Résumé
Optimal antithrombotic therapy in patients who underwent surgical biological aortic valve replacement (AVR) represents an issue of ongoing discussion. Additionally, the prognostic impact of anti-thrombotic treatment strategies after biological AVR and real-life data on anticoagulation strategies (AC) of patients presenting with short-term postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) has not clearly been investigated so far. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of therapeutic AC after biological AVR on patient outcome and whether the presence of POAF affects decision making on anti-thrombotic management. Within this prospective observational study, 200 individuals that underwent biological AVR surgery were enrolled. Participants were followed prospectively until the primary study endpoint was reached. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to elucidate the effect of therapeutic AC on outcome. Overall, 106 individuals received therapeutic AC at the time of discharge. The fraction of patients presenting with POAF was balanced between individuals receiving AC and the non-AC subgroup (p = 0.617). After a median follow-up time of 1418 days, 31 (15.5%) individuals died, referring to 15 (13.9%) POAF-free patients and 16 (17.4%) with POAF. We observed a strong inverse association of therapeutic AC and cardiovascular mortality, which remained stable after adjustment for potential confounders showing a HR of 0.437 (95% CI 0.202-0.943; p = 0.035), while bleeding risk was comparable (p = 0.680). Within this investigation, therapeutic AC showed a strong and independent inverse association with long-term mortality in patients that underwent biological AVR. Although POAF is associated with thromboembolic adverse events, the development of this arrhythmia did not affect decision-making of the anti-thrombotic management.
