🩺 TAVI first vs PCI first: New trial results in

A TAVI-first strategy was found to be noninferior to a PCI-first strategy after one year of follow-up. This was shown in a randomized trial involving 986 patients with aortic stenosis across 48 centers in several European countries. The primary endpoint occurred in 22.2% of the TAVI-first group versus 24.2% in the PCI-first group. The study shows clinicians now have a choice in treatment planning for these patients. Overall, the results suggest PCI does not automatically need to be done before TAVI. 🩺
