Background:
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) may benefit patients at high surgical risk with mitral regurgitation (MR).
Objectives:
The authors report 30-day and 1-year outcomes of transfemoral TMVR.
Methods:
The MISCEND (Edwards Eos Mitral Valve Replacement: Investigation of Safety and Performance After Mitral Valve Replacement With Transcatheter Device) study is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter evaluation of the Eos transcatheter mitral valve replacement system for clinically significant, symptomatic MR. Performance and safety endpoints included device success, procedural success, 30-day rate of MR ≤1+ and 30-day composite major adverse event rate. Additional clinical, echocardiographic, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes were assessed through 1 year.
Results:
Sixty patients (median age 79.5 years, Society of Thoracic Surgeons score 5.2%, 40% men, 43.3% with functional MR) were enrolled. Device and procedural success rates were 100.0%. The 30-day composite major adverse event rate was 43.3%, including all-cause mortality (5.0%), all-cause hospitalization (21.7%), nonelective mitral valve reintervention (1.7%), severe bleeding (28.3%), renal complication requiring unplanned dialysis or renal replacement therapy (5.0%), and major cardiac structural complication (8.3%). The rate of MR ≤1+ was 98.1% at 30 days and 100.0% at 1 year, with none/trace MR in 63.0% and 78.4% of patients, respectively. One-year outcomes showed significant improvements in 6-minute walk distance (40.5 m; 95% CI: 13.8-97.2 m; P = 0.003) and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall score (17.7 points; 95% CI: 11.2-27.3 points; P < 0.01), with 86.8% of patients in NYHA functional class I/II. Rates of mortality and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm were 20.3% and 10.0%, respectively.
Conclusions:
1-year MISCEND results demonstrate the feasibility of TMVR with the Eos system. Although safety concerns related to left ventricular pseudoaneurysm resulted in the cessation of study enrollment, learnings will inform future therapy development.
Insights
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) using the Eos system shows feasibility and improves patient function. However, left ventricular pseudoaneurysm concerns led to study cessation, guiding future device development.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) offers a potential solution for high-risk patients suffering from mitral regurgitation (MR).
- The Eos system represents a novel transcatheter device for TMVR.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the 30-day and 1-year safety and performance outcomes of the transfemoral Eos TMVR system.
- To assess clinical, echocardiographic, functional, and quality-of-life improvements in patients undergoing TMVR.
Main Methods:
- The MISCEND study prospectively evaluated the Eos TMVR system in a single-arm, multicenter setting.
- Key endpoints included device success, procedural success, MR severity, and major adverse events at 30 days.
- Long-term outcomes through 1 year included functional status and quality of life.
Main Results:
- 100% device and procedural success rates were observed in 60 patients.
- Significant improvements in 6-minute walk distance and quality of life were noted at 1 year.
- The 30-day composite major adverse event rate was 43.3%, with a 1-year mortality of 20.3% and a 10.0% rate of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
Conclusions:
- The Eos TMVR system demonstrated feasibility and functional improvement in patients with mitral regurgitation.
- Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm emerged as a safety concern, leading to study enrollment cessation.
- Learnings from this study will inform the development of future TMVR technologies.
