title: Coronary artery disease in patients undergoing TAVI--why not to treat.
abstract: The management of coronary artery disease in the context of severe aortic stenosis in patients at increased surgical risk is an increasingly relevant problem in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) era. We review the current data on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in TAVI patients and discuss how it has impacted upon our decision making, advocating that pre-TAVI revascularisation is not necessarily required.
