BACKGROUND: Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is an X-linked inherited lysosomal disease caused by a defect in the gene encoding lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A (GLA). Atrio-ventricular (AV) nodal conduction defects and sinus node dysfunction are common complications of the disease. It is not fully elucidated how frequently AFD is responsible for acquired AV block or sinus node dysfunction and if some AFD patients could manifest primarily with spontaneous bradycardia in general population. The purpose of study was to evaluate the prevalence of AFD in male patients with implanted permanent pacemaker (PM). METHODS: The prospective multicentric screening in consecutive male patients between 35 and 65 years with implanted PM for acquired third- or second- degree type 2 AV block or symptomatic second- degree type 1 AV block or sinus node dysfunction was performed. RESULTS: A total of 484 patients (mean age 54 ± 12 years at time of PM implantation) were enrolled to the screening in 12 local sites in Czech Republic. Out of all patients, negative result was found in 481 (99%) subjects. In 3 cases, a GLA variant was found, classified as benign: p.Asp313Tyr, p.D313Y). Pathogenic GLA variants (classical or non-classical form) or variants of unclear significance were not detected. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of pathogenic variants causing AFD in a general population sample with implanted permanent PM for AV conduction defects or sinus node dysfunction seems to be low. Our findings do not advocate a routine screening for AFD in all adult males with clinically significant bradycardia.

Best practices for transcatheter aortic valve implantation with CoreValve include patient screening and valve size selection using multislice computed tomography, adherence to manufacturer recommendations for oversizing, control of implant depth to 6 mm or less, and management of conduction disturbances according to international guidelines. The ADVANCE II study implemented these strategies and demonstrated their relation to clinical outcomes. From October 2011 to April 2013, 200 patients with severe aortic stenosis were enrolled, and 194 were implanted. All imaging and electrocardiographic data were analyzed by an independent core laboratory, and adverse events were adjudicated to valve academic research consortium-2 definitions. The mean age was 80.2 ± 6.7 years and the mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality was 7.2 ± 6.8% for the enrolled patients. At 6 months, all-cause mortality was 9.2%, stroke was 2.6%, and permanent pacemaker implantation was 19.2% for class I and II indications. In patients with implant depth ≤6 mm, both mortality and permanent pacemaker implantation were lower than in patients with depth >6 mm (2.5% vs 14.5%, p <0.01 and 18.1% vs 31.7%, p = 0.03, respectively). The rate of moderate and severe paravalvular leak was 9.8% at 7 days after transcatheter aortic valve implantation, decreasing to 4.3% at 6 months (p = 0.02). Valves were significantly more oversized in patients with mild or less paravalvular leak at day 7 compared with those with moderate or severe (15.8 ± 8.0% vs 11.8 ± 4.9%, p = 0.01). In conclusion, findings from the ADVANCE II study reinforce that adherence to best clinical practices improves patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the CoreValve prospective, international, post-market ADVANCE-II study was to define the rates of conduction disturbances and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the Medtronic CoreValve System (Minneapolis, Minnesota) using optimized implantation techniques and application of international guidelines on cardiac pacing. BACKGROUND: Conduction disturbances are a frequent complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The rates of PPI in the published reports vary according to bioprosthesis type and the indications for PPI. METHODS: The primary endpoint was the 30-day incidence of PPI with Class I/II indications when the Medtronic CoreValve System was implanted at an optimal depth (≤6 mm below the aortic annulus). The timing and resolution of all new-onset conduction disturbances were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 194 patients were treated. The overall rate of PPI for Class I/II indications was 18.2%. An optimal depth was reached in 43.2% of patients, with a nonsignificantly lower incidence of PPI in patients with depths ≤6 mm, compared with those with deeper implants (13.3% vs. 21.1%; p = 0.14). In a paired analysis, new-onset left bundle branch block and first-degree atrioventricular block occurred in 45.4% and 39.0% of patients, respectively, and resolved spontaneously within 30 days in 43.2% and 73.9%, respectively. In patients with new PPI, the rate of intrinsic sinus rhythm increased from 25.9% at 7 days to 59.3% at 30 days (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Optimal Medtronic CoreValve System deployment and adherence to international guidelines on cardiac pacing are associated with a lower rate of new PPI after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, compared with results reported in previous studies.
