Triple Valve Replacement in a Patient with Severe Combined Aortic and Mitral Stenosis

Cureus. 2020 Mar 25;12(3):e7412. doi: 10.7759/cureus.7412.

Abstract

With recent advancements and evidence in favor of transcatheter approach for valve replacements including valve-in-valve procedures, it has become a favorable choice particularly in critically ill patients. Additionally, transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement (TMViVR) is emerging as a less invasive substitute for patients with early dysfunctional bioprosthetic valve. We describe the clinical course of a 52-year-old male whose initial presentation to the hospital for dyspnea on exertion secondary to combined severe aortic and mitral stenosis got complicated requiring three valvular replacement procedures with favorable outcomes.

Keywords: aortic stenosis; mitral stenosis; transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement; valve replacement; valve replacement surgery.
