Valvular & structural heart diseaseCohort study
Timing and Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Conjunction With Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) With Balloon-Expandable Valves
- Retrospective cohort study
- registry-based
- propensity-matched
Authors' conclusion
Patients undergoing concomitant PCI and TAVR had higher major vascular complications, and slightly higher composite of all-cause mortality and stroke compared with those who underwent PCI within 90 days before the TAVR procedure.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with stable CAD undergoing PCI and TAVR with SAPIEN 3 balloon-expandable valves, STS/ACC TVT Registry with Medicare Linkage, 2015–2023
- Participants
- 51,480 patients
- Exposure
- PCI before TAVR vs concomitant PCI and TAVR
- Outcome
- All-cause mortality, stroke, and composite of mortality and stroke
- Follow-up
- Up to 3 years
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
3-year follow-up
| Outcome | PCI before TAVR | Concomitant PCI | PCI after TAVR | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All-cause mortality | 38.1% | 38.8% | Not reported in the abstract | P = 0.013 |
| Mortality and stroke | 42.8% | 43.5% | Not reported in the abstract | P = 0.012 |
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Safety
| Outcome | PCI before TAVR | Concomitant PCI | PCI after TAVR | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
