Sleep-disordered breathing in patients undergoing transfemoral aortic valve implantation for severe aortic stenosis

Background We examined the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) and the impact of transfemoral aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on SDB. Methods 79 patients underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy (PG) before TAVI (CoreValve™), 62 of them a...

Description
Summary:Background We examined the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) and the impact of transfemoral aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on SDB. Methods 79 patients underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy (PG) before TAVI (CoreValve™), 62 of them a second PG after the procedure. Results Forty-nine (62 %) patients had obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 25 (32 %) central sleep apnea (CSA), and 5 (6 %) presented without significant SDB (apnea–hypopnea index (AHI)
