Impact of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Insights from the FRANCE-2 registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, the impact of CAD distribution before TAVR on short- and long-term prognosis remains unclear.

Hypothesis

We hypothesized that the long-term clinical impact differs according to CAD distribution in patients undergoing TAVR using the FRench Aortic National CoreValve and Edwards (FRANCE-2) registry.

Methods

FRANCE-2 is a national French registry including all consecutive TAVR performed between 2010 and 2012 in 34 centers. Three-year mortality was assessed in relation to CAD status. CAD was defined as at least 1 coronary stenosis >50%.

Results

A total of 4201 patients were enrolled in the registry. For the present analysis, we excluded p
