Key result
Simultaneous aortic valve replacement and nephrectomy was performed for severe aortic stenosis and a left renal mass, highlighting a combined approach for coexisting life-threatening conditions.
Why the study?
Literature is scarce regarding standards of management for patients with two coexisting life-threatening conditions requiring combined cardiac and noncardiac procedures.
Simultaneous aortic valve replacement and nephrectomy may be a viable approach for patients with coexisting severe aortic stenosis and renal mass.
May support combined AVR-nephrectomy in select comorbid cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
A 60-year-old man presented to the authors’ institution and underwent simultaneous surgery for severe aortic stenosis and left renal mass. Potential benefits of a combined cardiac and noncardiac procedure are discussed. The literature, however, is scarce on standards of management of patients with two coexisting life-threatening conditions.
