- Abstract
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a prevalent condition in the elderly population that can have severe consequences. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an effective alternative treatment for elderly individuals with symptomatic severe AS and high surgical risk. However, the efficacy of TAVI in the presence of malignancy remains controversial. This case report presents a TAVI procedure performed on a 60-year-old patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), right bundle branch block (RBBB), and symptomatic severe AS. The patient's condition, comorbidities, and life expectancy were thoroughly evaluated by a multidisciplinary team, leading to the decision to proceed with TAVI. The procedure was performed successfully without complications, and the patient's 30-day outcomes were uneventful.
