Abstract:
Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock and severe combined aortic and mitral regurgitation represent a major clinical challenge. Therapeutic options are limited in this setting as they are often deemed inoperable due to prohibitive risk for surgery, while mechanical circulatory support is usually contraindicated or technically challenging. Medical therapy, on the other hand, is associated with high-mortality rates. Therefore, percutaneous therapies may represent an appealing alternative. Here, we present a "one-stop-shop" totally percutaneous approach for severe aortic and mitral regurgitation in a patient with cardiogenic shock.
