Abstract

Patients with concomitant severe aortic stenosis (AS) and severe mitral stenosis (MS) with mitral annular calcification (MAC) constitute an elderly high-risk population with multiple baseline comorbidities that coexist even before they develop severe valvular dysfunction. Transcatheter mitral valve replacements (TMVR) offer an alternative option for high-risk patient with severe MS with MAC. A simultaneous transfemoral Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and transseptal TMVR is feasible and offers the least invasive approach of management. We are reporting a case of an 83-year-old man with very symptomatic severe AS and severe native MS with associated severe MAC and moderate mitral regurgitation with high STS score who underwent a simultaneous transfemoral TAVR and transseptal TMVR with good results and great improvement in symptoms that was maintained on 10 months follow-up.

Keywords: transcatheter aortic valve replacement; transcatheter mitral valve replacement; transeptal access; transfemoral access.
