First-in-Man Simultaneous Aortic and Mitral Valve Transcatheter Implantation Using Patient-Customized Prostheses

Abstract

Valve disease in the presence of porcelain aorta and severe peripheral artery disease challenge physicians in choosing the appropriate therapy. We used a total transcatheter approach, simultaneously implanting a dedicated mitral and aortic valve prosthesis treating a patient with mitral and aortic valve disease at an extremely high surgical risk. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
