Rotational atherectomy through a coronary artery bypass graft after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aortic stenosis (AS) in the elderly is frequently associated with complex coronary artery disease. Rotational atherectomy (RA) in this clinical setting is challenging because coronary slow flow could lead to haemodynamic instability aggravated by the severe AS.

Case summary

We present the case of an 83-year-old woman with symptomatic severe AS, mildly decreased left ventricular ejection fraction and history of coronary artery bypass grafting with right internal mammary artery (RIMA) to the right coronary artery (RCA) and left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery and further percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the circumflex. First, we performed a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to treat the severe AS. Because of per
