  3. Background • Surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) is the standard of care for treating patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis who are candidates for operation. • Although transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) reduces mortality in patients who cannot have AVR, there have been no randomized trials comparing TAVR to AVR in patients who are at high-risk for operation.

  4. Purpose To compare the safety and effectiveness of TAVR (either transfemoral or transapical) to surgical AVR in high-risk, operable patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis.

  5. PARTNER Study Design Symptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis ASSESSMENT: High-Risk AVR Candidate 3,105 Total Patients Screened Total = 1,057 patients High Risk Inoperable N = 358 N = 699 2 Parallel Trials: Individually Powered ASSESSMENT: Transfemoral Access Yes No 1:1 Randomization Not In Study N = 179 N = 179 Standard Therapy TF TAVR VS Primary Endpoint: All-Cause Mortality Over Length of Trial (Superiority) Co-Primary Endpoint: Composite of All-Cause Mortalityand Repeat Hospitalization (Superiority)

  6. Inoperable PARTNER CohortPrimary Endpoint: All-Cause Mortality • HR [95% CI] =0.54 [0.38, 0.78] • P (log rank) < 0.0001 Standard Rx TAVI • ∆ at 1 yr = 20.0%NNT = 5.0 pts 50.7% All-cause mortality (%) 30.7% Months Leon et al, NEJM 2010; 363:1597-1607

  8. Primary Endpoint All-cause mortality at one year • Analysis by intent-to-treat • Event rates by Kaplan-Meier estimates • Crossovers permitted only when assignedtherapy unsuccessful • All patients followed for ≥ one year

  9. Other Important Endpoints (1) Safety: • Neurologic events • Prospective: Stroke and stroke plus TIA (all neuro events) • Retrospective: Major stroke (modified Rankin Score ≥ 2 @ ≥ 30 days) • Major vascular complications (VARC definition) • Major bleeding (modified VARC definition) • Repeat hospitalization • New pacemakers and new-onset atrial fibrillation (ECG core lab) • Procedural events (assigned therapy aborted or converted to AVR, multiple valves, etc.) • Surgical complications (re-op for bleeding, sternal infection, etc.)

  10. Other Important Endpoints (2) Clinical Effectiveness and Valve Performance: • NYHA symptoms • Six-minute walk tests • Quality-of-life measures and cost-effectiveness (core lab) • Echocardiography assessment of valve performance (core lab) • Peak and mean gradients • Effective orifice area • Bioprosthetic valve regurgitation (esp. para-valvular) • Other: LV ejection fraction, MR, LV mass, evidence of structural valve deterioration

  48. Study Limitations • 8% of the control (AVR) group withdrew or refused assignedtherapy • 5% of patients randomized to TAVR did not receiveassigned therapy (procedure aborted or converted to AVR) • Significantly longer interval between randomization andtreatment in controls (AVR) • An early version large TAVR delivery system was used • Most sites had no previous TAVR experience - learningcurve impact inherent in TAVR, but not in AVR • Insufficient statistical power to compare TA to either AVRor TF • Long-term follow-up not available to assess TAVR durability

  49. Conclusions (1) • The primary endpoint of the trial was met: • In patients with aortic stenosis at high risk for operation, TAVR was non-inferior to AVR for all-cause mortality at 1 year (24.2% vs. 26.8%, p=0.001 for non inferiority) • Transfemoral TAVR subgroup was also non-inferior toAVR (p=0.002 for non-inferiority) • Death at 30 days was lower than expected in botharms of the trial: • TAVR mortality (3.4%) was the lowest reported in any series, despite an early generation device and limited previous operator experience • AVR mortality (6.5%) was lower than the expected operative mortality (11.8%)

  50. Conclusions (2) • Both TAVR and AVR were associated with important but different peri-procedural hazards: • Major strokes at 30 days (3.8 vs. 2.1%, p=0.20) and one year (5.1% vs. 2.4%, p=0.07) and major vascular complications were more frequent with TAVR (11.0% vs. 3.2%, p<0.001) • Major bleeding (9.3% vs. 19.5%, p<0.001) and new onset atrial fibrillation (8.6% vs. 16.0%, p<0.001) were more frequent with AVR • TAVR and AVR are both acceptable therapies in these high-risk patients; differing peri-procedural hazards should influence case-based decision-making
