Zusammenfassung: | Aortic stenosis is a frequent disease in the elderly. Its prevalence is 0.4% with a sharp increase after the age of 65, and its outcome is very poor when the patient becomes symptomatic. The interventional procedure known as TAVI (trans-catheter aortic valve implantation), which was developed in France and carried out for the first time in Rouen by Prof. Alain Cribier and his team in 2002, has proven to be a valid alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement. At first, this technique was shown to be efficient in patients with contra-indications to surgical treatment or deemed to be at high surgical risk. Given the very promising outcomes achieved as a result of close heart team collaboration, appropriate patient selection, simplified procedures and reduced complication rates, transfemoral (TF) TAVI is now preferred in symptomatic intermediate risk patients>75 years old according to the latest ESC guidelines. In 2017, in France, TAVI is currently performed in 50 centers with on-site cardiac surgery. The 2016 TAVI outcomes recorded in the French national TAVI registry (France TAVI) are very encouraging and show that for 7133 patients treated (age 83.4±7 years, logistic Euroscore 14%), 87% of whom via the TF approach, cross-over to surgery was very low (0.5%) with a 3.0% in-hospital mortality rate. The substantial increase in TAVI indications and the improvement of its outcomes may in the near future call for a reconsideration of the number of high volume centers authorized to carry out this technique.
Le rétrécissement aortique est une pathologie fréquente chez le sujet âgé. La prévalence de cette pathologie dans la population générale est de 0,4 % et son pronostic est sombre dès que le patient devient symptomatique. La procédure de mise en place d’une valve aortique par voie percutanée (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: TAVI) s’est très rapidement développée après le premier cas réalisé à Rouen par le Pr Cribier et son équipe en 2002, comme une alternative efficace à la chirurgie de remplacement valvulaire aortique. Dans un premier temps, cette technique a démontré son efficacité, pour les patients contre-indiqués pour la chirurgie et à haut risque chirurgical. Du fait de résultats très encourageants, liés à un travail en heart team, une sélection efficace des patients, des procédures simplifiées avec de moins en moins de complications, les indications du TAVI se sont progressivement étendues aux patients âgés de plus de 75 ans à risque intermédi |
