AIMS: Myocardial injury occurs frequently following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aim of this study was to assess timing, predictors, and prognostic value of periprocedural myocardial injury and chronic troponin elevation after TAVI. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy-six patients (logistic EuroSCORE 26.6±17.1%) underwent transvascular TAVI. Troponin, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP levels were measured before and after TAVI (1 hr, 4 hrs, 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 72 hrs, seven days, three, and six months). Myocardial injury (according to VARC-2 recommendation defined as ΔTroponin ≥15x URL) occurred in 143/276 patients (51.8%) during the first 72 hours following TAVI. Use of a self-expanding prosthesis (p=0.02), coronary artery disease (p=0.04), higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p<0.001), and procedure time (p<0.001) were independent predictors for the development of myocardial injury after TAVI. Thirty-day (4.2% vs. 6.1%; p=0.48) and one-year mortality (19.4% vs. 26.5%; p=0.15) were not related to the incidence of periprocedural myocardial injury. However, patients with chronic troponin elevation after TAVI had an increased one-year mortality risk (HR 4.5, 95% CI: 2.0-10.0; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Myocardial injury defined as ΔTroponin ≥15x URL after TAVI seems to be a procedure-related issue without impact on 30-day and one-year survival. However, monitoring of post-procedural troponin might be useful for prognostication after TAVI.
