Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A 63-year-old woman with history of mediastinal radiation was admitted for decompensated heart failure due to severe post-radiation aortic and mitral valve disease. To reduce cardiopulmonary bypass time and postoperative pulmonary complications, she underwent a hybrid approach with robotic mitral valve replacement and transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
