Overview
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is present in 60–70% of current TAVI patients1. Future TAVI patients will be treated at a younger age with longer life expectancy who may develop CAD. Therefore easy coronary access is paramount to treat current and future patient populations safely2.
This webinar aims to illustrate how to optimize procedural outcomes by using commissural alignment to preserve coronary access3,4 and increase options for possible future interventions.
