Abstract

Cardiovascular syphilis presented with concomitant aortic regurgitation (AR) and left coronary ostial stenosis is rare, usually treated with on-pump aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft. We report a critical case of AR and left coronary ostial stenosis due to cardiovascular syphilis treated with emergent salvage transcatheter aortic valve replacement and percutaneous coronary intervention.
