Concomitant Transapical Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Revascularization

Abstract

An 84-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) was admitted repeatedly with syncope and heart failure. Due to her comorbidities, concomitant transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) were performed. She did well postoperatively. CAD is often found concurrently in patients presenting with severe symptomatic AS. Concomitant TAVR and OPCAB is considered as a less invasive and more feasible treatment option in high-risk patients.
