Abstract

We report on simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting to the left anterior descending artery, modified transapical aortic valve implantation, and stenting of the circumflex and right coronary arteries in an 84-year-old patient. The poly-morbid patient with a logistic EuroSCORE of 85% experienced recent myocardial infarction; the left ventricular ejection fraction was reduced to 20%. Postoperative recovery was fast and short. The strategy described is the next logical step in broadening the indication for transcatheter aortic valve interventions.
