Key result
Coronary artery cannulation after TAVI can be challenging or impossible due to conditions related to aortic root anatomy and specific transcatheter aortic valve designs and deployment.
Why the study?
As TAVI expands to younger patients with longer life expectancy, future coronary interventions become more likely, but few studies have investigated the feasibility and reproducibility of coronary artery cannulation after TAVI.
What conditions make coronary artery cannulation challenging after transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
What conditions make coronary artery cannulation challenging after transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
As TAVI expands to younger patients, understanding the anatomical and device-related factors that complicate future coronary access is critical for long-term management.

Requires pre-TAVI coronary access planning in younger patients; leaves open optimal valve selection and cannulation strategies.
A 2021 study conducted a review in Severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis. Coronary artery cannulation after TAVI was evaluated. Coronary artery cannulation after TAVI can be challenging or impossible due to conditions related to aortic root anatomy and specific transcatheter aortic valve designs and deployment.
