The optimal management of concomitant chronic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients remains a debated topic. While some advocate for pre-TAVR percutaneous coronary intervention, others adopt an expectant approach. European Heart Journal 2024.

The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. 6,7 Surgical repair of AS, by either TAVR or SAVR, is the definitive treatment for this condition. In the cath lab, the patient’s blood pressure remained low.
