Abstract:
We describe the case of a 52-year-old man with radiation-induced severe mixed aortic and mitral valve disease, thickening of the aortomitral continuity, mitral annular calcification, and porcelain aorta with limited transcatheter treatment options. By replacing the aorta during circulatory arrest, we demonstrate that it is possible to clamp the ascending aorta to facilitate prosthetic aortic and mitral valve replacement.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
