Percutaneous coronary artery intervention after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Abstract

Transcatheter implantation of the aortic valve is an increasingly used method for the treatment of aortic stenosis, with a steady trend worldwide to increase the number of TAVI procedures and reduce the age of patients. In Europe, over 180,000 TAVI procedures are currently implemented annually. This review aims to evaluate the patient’s prognosis for the different approaches, the technical diffi culties during the procedure, and to offer useful tips for overcoming them. We publish our experience in transcatheter treatment of ischemic heart disease after TAVI implantation.
