orifices through transverse aortotomy. In patients without aortic insufficiency (AI), antegrade cardioplegic solution is given through aortic root cannula. After a prosthetic valve is sewn into place in standard fashion, the aortotomy is closed. Deairing procedure through the aortic root and left atrial vents is completed, and CPB is terminated. Statistical Analysis Continuous data are presented as mean ± SD, and were analyzed using 2-tailed t-test, or Mann-Whitney test for independent data as appropriate. Categorical variables are given as count and percentage and were compared using chi-squared or Fisher s exact test. Multiple comparisons between 3 groups (RTAVR, PSAVR and CAVR) were done using 2-tailed t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous variables, or chi-squared test for categorical variables with the Holm-Sidak correction. Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis, including significant parameters identified on univariate analysis (at P<0.1), was used to evaluate the most significant determinants of postoperative length of intensive care unit (ICU) and postoperative hospital stay in MIAVR. To analyze the correlation between operation date and patient age, operative time, perfusion time, and aortic clamp time, and days from date when each procedure was initially introduced, were used. P-value after correction is used, and P<0.05 was considered significant. All data were analyzed using JMP 9.0 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA). In addition, we performed adjustment for significant differences in patient baseline characteristics with propensity score matching using a 1:1 nearest-neighbor-matching algorithm with a ±0.05 caliper and no replacement, yielding 36 (RTAVR vs. CAVR) and 24 (PSAVR vs. CAVR) propensity scorematched observations, respectively. The propensity score was estimated using a multivariate logistic regression model with indication for MIAVR as the variable, and the 20 baseline characteristics as covariates. The model fit and predictive power were measured with the C-statistic (0.88 and 0.74, respectively). Paired comparison of intraoperative and postoperative data were done using conditional logistic regression analysis for categorical variables and paired t-test for continuous variables. 7 Results RTAVR vs. CAVR Preoperative Patient Characteristics RTAVR was performed in 62 patients (22%). Compared to the CAVR group (194 patients, 69%), significantly younger age, lower prevalence

Additionally, significantly lower prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS; 39%, 24/62 vs. 75%, 146/194; P<0.001), higher grade of AI (2.8±1.4 vs. 2.2±1.2; P=0.003) and better New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (1.5±0.8 vs. 2.0±1.0; P=0.003) were observed in the RTAVR group. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score was significantly lower in the RTAVR group compared to the CAVR group (mortality: 0.87±0.72 vs. 2.27± 1.69; P<0.001; mortality or morbidity: 9.1±5.0 vs. 14.5±7.6; P<0.001). Table 1 lists the unmatched comparisons. Propensity score matching produced 36 (RTAVR vs. CAVR) matched pairs. Table 1 lists comparisons of preoperative patient background after propensity score matching. There were no significant differences in all covariates including STS risk score in the pairs, and the models fitted well. Operative and Postoperative Data On unmatched comparison, significantly prolonged CPB and aortic clamping time (136±31 min vs. 110±32 min, P<0.001; and 95±23 min vs. 80± 22 min, P<0.001; respectively), and larger size of prosthetic valve (22.1±2.1 mm vs. 20.8±1.9 mm; P<0.001) were seen in the RTAVR group, compared to the CAVR group. The prevalence of blood transfusion was significantly lower in the RTAVR group (P<0.001). Overall 30-day mortality was 1.1% (3/282), and there was 1 death as a result of bleeding from the intercostal artery in the RTAVR group. There were no significant differences in postoperative major complications between all groups. Significantly shorter length of ICU and postoperative hospital stays were observed in the RTAVR group compared to the CAVR group (1.3±0.7 days vs. 2.4±1.5 days, P<0.001; and 13.3±5.6 days vs. 20.5±9.1 days, P<0.001; respectively), and CCr significantly decreased in the CAVR group. Regarding the matched comparison between RTAVR and CAVR, significantly shorter operative time (235±35 min vs. 272±73 min; P=0.009) and lower prevalence of blood transfu- sion (42%, 15/36 vs. 67%, 24/36; P=0.025) were found in the RTAVR group. Additionally, significantly shorter ICU and postoperative hospital stays were observed in the RTAVR group (1.4±0.8 days vs. 2.2±1.1 days, P=0.001; and 13.3±6.5 days vs. 21.5±10.3 days, P=0.001; respectively). Table 2 lists the unmatched and matched comparisons of operative and postoperative data. PSAVR vs. CAVR PSAVR was performed in 26 patients (9%). There was a significantly higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (15%, 4/26 vs. 4%, 7/194; P=0.029) and lower grade of AI (1.7±1.4 vs. 2.2±1.2; P=0.049) in the PSAVR group compared to CAVR. There were no significant differences in STS score between PSAVR and CAVR. Propensity score matching produced 24 (PSAVR vs. CAVR) matched pairs, and there were no significant differences in all covariates (Table 3). In the unmatched comparison, the prevalence of blood transfusion was significantly lower in the PSAVR group (P=0.035). There were no significant differences, however, in operative and postoperative data in the matched comparison between the PSAVR and CAVR groups (Table 4). Risk Factors for Length of ICU and Hospital Stay in MIAVR Uni- and multivariate analysis was done to identify risk factors for prolonged ICU and postoperative hospital stay in MIAVR, including PSAVR and RTAVR. Univariate linear regression test isolated age, BSA, CCr, NYHA class, prosthetic valve size, operative time, lowest core temperature, hypertension, dialysis, AS, PSAVR, and blood transfusion as correlated factors with postoperative ICU stay. On multivariate analysis, smaller BSA, dialysis, PSAVR and extended operative time were identified as risk factors for prolonged ICU stay in MIAVR (P=0.023, 0.023, and 0.022, respectively), whereas age, female gender, BSA, CCr, atrial fibrillation, AS, PSAVR, prosthetic valve size and blood transfusion were isolated as correlated factors with length of postoperative hospital stay on

