Single-Centre Case Series Assessment of Early Exercise Capacity Data Among Patients Who Received an Alterra Prestent and SAPIEN 3 Valve Placement

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Previous studies have used cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) data to objectively assess physiological changes in patients undergoing percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation. A retrospective review was performed to assess pre- and post-CPET data among patients undergoing Alterra Adaptive Prestent and SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve (Alterra) placement. Of the 7 patients eligible for the study, 5 (71%) were male. The mean age was 22 years (range: 12-49 years). CPET data showed significant ( P = 0.03) improvement in ventilatory efficiency (V E /V CO2 ) while only 2 (29%) patients had an improvement of percent predicted peak oxygen consumption (V O2 ). These findings suggest favourable haemodynamic changes though further investigation is needed.
