Coronary angioplasty after self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

: Aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease share comorbidities/risk factors; thus, it is not surprising they occur concomitantly. With increased life expectancy of patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the rate of post-TAVI percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is expected to rise. In the current report, we present two cases using PCI following CoreValve (Medtronic) implantation. Our cases indicated that the procedure is feasible and safe, but requires careful planning and understanding of the three-dimensional geometry of the prosthetic valve and its relation to the coronary ostia.