Although the efficacy of RTAVR has been reported, a lack of prospective randomized trials comparing CAVR and preoperative significant selection bias make it difficult to confirm the real benefits of RTAVR. 13,14 Therefore, propensity score was used for matched comparison between RTAVR and CAVR, and shorter ventilation time, ICU and hospital stay, lower incidence of AF and blood transfusion have been reported as advantages of RTAVR. 4,5 In these reports, PSAVR and RTAVR were evaluated separately, and the outcomes of PSAVR and RTAVR were not simultaneously compared with the conventional approach within a single institute. In the present study, comparison of postoperative outcome between RTAVR, PSAVR and CAVR was done at a single center. On unmatched comparison, there were significant differences in preoperative characteristics between RTAVR and CAVR, given that we initially introduced RTAVR for younger patients suffering from AI. Therefore, we used propensity score to adjust for significant differences in preoperative patient background, and significantly shorter operative time, lower prevalence of blood transfusion, significantly shorter ICU and postoperative hospital stay were observed in the RTAVR group compared to the CAVR group. Additionally, significantly longer CPB and aortic clamping time seen on unmatched comparison were not observed in the matched comparison, and operative time was significantly shorter in the RTAVR group. The faster closing time in mini-thoracotomy may be responsible for these results, but there were no significant differences in operative and postoperative data in the PSAVR group compared with the CAVR group. Additionally, PSAVR can be a significant cause of prolonged ICU stay compared to RTAVR. Regarding these findings, while objective advantages were not found for partial sternotomy, actual benefits for right mini-thoracotomy approach were identified. And smaller BSA, dialysis, AS and extended operative time were identified as correlated indices with length of ICU and postoperative hospital stay in MIAVR. Considering that 1 of the most important objectives of MIAVR is an early rehabilitation, these factors should be considered as crucial in the indications for MIAVR. Sutureless AVR has been evolving, and satisfactory results including excellent hemodynamic performance, shortened surgical time and improvement of outcome have been reported in high-risk patients or minimally invasive procedures. 15,16 Sutureless AVR is reported to be an effective option for high-risk patients and can reduce the occurrence of paravalvular leakage compared to transcatheter AVR (TAVR). 17,18 Considering the significant advantages of RTAVR, sutureless RTAVR can be an effective alternative with broad indications. Although RTAVR was initially introduced for patients without preoperative risk factors, the indications have been expanding and it can be an effective option for high-risk patients, as well as TAVR. 19,20 There were several limitations in this study. First, this was a non-randomized retrospective observational study. Second, propensity score matching was used to reduce selection bias, but the matching is limited and arbitrariness was not fully denied. The greater prevalence of AS in the RTAVR group and surgeon bias may be influential factors. Additionally, a small sample of propensity score-matched pairs remained due to preoperative significant differences in characteristics, particularly in the results of partial sternotomy. And we could not

Finally, propensity scorematched comparison between the RTAVR and PSAVR groups was not done directly because only a limited number of pairs can be matched on propensity score. Conclusions On propensity score matching to reduce selection bias, objective benefits of RTAVR including early rehabilitation and lower prevalence of blood transfusion were identified. Significant advantages of PSAVR over CAVR, however, were not found, and PSAVR was identified as a correlated factor with length of ICU stay in comparison to RTAVR. References 1.
