The effect of coronary artery disease defined by quantitative coronary angiography and SYNTAX score upon outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using the Edwards bioprosthesis

Abstract

Significant CAD, as defined using "real-world" QCA margins, did not have a significant effect upon mortality after TAVI for severe aortic stenosis. However, higher-risk SYNTAX groups, including those with a score >9, had increased mortality.
