Catheter versus surgical approach for the management of concomitant aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease: An inverse probability treatment weighting analysis.

Background: Two therapeutic strategies are available when aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease coexist: a transcatheter approach, with percutaneous coronary intervention followed by transcatheter aortic valve replacement; and a surgical approach, consisting of surgical aortic valve replacement combined with coronary artery bypass graft.

Aim: We sought to compare the outcomes of these two strategies.

Methods: The study population consisted of 241 patients who benefited from aortic valve replacement and coronary revascularization (transcatheter, n=150; surgery, n=91).
