[Simultaneous coronary angioplasty and percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty: a case report].
A patient with symptomatic pliable mitral stenosis and a significant lesion of the left coronary artery underwent combined interventional procedures during a single session. From the femoral approach a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed, with unsatisfactory results and necessitating stent implantation. Thereafter, mitral valve stenosis was relieved by percutaneous balloon valvotomy.
