【 摘 要 】

BACKGROUND: The NOTION trial (Nordic Aortic Valve Intervention) was designed to compare transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients = 70 years old with isolated severe aortic valve stenosis. Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes are presented after 5 years. METHODS: Patients were enrolled at 3 Nordic centers and randomized 1: 1 to TAVR using the self-expanding CoreValve prosthesis (n= 145) or SAVR using any stented bioprostheses (n= 135). The primary composite outcome was the rate of all-cause mortality, stroke, or myocardial infarction at 1 year defined according to Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were similar. The mean age was 79.1 +/- 4.8 years and mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality score was 3.0%+/- 1.7%. After 5 years, there were no differences between TAVR and SAVR in the composite outcome (KaplanMeier estimates 38.0% versus 36.3%, log-rank test P= 0.86) or any of its components. TAVR patients had larger prosthetic valve area (1.7 cm(2) versus 1.2 cm(2), P<0.001) with a lower mean transprosthetic gradient (8.2 mm Hg versus 13.7 mm Hg, P<0.001), both unchanged over time. More TAVR patients had moderate/ severe total aortic regurgitation (8.2% versus 0.0%, P<0.001) and a new pacemaker (43.7% versus 8.7%, P<0.001). Four patients had prosthetic reintervention and no difference was found for functional outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: These are currently the longest follow-up data comparing TAVR and SAVR in lower risk patients, demonstrating no statistical difference for major clinical outcomes 5 years after TAVR with a self-expanding prosthesis compared to SAVR. Higher rates of prosthetic regurgitation and pacemaker implantation were seen after TAVR. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: URL: https:// www. clinicaltrials. gov. Unique identifier: NCT01057173.
