Abstract: | A 69-year-old patient presented with an association of tracheal squamous cell carcinoma and severe aortic valve stenosis. As there was no evidence of metastatic spread a potentially curative resection could be considered. The patient underwent tracheal resection and aortic valve replacement in a one-stage procedure. In light of the potential risk of infection to a prosthetic valve, a cryopreserved aortic valve homograft was implanted. The patient made a full recovery and is doing well after 2 years of follow-up. |
