Full description

Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in elderly patients represents a surgical challenge for cardiac surgeons due to heavy calcifications and associated comorbidities. Such conditions usually are associated with dramatic intra and postoperative complications leading to many cases being declined for open surgical replacement. Many treatment modalities were described including trans-catheter valvutomy but with only temporary improvements and high rates of recurrence. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has offered an alternative solution to such cases in which open surgery is deemed too risky or prohibited.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients undergoing TAVI. It has been reported with 40-75% of the patients with increased adverse outcomes.Despite performing TAVI alone in these patient has shown significant improvement, yet CAD has showed increased risk in terms of hemodynamic instability and risk of myocardial infarction during rapid pacing which is an important step during the TAVI procedure.

According to the AHA/ACC guidelines, in patients undergoing Aortic valve replacement/ repair (AVR) who also have significant CAD, the combination of Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and AVR reduces the rates of perioperative Myocardial Infarction, perioperative mortality, late mortality, and morbidity when compared with patients not undergoing simultaneous CABG, even though the combined operation carries a small but real increased risk of mortality (Class II A).

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been the commonly used treatment modality for (CAD) which is usually carried out pre TAVI or less commonly simultaneously with TAVI (mainly due to access limitation after valve implantation). In patients with intermediate or high SYNTAX scores, CABG remains the standard therapy. Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) procedure has demonstrated excellent results in these patients, due to the avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass and manipulation of the aorta.

Only a few studies in the literature have reported the combined approach of CABG and TAVI in treatment of coronary artery disease and severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Here the invesigators decided to study the early three months outcomes of patients undergoing TAVI and surgical revascularization.
