Mid-term prognostic value of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation: A meta-analysis of adjusted observational results

Effect of Gender After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Meta-Analysis

“…A lower rate of comorbidities in female patients was confirmed in the present meta-analysis, as demonstrated by their higher ejection fraction and reduced incidence of stroke and coronary artery disease, although the latter has still an undetermined effect on prognosis after TAVI [40]. The higher incidence of coronary artery disease, leading to reduced areas of viable myocardium, is one reason for the less complete recovery of ejection fraction after TAVI in men, as recently demonstrated [17] with a clear negative effect on outcome.…”

Functional Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

“…1 Indeed, unlike CABG at the time of surgical aortic valve repair, 22,23 there is no agreement about the real benefit of treating coronary stenosis before or after TAVI in the absence of clear signs of ischemia. 24 In a group of 730 consecutive patients who underwent transapical TAVI, a single-stage combined treatment of severe AVS and CAD with PCI has been shown safe and feasible. Early and 3-year survival was comparable with that observed in patients without CAD who received TAVI only.…”

Impact of Coronary Artery Revascularization Completeness on Outcomes of Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

“…The robust clinical data showing that CAD per se is not an independent predictor of post-TAVR mortality 3,25 are probably explained by 2 factors:…”
