RESUMEN

We reported a case of successful simultaneous mitral and aortic valvuloplasty using rasping procedure. A 55-year-old woman with combined valvular disease received this operation. Postoperatively, the mitral valve area increased from 1.15 cm2 to 2.03 cm2. Mitral regurgitation improved. Aortic valve pressure gradient decreased from 21 mmHg to 0 mmHg. Aortic regurgitation also improved. Cardiac Index (CI) increased from 1.94 l/min./m2 to 2.59 l/min./m2. Ejection fraction (EF) also increased from 60% to 82%. The postoperative course was uneventful. Excellent postoperative results of this procedure may be expected, not only in single valvular disease but also in combined valvular disease.
