Late coronary ischemıc syndromes assocıated wıth transcatheter aortıc valve ımplantatıon: A revıew of mechanıstıc and clınıcal aspects

In the past years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a promising option for the treatment of aortic valve pathologies particularly in the the presence of surgically high-risk situations. Importantly, a variety of specific procedural complications including acute coronary osteal occlusion, though very rare, has been reported in major clinical studies. However, little is known about the late impact of TAVI on coronary system at the macro and microvascular levels.
