MICHIGAN TAVR BRIEF OVERVIEW HOW AND WHY PRE-TAVR IMAGING EVALUATION AND THE TVT Michael Grossman, MD Co-Director, BMC2 Coordinating Center
Why Michigan TAVR? TAVR is a truly novel technology TAVR requires technical expertise TAVR requires multidisciplinary collaboration TAVR is expensive TAVR patients have numerous co-morbidities TAVR is high-profile TAVR technology is rapidly advancing TAVR indications are rapidly expanding TAVR registry participation is required for reimbursement TAVR registry definitions are challenging TAVR registry data in TVT is less than optimal 3
Why Michigan TAVR? In Michigan, a unique partnership has developed between physicians, their hospitals, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Regional collaboratives Focused on quality improvement Target clinical conditions that are common and associated with high cost Coronary intervention Cardiac surgery General surgery Peripheral vascular intervention Vascular surgery Share DA, et al. Health Aff (Millwood). 2011 Apr;30(4):636-45. 4
Michigan TAVR A partnership between MSTCVS and BMC2 Reflects the collaboration between cardiac surgery and cardiology Capitalize on the strength and experience of two of the most successful regional CQIs in the nation Collect accurate and complete data Ensure understanding of definitions Uniform collection across collaborative Organize and analyze Report in useable format Develop Quality Improvement goals/ best practices Serve as a platform for collaboration, education and exploration 5
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Overview TAVR has emerged as an alternative to surgical AVR Severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis Patients with life expectancy > 12 months Prohibitive risk for surgical AVR High risk for surgical AVR Requires a Heart Team assessment 6
Severe, Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis High gradient AS Vmax >4 m/s or Mean Δ >40 mmhg or AVA 1 sq cm 2 AVA index 0.6 cm 2 /m 2 Low gradient, LV dysfunction Reduced EF, dobutamine study showing: Vmax >4 m/s or Mean Δ >40 mmhg or AVA 1 cm 2 Low gradient, normal LV function Normal EF if clinical, hemodynamic and anatomic data 7
Symptoms: Demarcation in Course of Disease Onset of dyspnea and other heart failure symptoms foretell the worst outlook for aortic stenosis patients 1 Ross J, Braunwald E. Circulation 1968; 38: 61-67. 1 Carabello BA, Paulus WJ. Lancet 2009; 373: 956-66. 8
Intervention for Severe AS Indications for TAVR vs surgical AVR: New 2014 Evaluation by a Heart Team Surgical AVR for patients at low or intermediate risk TAVR for patients with prohibitive surgical risk and life expectancy >12 months TAVR alternative for patients at high surgical risk class I class I class I class IIa 9

How Do We Determine Surgical Risk? STS Calculator www.sts.org Mortality Morbidity 24 patient variables 50 total risk factors EuroSCORE www.euroscore.org/ca lc.html Mortality 17 patient variables Subjects at or above the 90th percentile of risk (8.38% for STS, 33.47% for logistic Euro) score are considered high risk for aortic valve replacement with average survival only two to three years 15
STS Risk Calculator Developed using data from STS National Adult Cardiac Surgery Database Voluntary Database Risk models updated in January 2008 using data from January 2002 to December 2006 (>109,000 patients in valve model and >101,000 in CABG/Valve model) Separate models for valve surgery and CABG/valve surgery 16
Characteristics Not Included in the STS or Other Risk Assessment Systems (Incremental Risk) Highly compromised respiratory disease Severe immunosuppressive diseases True porcelain aorta Chest wall radiation or deformity Multiple previous interventions in the presence of advanced multi-system dysfunction Liver disease Frailty LV diastolic dysfunction Pulmonary hypertension 17
Evaluation of the Patient with Aortic Stenosis Patient history and demographics Medical records Medical history Surgical history Prior imaging Echocardiogram ECG Cardiac catheterization 18

Frailty Assessment Per TVT Five meter walk Gait speed directly correlates with cardiac surgical outcome (> 6 seconds increased risk) Gait speed also correlated with remaining life years in the community Each 0.1-meter/second increment in walking speed was associated with a 12% increase in survival Walking speed of 0.8 meters/second was associated with the median life expectancy for persons in that age category. Walking speed of 0.6 meters/second would be a reasonable threshold for increased risk of early mortality A speed faster than 1.0 meters/second suggests better than average life expectancy A gait speed above 1.2 meters/second suggests exceptional life expectancy 23
Definition STS Risk Score Per TVT Indicate the patient's predicted risk of mortality for surgical aortic valve replacement as determined by the Heart Team and based on the Society for Thoracic Surgeon's risk model Includes incremental risk Per TVT FAQ Enter only the STS mortality score for aortic valve replacement 24
Functional Assessment and Quality of Life Six Minute Walk Test* Per TVT Indicate the total distance, in feet, the patient walked A performance-based measure of functional exercise capacity Scoring Predicted six-minute walk distance in healthy elderly = 631 ± 93 meters Predictive equation: 6MWDpred= 218 + (5.14 x heightcm 5.32 x age) 1.80 x weightkg + 51.31 x gender Note: Gender is factored into the equation by male = 1, female = 0. The change in the distance walked used to evaluate an intervention or to trace the natural history of change in exercise capacity over time The minimum clinically important difference (i.e., improvement) in the distance walked is estimated as 54 meters (with 95% confidence limits of 37 to 71 meters) KCCQ-12 Patient Questionnaire Validated QoL measure 8 questions 25
