Population at Risk for Aortic Stenosis Is Increasing Over 40 Million People in the United States Over the Age of 65 1 AS is estimated to be prevalent in up to 7% of the population over the age of 65 2 Source: US Census Bureau 1 1.

Symptoms of Aortic Stenosis Shortness of breath Fatigue Angina Syncope/presyncope Other Atrial fibrillation Symptoms of AS are frequently attributed to normal signs of aging. Many patients appear asymptomatic, but have curtailed their activity to accommodate their abilities.
Operative Rates for Severe Aortic Stenosis Approximately half of patients with severe symptomatic AS do not undergo surgery No AVR AVR Bach DS et al.

TAVR Today - Less invasive procedure with acute hemodynamic benefit and rapid return to activity - Preferred therapy for intermediate, high, and prohibitive risk patients - Ongoing randomization for low risk (< 4%) - The heart team should reach a consensus on the preferred therapy for each individual patient.
Why Does the Mitral Valve Fail? 1) Primary Valve Disease - Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation/DMR - Mitral Prolapse Flail leaflet - SOC is surgical repair 2) Secondary Valve Disease Functional Mitral Regurgitation/FMR A function of the ventricular disease - Ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy - SOC is Medical Therapy
Surgery for Secondary MR 1. Sick patients & hearts Limited tolerance for insult Independent AEs 2. LV function may not tolerate removal of low resistance outlet 3.

Degenerative Mitral Valve Repair Quadrangular Resection & Annular Ring Repair is considered preferable over replacement for DMR. Lower risk, better hemodynamics, greater durability. Replacement may be more effective than repair for FMR. Less MR, similar hemodynamics with large annulus, less concern for durability

Transcatheter Mitral Valve
Mitral Regurgitation Conclusions Mitral Valve Disease should be cared for in high volume tertiary centers with an expert multidisciplinary team. Mitral Valve Repair is the standard of care for DMR. Mitral leaflet clipping is a safe, effective alternative for patients in whom surgery poses a significant risk. Functional Mitral Regurgitation is currently being evaluated in the COAPT Trial. Additional repair and replacement strategies are being developed for functional and degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Risk for Endocarditis Antibiotic Prophylaxis Highest risk - antibiotic prophylaxis is generally recommended Prosthetic heart valve Valve repair with prosthetic material Prior history of IE Repaired or unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease, Moderate risk - antibiotic prophylaxis is NOT generally recommended Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Mitral valve prolapse with valvular regurgitation and/or valvular thickening Unrepaired ventricular septal defect, unrepaired patent ductus arteriosus Acquired valvular dysfunction (eg, mitral or aortic regurgitation or stenosis) Low risk Antibiotics have never been recommended for people with these conditions: Physiologic, functional, or innocent heart murmurs Mitral valve prolapse without regurgitation or valvular leaflet thickening Mild tricuspid regurgitation Simple atrial septal defect Atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, or patent ductus arteriosus that was successfully closed (either surgically or with a catheter-based procedure) more than six months previously Circulation 2007 Oct 9;116(15):1736-54
