[A case of concomitant aortic stenosis and aortic arch aneurysm: a combined endovascular approach]

Aortic valve stenosis and aortic aneurysmal disease are increasingly prevalent with advancing age. When associated, their treatment is very challenging. A female patient with previous Tirone-David procedure presented to our hospital with acute heart failure. She was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis, aneurysm of the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta. She underwent successful concomitant aortic arch TEVAR and transcatheter aortic valve repair, with optimal acute and mid-term result. Our case demonstrates that a careful pre-procedural planning, along with a good cooperation between interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, radiologists and clinical cardiologists, are essential in order to guarantee an excellent outcome for the patient.
