Management of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in patients with Valvular Heart Disease (VHD)

Recommendations Class Level
Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary angiography is recommended before valve surgery in patients with severe VHD and any of the following:

• history of cardiovascular disease

• suspected myocardial ischaemiad

• LV systolic dysfunction • in men >40 years of age and postmenopausal women

• one or more cardiovascular risk factors.

I C
Coronary angiography is recommended in the evaluation of moderate to severe secondary mitral regurgitation. I C
CT angiography should be considered as an alternative to coronary angiography before valve surgery in patients with severe VHD and low probability of CAD or in whom conven- tional coronary angiography is technically not feasible or associated with a high risk. II A
CT angiography should be considered as an alternative to coronary angiography before valve surgery in patients with severe VHD and low probability of CAD or in whom conven- tional coronary angiography is technically not feasible or associated with a high risk. IIa C
Indications for Myocardial Revascularization
CABG is recommended in patients with a primary indication for aortic/mitral valve surgery and coronary artery diameter stenosis ≥70% I C
CABG should be considered in patients with a primary indication for aortic/mitral valve surgery and coronary artery diameter stenosis ≥50–70%. IIa C
PCI should be considered in patients with a primary indication to undergo TAVI and coronary artery diameter stenosis >70% in proximal segments. IIa C
PCI should be considered in patients with a primary indication to undergo transcatheter mitral valve interventions and coronary artery diameter stenosis >70% in proximal segments. IIa C
CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; CAD = coronary artery disease; CT = computed tomography; LV = left ventricular; MSCT = multislice computed tomography; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; TAVI = transcatheter aortic valve implantation; VHD = valvular heart disease.
