Percutaneous Coronary Intervention following Placement of Sutureless Aortic Bioprostheses

Coronary artery disease is often present with aortic stenosis. Although transcatheter aortic valve replacement and minimally invasive surgery provide alternative sternal-sparing options for isolated aortic valve replacement, non-sternotomy treatment of combined coronary artery disease and aortic stenosis has not been well-defined. We report 3 patients who presented with severe aortic stenosis and obstructive coronary artery disease in whom minimally invasive aortic valve replacement using sutureless valve was performed, followed by transradial percutaneous coronary intervention of obstructive coronary lesion. This case series demonstrates a hybrid technique for the treatment of combined severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease, which has potential for adequately treating both conditions with minimal risk
