Transcatheter double native valve replacement was successfully performed in a 54-year-old male with severe aortic and mitral stenosis deemed high risk for surgery.
Case Report (n=1)
Transcatheter double native valve replacement is a viable option for patients with severe aortic and mitral stenosis who are at high surgical risk due to severe calcification.
Concomitant mitral and aortic valve stenosis in a patient with mitral annular calcification and porcelain aorta poses a unique problem to the surgical team. Transcatheter aortic and mitral valve replacements in native valves offer a viable option for such selected group of patients. We present the case of a 54-year-old male who presented with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and severe mitral stenosis (MS) but was deemed high risk for surgery owing to intense calcification of the aorta and mitral annular calcification, and successfully underwent transcatheter double native valve replacement.
Mehta et al. (Sun,) conducted a case report in Severe aortic stenosis and severe mitral stenosis with mitral annular calcification (n=1). Transcatheter double native valve replacement was evaluated. Transcatheter double native valve replacement was successfully performed in a 54-year-old male with severe aortic and mitral stenosis deemed high risk for surgery.
