CAD does not worsen short-term survival after TAVI; leaves open whether CAD-specific strategies improve longer-term outcomes.
Does the presence of coronary artery disease impact survival and functional outcomes in high-risk patients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI?
In high-risk patients referred for TAVI, the presence of CAD is frequent but does not preclude satisfactory outcomes or significantly impact survival at 1 year.
