Abstract

The incidences of hip fracture and aortic valve stenosis are increasing in the aging population. Operative repair for hip fracture contributes to excellent clinical results. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation, which does not require cardiopulmonary bypass, represents a new era for the treatment of aortic valve stenosis. We herein describe a patient with both hip fracture and severe aortic valve stenosis. A 93-year-old woman underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation for the valve stenosis immediately followed by open repair surgery for the fracture. She fully recovered without heart failure during the postoperative rehabilitation period. The performance of concomitant surgeries for hip fracture and aortic valve stenosis might increase in the future.
