Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Hemodynamics: Definitions, Outcomes, and Evidence Gaps: JACC State-of-the-Art Review (JACC August 2022-1) is organized by American College of Cardiology (ACC).,Date of Release: July 25, 2022,Term of Approval/Date of CME/MOC/ECME Expiration: July 24, 2023,Description:,A virtual workshop was organized by the Heart Valve Collaboratory to identify areas of expert consensus, areas of disagreement, and evidence gaps related to bioprosthetic aortic valve hemodynamics. Impaired functional performance of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement is associated with adverse patient outcomes; however, this assessment is complicated by the lack of standardization for labeling, definitions, and measurement techniques, both after surgical and transcatheter valve replacement. Echocardiography remains the standard assessment methodology because of its ease of performance, widespread availability, ability to do serial measurements over time, and correlation with outcomes. Management of a high gradient after replacement requires integration of the patient’s clinical status, physical examination, and multimodality imaging in addition to shared patient decisions regarding treatment options. Future priorities underway include efforts to standardize prosthesis sizing and labeling for both surgical and transcatheter valves as well as trials to characterize the consequences of adverse hemodynamics.,Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
