ABSTRACT
Surgically treatable valvular heart disease is common in patients with end-stage lung disease. Nevertheless, advanced lung disease is often seen as a contraindication to cardiac surgery, and severe valvular disease is seen as a contraindication to lung transplantation. This report describes the case of a patient presenting with very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe mitral regurgitation who was managed with transcatheter mitral valve repair and who subsequently underwent successful lung transplantation. Critical valvular heart disease in patients with chronic respiratory failure may be amenable to transcatheter therapy, which may favorably affect lung transplantation candidacy.
