摘要
In summary, this case highlights how a heavily calcified aorta, which was initially detected with transesophageal echocardiography, limited the management of a patient with combined aortic valve stenosis and coronary artery disease. These findings led to a complete change in surgical plan guided by a multidisciplinary discussion of all possible approaches and their implications. Fortunately, the patient had an uneventful in-hospital course as planned. A video summarizing the case including TEE video clips is also presented. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
