ABSTRACT
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) is now frequently performed in patients with adult congenital heart disease. As the life expectancy of the population with adult congenital heart disease continues to improve, more patients will require pulmonary valve intervention. This study details the short-term and midterm clinical outcomes of patients aged ≥40 years who underwent TPVR. We performed an institutional retrospective cohort study that included patients aged ≥40 years who underwent TPVR (and clinical follow-up) from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2024. Descriptive analyses, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and Cox proportional hazard modeling were used to determine outcomes and risk factors affecting survival. The study included 67 patients, and median age at TPVR was 48 years (43 to 57). Median hospital length of stay after TPVR was 1 day (1 to 3); periprocedural complications occurred in 5 patients, and acute kidney injury occurred in 1 patient. Median duration of follow-up was 3.5 years (0.1 to 9.7). There were 9 total deaths, and 1-, 3-, and 5-year Kaplan-Meier survival after TPVR was 95%, 91%, and 82%, respectively. Moderate or worse right ventricular dysfunction was present in 22 patients before TPVR and in 20 patients after TPVR. Inpatient status before TPVR negatively affected survival (hazard ratio 24.7, 3.3 to 186.1, p = 0.002). In conclusion, TPVR was performed in patients aged ≥40 years with favorable periprocedural and midterm follow-up outcomes including survival, but right ventricular dysfunction did not improve, and further exploration of the ideal timing of TPVR in this age group is warranted.
