Impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary lesion complexity on outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. The CABG SYNTAX score did not influence the prognosis after TAVR.

Intervention for critical aortic stenosis in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, HGPS patient-device size mismatch, pervasive peripheral arterial disease, skin and bone abnormalities, and lifelong failure to thrive present unique challenges to intervention. Two cases received TAVR and 2 received AAC post-summit.
