ABSTRACT: Background
Transcatheter double valve replacement is an evolving strategy for managing combined mitral and aortic valve disease, particularly in patients with bioprosthetic valve degeneration.Case summary
We report the case of an octogenarian with severe native mitral regurgitation and stenosis of a degenerated transcatheter aortic valve. Comorbid conditions, including extensive peripheral and coronary artery disease, limited conventional surgical and transcatheter access options. A tailored approach involving single-stage transapical implantation of a balloon-expandable aortic prosthesis and a dedicated mitral system resulted in favorable hemodynamic and clinical outcome.Discussion
This case represents the first published use of dedicated transcatheter mitral devic
