Complex PCI in Patients Requiring Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Key Points

• To assess the impact of complex PCI in patients requiring transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
• Randomized trial design
• Population consisted of patients scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve replacement
• Evaluated intervention outcomes comparing PCI techniques
• Improved procedural success rates in the PCI group with 85% success (HR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.8, p=0.01)
• Lower complication rates were observed with PCI, 5% versus 15% in controls (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.7, p=0.02)
