Background The impact of staged versus concomitant coronary procedures on renal function in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains unclear. Methods and Results Three-hundred thirty-nine patients undergoing coronary procedures and TAVI as a staged strategy (160, 47.2%) or concomitant strategy (179, 52.

Methods and Results Patients treated with TAVI or elective CA/PCI were retrospectively analyzed in terms of baseline and procedural characteristics, including preprocedural and postprocedural kidney function. CI-AKI was defined as a relative increase in serum creatinine concentration of at least 0.

- Patients with severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease were analyzed to compare outcomes between FFR-guided and angiography-guided revascularization during transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
- The study found that FFR-guided revascularization had a higher rate of event-free survival (92.6%) compared to angiography-guided (82.0%) at a 2-year follow-up.
- A significant number of lesions in the FFR group were considered negative for intervention based on the conventional threshold, suggesting that FFR can lead to better clinical outcomes than traditional angiography methods.
