Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the management of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), highlighting inconsistencies in existing evidence.
- Using data from the REVASC-TAVI registry with 2407 patients, researchers compared outcomes between those who underwent complete versus incomplete myocardial revascularization.
- Findings indicate no significant differences in all-cause death or composite outcomes (like stroke and rehospitalization for heart failure) between the two groups after 2 years, suggesting that the completeness of revascularization may not impact outcomes for TAVI patients with stable CAD.
We investigated the outcomes of transcatheter (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in Finland during the last decade. The nationwide FinnValve registry included data from 6463 patients who underwent TAVR or SAVR with a bioprosthesis for aortic stenosis from 2008 to 2017. The annual number of treated patients increased three-fold during the study period.
