About
Patients with aortic stenosis present many risk factors for endothelial dysfunction (arterial hypertension, arteriosclerosis, dyslipidemia, chronic renal insufficiency, etc.). It is likely that a significant number of patients suffer from pre-existing endothelial dysfunction that can be evaluated by a molecular approach.
To date, the replacement of the aortic valve can be performed by surgery with extracorporeal circulation (CEC) or percutaneous (Transcatheter Aortic Valve ImplantationTAVI) without CEC.
Two recent studies have demonstrated a sustained improvement in endothelial function with TAVI. On the contrary, studies have demonstrated that post-operative complications (coagulopathy, capillary leak syndrome, acute vasoplastic disorder and acute renal failure) after surgery with extracorporeal circulation (CEC) could be the result of the interaction between pre-existing endothelial dysfunction And the "operative" aggression associated with the CEC.
Thus, patients with preexisting involvement of endothelial function would develop vascular dysfunction after valvular replacement due to "endothelial activation" related to CEC. This phenomenon would not exist in TAVI, and would explain the absence of so-called vascular dysfunction complications (Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, vasoplastic syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation).
