Abstract:
Concomitant cardiac and pulmonary operations with and without extracorporeal circulation have been described before. The advent of therapies like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) creates new options for managing patients with valvular heart disease and concomitant lung cancer. We report a case of left upper lobe squamous cell carcinoma and severe aortic stenosis. After open S2 segmentectomy, a transapical TAVR was performed through the same incision. The patient remains well after 36 months. Combined TAVR and pulmonary resection for lung cancer is feasible in selected patients.
