Implication
Supports feasibility in high-risk patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before clinical adoption.
Structured PICO
Is it feasible to perform combined PCI and PAVI with TandemHeart support in high-risk elderly patients with complex CAD and severe aortic stenosis?
P
Population
3 elderly patients with complex coronary artery disease and severe aortic stenosis considered too high risk for conventional surgical therapy
I
Intervention
Combination of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and percutaneous aortic valve implantation (PAVI) with peripheral left ventricular assist device (TandemHeart) support
O
Outcome
Feasibility of the combined procedure
Combined PCI and PAVI with TandemHeart support is feasible in elderly patients with complex CAD and severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk.
