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 median CABG SYNTAX score was 16 (interquartile range: 9.0–23), The CABG SYNTAX score did not influence the prognosis after TAVR.

Non-coronary atherosclerosis: a marker of poor prognosis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Variables and prognosis were analysed based on the presence or absence of NCA, defined as previous stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or peripheral artery disease (PAD) [lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), carotid disease, previous lower limb vascular surgery, or abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)].
