ESC Congress 2017 In Review -- Main Edition - 10

Main Session

Refer to Table 10 for aspects to be considered by the
Heart Team for the decision between SAVR and TAVI in
patients at increased surgical risk.

Table 11 summarises changes in the 2017 VHD guidelines regarding primary and secondary mitral regurgitation.

IIb C Surgery may be considered
in asymptomatic patients with preserved LV function, high likelihood of
durable repair, low surgical risk, and:
*	 Left	atrial	dilatation	(volume	index	
≥ 60 mL/m2 BSA) and sinus rhythm.

IIa C Surgery should be considered
in asymptomatic patients with
preserved LVEF (> 60%) and LVESD
40-44 mm when a durable repair is
likely, surgical risk is low, the repair
is performed in heart valve centres,
and the following finding is present:
presence of significant LA dilatation
(volume index ≥ 60 mL/m2 BSA) in
sinus rhythm.

Pulmonary hypertension on exercise
(SPAP ≥ 60 mm Hg at exercise.

Recommendation removed

Indications for intervention in symptomatic aortic stenosis

STS/EuroSCORE II < 4% (logistic EuroSCORE I < 10%)

Favourable access for transfemoral TAVI

Changes in Recommendations

IIa C Surgery should be considered
in patients with moderate secondary
mitral regurgitation undergoing CABG.

Recommendation removed

IIb C When revascularisation is not
indicated, surgery may be considered
in patients with severe secondary
mitral regurgitation and LVEF > 30%,
who remain

IIb C When revascularisation is not
indicated, surgery may be considered
in patients with severe secondary mitral regurgitation and LVEF
> 30%, who remain symptomatic
despite optimal medical management
(including CRT if indicated), and have
a low surgical risk.
IIb C When revascularisation is not
indicated and surgical risk is not low,
a percutaneous edge-to-edge
procedure may be considered in
patients with severe secondary mitral
regurgitation and LVEF > 30%, who
remain symptomatic despite optimal
medical management (including CRT
if indicated) and who have a suitable
valve morphology by
echocardiography, avoiding futility.
IIb C In patients with severe
secondary mitral regurgitation and
LVEF > 30%, who remain symptomatic
despite optimal medical management
(including CRT if indicated) and who
have no option for revascularisation,
the Heart Team may consider
percutaneous edge-to-edge procedure
or valve surgery after careful
evaluation for ventricular assist device
or heart transplant according to
individual patient characteristics.

BSA, body surface area; LA, left atrial; CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting;
CRT, cardiac resynchronisation therapy; LV, left ventricular; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVESD, left ventricular end-systolic diameter; SPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure.
