A significant proportion of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). A better understanding of how we assess and interpret coronary physiology in these patients is required to optimise treatment pathways.

Is it Ok to define structural valve dysfunction(SVD) based on gradient alone ? Flow is physiology. Sub physiological valve destruction very much possible without affecting gradient. Is there any meaningful explanation why surgeons valve deteriorated fast ? It was not mandatory. Did TEE/CT follow up imaging done ?

The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Aortic angiogram did not reveal aortic dissection. If you see this, you should Doppler the valve. In fact, bedside ultrasound might even find severe aortic stenosis.

Aortic stenosis (AS) was historically considered a disease of the left side of the heart, with the main pathophysiological impact being predominantly on the left ventricle (LV). This review will summarise the features of normal RV physiology and the mechanisms responsible for RV impairment in AS.
