Abstract
Key Points
The presence and complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as angiography‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention regardless of completeness were not associated with worse outcomes compared to those without CAD undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Revascularization of CAD in patients undergoing TAVI is safe, but should not be performed routinely. Revascularization should be guided by the heart team.
Future randomized studies are needed to address whether revascularization in patients with CAD undergoing TAVI impacts clinical outcomes post‐TAVI and if so, does completeness or timing of revascularization play a role.
