Description
Summary:Patients with obstructive coronary artery disease and severe aortic stenosis have traditionally been managed with open heart surgery. In the era of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and high-risk coronary interventions many of those patients who were previously considered “terminal” can now be successfully managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and TAVR. Although simple PCI can be safely combined with TAVR in the same procedure, high-risk coronary interventions often need to be performed separately. We report the first case of combined rotational atherectomy with balloon aortic valvuloplasty as a bridge to TAVR in a frail patient with complex coronary artery disease and critical aortic stenosis. Resumo: O grupo de doentes com doença coronária obstrutiva e estenose aórtica grave foi tratado, conforme é habitual, com cirurgia de coração aberto. Na era de substituição valvular aórtica percutânea (TAVR) e das intervenções coronárias de alto risco, muitos daqueles doentes que foram previamente considerados «terminais», podem agora ser tratados com sucesso com intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP) e com TAVR. Embora a simples ICP possa ser prudentemente combinada com a TAVR no mesmo procedimento, as intervenções coronárias de alto risco necessitam muitas vezes de ser efetuadas em separado. Apresentamos o primeiro caso clínico de aterectomia rotacional combinada com valvuloplastia aórtica com balão como ponte para TAVR numa doente frágil com doença coronária complexa e estenose aórtica crítica.
