Key result
Previous coronary artery bypass grafting in patients undergoing TAVI was associated with a higher rate of transapical valve implantation (43% vs 26%), an independent predictor of 2-year mortality.
Why the study?
Is TAVI a safe and effective option in high-risk patients with aortic stenosis and previous CABG compared to those without previous CABG?
Population
201 high-risk patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Comparison
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) vs Patients without previous CABG

This editorial highlights that while TAVI is feasible in patients with prior CABG, careful attention must be paid to minimizing paravalvular leakage and managing concomitant coronary artery disease.

Thorsten Drews (2011) conducted a letter in Aortic stenosis (n=201). Previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. No previous CABG was evaluated. Previous coronary artery bypass grafting in patients undergoing TAVI was associated with a higher rate of transapical valve implantation (43% vs 26%), an independent predictor of 2-year mortality.
