Abstract
The present report describes a patient with severe mitral stenosis and coronary artery disease who was successfully treated by combined percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty and coronary angioplasty. A few days following these procedures, the patient, probably as a result of thrombus embolization in the LAD artery, developed signs of an evolving anterior myocardial infarction and was successfully treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy. This case demonstrates the feasibility of the combined appliance of interventional techniques in selected patients as an alternative to cardiac surgery.
