[Transcatheter Treatment of Degenerative Critical Aortic Valve Stenosis in a Patient With Severe Heart Failure and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia]
Abstract
Surgical aortic valve replacement is the standard therapy for severe aortic valve stenosis, however one third of patients are rejected because of high surgical risk. Under medical treatment alone these patients have a very poor prognosis with a high mortality rate. We present a case of 70-year-old male patient with degenerative symptomatic critical aortic stenosis and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Due to recurrence.
