INTRODUCTION: We present a rare case in which both a double cardiac valve replacement was performed as well as a hepatic resection.

She underwent a simultaneous right hepatectomy with cardiac valve replacement. DISCUSSION: Management of this challenging case is discussed. CONCLUSION: We advocate the possibility of performing combined operations where both valve replacement and hepatic resection is required.
