ABSTRACT: Background
Multivalvular heart disease is a highly prevalent condition that causes significant morbidity and mortality.Case summary
A 75-year-old man presented with worsening functional class and asthenia. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed severe aortic stenosis and severe mitral stenosis. The patient underwent transcatheter aortic and mitral valve replacement in the same procedure.Discussion
There is a lack of solid evidence regarding the management of multivalvular disease. Severe mitral stenosis can influence aortic stenosis, potentially leading to a low-flow, low-gradient profile. Establishing a streamlined workflow between transesophageal echo and cardiac tomography optimizes procedural safety, efficiency, and outcomes in patients with concomitant mitral an
