• This presentation clearly summarised the clinical challenges in deciding if, and when, to revascularise patients with CAD who require TAVI, and supported the ‘common sense’ approach needed to resolve this issues in daily practice.
• The consensus at the session was that revascularisation is appropriate in severe CAD, but less severe disease might be better managed conservatively.
• The possibility that future coronary artery access could be compromised by TAVI should be considered when choosing the type of valve.
• Clinical trials including ACTIVATION will supplement the existing observational data and guide our practice.
