Is Myocardial Revascularization Really Necessary in Patients With ≥50-70% Coronary Stenosis Undergoing Valvular Surgery?

Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Heart Valve Diseases
Registration Number
NCT05836467
Lead Sponsor
Michele De Bonis
Brief Summary

It is well documented in the literature that myocardial revascularization during valve surgery increases the risk of early mortality and morbidity.

According to the most recent version of the European Guidelines, the possibility of myocardial revascularization via coronary artery bypass should be evaluated in patients with an indication for surgical treatment of heart valve disease but with coronary artery stenosis ≥ 50-70%.

In this study, patients hospitalized for surgical heart valve disease, with occasional pre-operative finding of ≥ 50-70% coronary artery stenosis, without angina, are examined. After interdisciplinary discussion in the Heart Team, it was decided not to treat coronary artery disease during valve surgery. The aim is to evaluate the short and medium-term results of this "conscious omission".
