Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness, the safety and
the feasibility of simultaneous combined procedure of TAVI and coronary
arteries stenting in elderly and old patients with AVAS and CAD at high
surgical risk.
Methods and results: 173 patients were
assigned to two groups: I – patients with AVAS and CAD who underwent TAVI with
simultaneous stenting of the coronary arteries (n=35); II – patients with AVAS
without severe stenotic changes in the coronary arteries (n=138). The patients
from Group I underwent coronary arterial stenting (1,8 ± 0,8 stented vessels per
patient), and then – aortic valve implantation in conformity with the standard
technique. The patients from Group II underwent only TAVI. The success of
procedures in both groups was 100%, there were no intra- or perioperative
deaths, acute myocardial infarction, acute brain stroke, acute renal failure
requiring dialysis. The groups differed in procedure duration (139,5 ± 19,4 vs.
117± 15,3 min); x-ray exposure duration (39,4 ±10,1 vs.22+7.3 min); the volume
of contrast agent used (371,4 ± 89,4 vs. 316,8+ 43,4 ml). Maximal transvalvular
systolic pressure gradient after the procedure, paraprosthetic regurgitation,
as well as the rate of such complications as complete AV block (3,2% vs 3,9%)
and left bundle branch block (25% vs. 21%) were not statistically different
between the groups.
Conclusions: Combined simultaneous management
of elderly and old patients with severe aortic stenosis and CAD is effective,
feasible and safe. Within the first 30 days after the procedure there were no
significant differences in mortality and severe complications rate between
those who underwent simultaneous coronary arteries stenting and TAVI and those,
in whom were performed TAVI only.
