Clinical case of endovascular coronary revascularization after TAVI

Abstract

The frequency of TAVI procedures worldwide is progressively increasing. The age of patients applying for TAVI is also declining, as a result of which life expectancy is increasing. Atherosclerotic disease (including ischemic heart disease) and aortic stenosis share some common risk factors and pathogenesis, which explains the frequent combination of diseases in the same patient. We present a clinical case of successful percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient presenting with acute coronary syndrome with a previously implanted TAVI prosthesis.
