The association between aortic valve disease and coronary atherosclerosis is common. In the recent era of transcatheter aortic valve implantation there is little experience with coronary artery intervention after valve implantation. We report a case of a 80 year-old male who underwent successful coronary artery intervention few months after a Medtronic CoreValve System â„¢ percutaneous implantation for severe aortic valve stenosis. Verification of the position of the used wires (crossing from inside the self expanding frame) is of utmost importance before proceeding to coronary intervention. In this case, crossing the aortic valve, coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention were successfully performed. In conclusion, percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with previous Medtronic CoreValve System â„¢ implantation is feasible and safe.
