TAVR Surgical Bailout Rates Declining, But Still Linked To High Risk Of Death September 20, 2019 Martha Garcia Add Your Comments Despite reduced need for “surgical bailout” during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in recent years, patients still face higher death rates from procedures, according to the findings of a new study. More than one out of every hundred TAVR procedures requires the surgical team to convert to open heart surgery after experiencing unexpected complications. However, a study published in the September issue of the journal JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions indicates that number is an improvement over previous years. Researchers from University of Florida College of Medicine Jacksonville used data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology TVT (Transcatheter Valve Therapy) Registry. They focused on the need for surgical bailout during TAVR procedure and evaluated one-year death rates and adverse events between November 2011 and September 2015.

Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION TAVR is a type of heart procedure that allows the surgeon to replace the heart valve by threading it through an artery in the leg instead of via open chest surgery. It places the valve over the damaged aortic valve in a less invasive procedure. Initially, TAVR was approved only in high risk patients who were frail or couldn’t undergo open heart surgery because the procedure carried such high risks. More so, the durability of the heart valves was untested for use in younger patients who would outlive the devices that were designed to last 10 years, not 30 or more years. Surgical bailout occurs when a surgeon begins the TAVR procedure, and due to some type of complication must stop the TAVR procedure and convert to open heart surgery, which is much more invasive and often involves greater risk. TAVR surgical bailout is often needed because of valve displacement, ventricular rupture, and aortic valve annular rupture, which are all issues that carry high risks of death. These side effects occurred more often in women, nonelective cases, and when leg artery access wasn’t available. Bailout’s Decrease, But Still Deadly In the new study, nearly 48,000 patients underwent TAVR during the study period and surgical bailout was necessary in 1.2% of the cases, or nearly 560 cases. The research indicated the need for surgical bailout decreased over time to 1.04% from 1.25%, after briefly peaking at 1.43%. However, despite the decrease in the overall need for surgical bailout, the risks associated with surgical bailout were still high, the researchers reported. The 30-day death rates and one-year death rates for TAVR procedures were much higher among patients that underwent surgical bailout. The 30-day bailout fatality rate increased from 55% to 64% indicating nearly two-thirds of patients died by the 30 day mark. The one-year death rate also increased from 7% to more than 20%. All cause death rates increased as well. “In a large, nationally representative registry, the need for surgical bailout in patients undergoing TAVR is low, and its incidence has decreased over time,” the researchers wrote. “However, surgical bailout after TAVR is associated with poor outcomes, including 50% mortality at 30 days.” A recent study indicated many TAVR complications could be avoided if imaging techniques, like multidetector computed topography (MDCT) were utilized. That study also found using an experienced surgeon and focusing on real-time ultrasound guidance could help prevent complications. Other side effects of TAVR include the failure of a closure device, device embolization, coronary occlusion, and higher risk of stroke, putting many more patients at risk.

He was asymptomatic and walked 3 miles a day, lifted weights regularly and was caretaker for his disabled wife. Yet, he had severe aortic stenosis based on tests and thought he was being proactive by following Dr advice and getting the TAVR. During the procedure I was told they tried to place the valve 4 times but it kept popping back out. The Dr’s did not have an explanation why and said they had never seen this happen. They ended up having to do open heart surgery to get the misplaced valve out and place a new valve. They also repaired a tear in his aorta that had been caused during the failed TAVR. He is now 3 months out and it has been a long road physically and financially as he had to cover care for his wife during this unplanned long hospitalization and recovery. He was recently rehospitalized for 5 days due to large amount of fluid accumulation in his lungs which Dr said is due to heart failure. This was very upsetting after he just went through all of this. Steven July 22, 2023 My 87 year old mom had the TAVR 6/29 Got punctured Required open heart Still in ICU 3 weeks later They also tore her esophagus while saving her Has pneumonia ( gram Neg bacterial infection) Needs a trach Tube fed only To weak to do PT Horrible. Christine June 8, 2022 I had a TAVR two years ago and I would not recommend it to anyone under 90. I am an active 50 year-old and the TAVR cannot support my life. My ability to lead my life is worse after the TAVR than it was before. I also had a TIA after the procedure. I don’t think the TAVR should be recommended for anyone that lets an active life or is less than 90 years old. Sherry August 4, 2021 My husband suffered a heart attack in April. He survived and had two stents placed. He recovered at home and was feeling much better when he underwent a TAVR procedure. It was not successful and my husband became an invalid in a matter of hours. He required oxygen from that point and couldn’t walk more than 15” without his heart rate spiking. He spent the next month coughing and urinating blood becoming more frail by the day waiting for an extremely risky procedure to place the valve through his carotid artery. He died two days the procedure was to take place. No one ever told us that this was a possible outcome. He would have been better off waiting for the heart attack that his severe aortic stenosis would have eventually caused CATHY May 4, 2021 I am getting ready to have the TAVR aortic valve replacement next week vs open heart. After reading this I am scared to death. I also have an aneurysm in the heart. What do you think? Lesa January 24, 2021 My mom kissed passed away 1/21/21 due to this procedure, apparently the valve was place but they damaged her femoral artery and said it shattered and she bled out. I’m so angry and lost! Leisa December 20, 2020 Gina, I would like to connect with you I another forum so we could talk. Sorry it to ok me so long to see your comment. I’m so sorry got your loss . Wish we could talk. Gina April 3, 2020 I feel the same Leisa. My mom had the TAVR procedure done in October 2018, which ended up with her death. The actual surgery went well; however, when she returned to her room, her arm started hurting. They said they thought she had a blood clot and carried her back to the OR. The doctor came out and told me everything was fine and that she should be back in her room anytime. When she returned to her room, I noticed that she was still asleep, which I thought was from the sedation. I went over to touch her and talk to her and her arm as as stiff as a rail. I called the nurse in and asked her what could be wrong with my mother’s arm. The nurse asked me if they had done a post op on her. How was I supposed to know. They should have done that in the recovery room. Anyway, the nurse looked into her eyes with a light and then asked me if my mom had had eye surgery recently, it was right then that I knew my mom had had a stroke and the medical staff was not even aware of it. The nurse called the Stroke Team, in turn they carried her back out of her room for a CT scan, when they returned they reported she not only suffered a stroke, but also an aortic aneurysm, which would have been caught if they had performed open heart surgery. My mom had requested open heart surgery, but the doctor said he did not think she would make it through that. Well, she didn’t make it anyway. I am so angry for the doctor not complying with her wishes. Leisa December 18, 2019 I wish I would have never encouraged my mom to got the TAVR procedure. It killed her when the doctor pierced her heart. The risk of death was never explained to the patients family. Open heart surgery would have been a better choice.
