Comparing TAVR + PCI vs. SAVR + CABG across short- and mid- to long-term horizons in patients with severe aortic stenosis and concomitant CAD: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Key Points

• TAVR combined with PCI shows better short-term outcomes compared to SAVR with CABG, especially in reducing mortality rates.
• Meta-analysis reveals that 45% of patients undergoing TAVR plus PCI experience fewer complications within the first year.
• Comparative assessment focuses on performance disparities in both short and long-term outcomes between the procedures.
• Findings support the consideration of TAVR plus PCI as a favorable option for patients with severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease.
