Insights
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) show similar short-term outcomes whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed concomitantly or staged. This systematic review compared these approaches for TAVR patients with CAD.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Cardiovascular Surgery
Background:
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly used for severe aortic valve stenosis.
- Significant coronary artery disease (CAD) affects 40-75% of TAVR patients.
- Optimal timing for treating concomitant CAD during TAVR remains debated.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare short-term outcomes of concomitant percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and TAVR versus staged PCI and TAVR.
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of different revascularization strategies in TAVR patients with CAD.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of observational studies comparing concomitant PCI-TAVR with staged PCI-TAVR.
- Search of the OVID database for relevant studies.
- Random effects model used to calculate pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals.
Main Results:
- Analysis included 4 studies with 209 patients.
- No significant differences in 30-day mortality (OR: 1.47; P=.51).
- Similar rates of renal failure (OR: 3.22; P=.17), myocardial infarction (OR: 1.44; P=.77), major bleeding (OR: 0.45; P=.27), and stroke (OR: 3.41; P=.44).
Conclusions:
- Current data do not demonstrate significant short-term outcome differences between concomitant and staged PCI in TAVR patients.
- Further research may be needed to clarify optimal treatment strategies for TAVR patients with CAD.
Background:
TAVR is a rapidly spreading treatment option for severe aortic valve stenosis. Significant coronary artery disease (CAD) is present in 40% to 75% of patients undergoing TAVR. However, when to treat the concomitant coronary artery lesions is controversial.
Methods:
This is a systematic review comparing concomitant PCI and TAVR versus staged PCI and TAVR. The OVID database was systematically searched for studies reporting PCI in patients undergoing TAVR. A random effects model was used to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals.
Results:
Four observational studies and a total of 209 patients were included in this analysis. Overall 30-day mortality was similar between concomitant PCI and TAVR versus staged PCI and TAVR [OR: 1.47 (0.47-4.62); P = .51], renal failure was not significantly different between both groups [OR: 3.22 (0.61-17.12); P = .17], periprocedural myocardial infarction was not different between the 2 groups [OR: 1.44 (0.12-16.94); P = .77], life-threatening bleeding did not differ between both groups [OR: 0.45 (0.11-1.87); P = .27], and major stroke also was not significantly different [OR: 3.41 (0.16-74.2); P = .44].
Conclusion:
These data did not show a significant difference in short-term outcomes between concomitant PCI and TAVR versus staged PCI and TAVR.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
