Safety and feasibility of PCI in patients undergoing TAVR: A systematic review and meta-analysis

We aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) by performing a meta-analysis. A systemic search of the database was performed. Studies were included comparing TAVR versus TAVR with PCI for significant CAD in patients undergoing TAVR for severe aortic stenosis. The primary outcome was 30 day mortality and secondary outcomes were myocardial infarction, stroke, life threatening bleeding, major access site vascular complications and renal failure.
