TAVI and PCI in Comparison to SAVR and CABG in Low and Intermediate Risk Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis

2026年11月5日 更新者：moustafa abdelmohsen elsayed mohamed、Alexandria University

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Combined With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Comparison to Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Combined With Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Low and Intermediate Surgical Risk Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis and Significant Coronary Artery Disease

# WHAT IS THIS STUDY ABOUT?

This study compares two different treatment approaches for patients with two heart conditions occurring simultaneously: a narrowed heart valve (aortic stenosis) and narrowed or blocked heart arteries (coronary artery disease). Both conditions are serious and, when they occur together, place considerable strain on the heart. The heart must work harder to pump blood through the narrowed valve while simultaneously receiving an inadequate blood supply through the blocked coronary arteries.

# WHY IS THIS STUDY NEEDED?

Until recently, the main treatment option for patients with both conditions was open-heart surgery. This major operation involves opening the chest, temporarily stopping the heart, replacing the heart valve with an artificial valve, and performing coronary artery bypass grafting to restore blood flow around the blocked arteries. Although effective, combined surgery carries significant risks, particularly in older or frailer patients, including prolonged recovery, longer hospital stays (often 2 to 3 weeks), bleeding, kidney injury, and other complications.

A newer, less invasive treatment approach is now available. This involves replacing the heart valve through a thin tube (catheter) inserted through a blood vessel in the groin, without opening the chest, and treating the blocked coronary arteries using a fine wire, a small balloon, and a metal mesh tube (stent) placed inside the artery. This approach, known as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) combined with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), typically requires a shorter hospital stay of approximately 2 to 4 days and may allow an earlier return to normal activities.

However, sufficient evidence from well-designed studies is not yet available to establish whether this less invasive approach is as safe and effective as conventional surgery in patients who are not considered at high surgical risk.

This study aims to address this evidence gap.

# WHO CAN JOIN THIS STUDY?

Adults with severe aortic stenosis and significant coronary artery disease who have been assessed by a specialist heart team as having low or intermediate surgical risk may be eligible to participate.

All participants must be considered suitable for both the catheter-based treatment approach and the surgical approach, based on individual coronary anatomy, clinical characteristics, and medical history.

Patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery, severely impaired left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction below 40%), or a recent myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months are not eligible to participate.

  • WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF A PATIENT JOINS THE STUDY?

Participants will receive one of two treatment approaches, selected by a specialist heart team according to individual coronary and valvular anatomy, clinical circumstances, and patient preference:

  1. Catheter-based aortic valve replacement combined with coronary artery stenting (TAVI + PCI).

  2. Conventional open-heart surgery involving surgical aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting (SAVR + CABG).

    Regardless of the treatment received, all participants will undergo follow-up assessments at hospital discharge, 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after the procedure. Follow-up will include clinical assessments and appropriate cardiac investigations.

    • WHAT IS THE STUDY MEASURING?

    The study will evaluate the incidence of major complications, including all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, serious bleeding, and the need for urgent repeat intervention, during the index hospitalization and within 1 year after the procedure.

    Additional outcomes will include recovery duration, length of hospital stay, and changes in kidney function.

    • WHERE IS THE STUDY TAKING PLACE?

    The study is being conducted at Alexandria University Hospitals and other major cardiac centres across Egypt, with a planned total enrolment of 100 participants.

    # WHO IS CONDUCTING THE STUDY?

    The study is being conducted by Dr. Moustafa AbdelMohsen Elsayed Madkour, Department of Cardiology and Angiology, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Egypt, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Sobhy and Prof. Dr. Tarek Hussien Elzawawy.

详细说明

Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease requiring intervention in adults, affecting approximately 2-5% of individuals over 65 years of age. Coronary artery disease (CAD) coexists in 50-75% of patients referred for treatment of severe AS, reflecting shared risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms, including active fibrocalcific valve disease with similarities to atherosclerosis. The simultaneous presence of both conditions creates a complex hemodynamic environment. AS-related left ventricular pressure overload induces concentric hypertrophy, reduces capillary density, elevates left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, impairs coronary flow reserve, and contributes to chronic subendocardial ischemia, even in the absence of significant epicardial coronary disease. The coexistence of significant epicardial CAD further aggravates the myocardial oxygen supply-demand imbalance, potentially accelerating clinical deterioration and worsening cardiovascular outcomes.

An additional complexity involves the assessment of coronary lesion severity using fractional flow reserve (FFR), a standard invasive index for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenoses. In the setting of severe AS, altered coronary hemodynamics and impaired hyperemic responses may affect FFR measurements, potentially resulting in overestimation of FFR values and underestimation of the functional significance of coronary lesions. The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) appears comparatively less affected by these hemodynamic changes and may provide an alternative physiological assessment in patients with severe AS.

For decades, surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been the standard treatment strategy for surgically eligible patients with concomitant AS and CAD. This approach provides the potential for complete and durable myocardial revascularization but is associated with substantial operative morbidity, including 30-day mortality rates of approximately 4-8% in intermediate-risk populations, mean hospital stays of 8-14 days, cardiopulmonary bypass-related acute kidney injury, neurocognitive complications, and bleeding.

The development and progressive expansion of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have introduced an alternative treatment strategy for patients with severe AS. Landmark clinical trials, including PARTNER 2, PARTNER 3, Evolut Low Risk, and DEDICATE-DZHK6 (2024), have demonstrated non-inferiority or superiority of TAVI compared with SAVR across selected low- and intermediate-surgical-risk populations. The combination of TAVI and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) offers a fully percutaneous treatment alternative that avoids median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass.

Despite these advantages, the TAVI + PCI strategy presents several clinical challenges. The optimal timing of PCI in relation to TAVI remains a subject of ongoing debate. Coronary re-engagement following TAVI may be technically challenging or restricted by the implanted prosthetic valve frame, with reported failure rates in selected settings. Furthermore, PCI may result in incomplete coronary revascularization compared with surgical bypass, particularly in patients with complex multivessel coronary disease.

Robust prospective comparative evidence evaluating TAVI + PCI versus SAVR + CABG in patients with low and intermediate surgical risk remains limited. Existing evidence from retrospective registries has demonstrated conflicting findings, with some studies reporting lower in-hospital mortality following TAVI + PCI, while others have shown differences in long-term outcomes potentially favouring SAVR + CABG. Prospective comparative studies with standardized endpoint definitions and adjudication specifically addressing this patient population remain necessary.

The present study aims to contribute prospective comparative evidence regarding the clinical outcomes and safety of TAVI + PCI versus SAVR + CABG in patients with concomitant severe AS and significant CAD who are considered at low or intermediate surgical risk.
