ABSTRACT: Background
Aortic stenosis with concomitant aortic dissection poses unique challenges for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We present such a case in a patient with 29% ejection fraction and a horizontal aorta, in whom combined TAVR and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was successfully performed. This case highlights the importance of multimodal imaging planning and multidisciplinary discussion in managing complex cardiovascular pathologies.Case summary
An 82-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis, decompensated heart failure with 29% ejection fraction, multisegmented coronary artery disease (with 5 coronary stents implanted), chronic aortic dissection (Stanford B), and multiple aortic aneurysms underwent successful TAVR and TEVAR via left femoral
