Management strategies for severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) and aortic stenosis (AS) frequently coexist. The advent of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and its increased use over the last decade has brought a paradigm shift in the management of patients with severe AS who are considered inoperable or high risk for sAVR. The most appropriate management of coexistent CAD in patients undergoing TAVI is yet to be defined. In this article, we present a review of the issues arising in the management of CAD in patients with severe AS-with particular reference to those who are undergoing TAVI.
