An 81-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with severe aortic stenosis. Her medical history included mitral valve replacement (MVR) with a 25-mm stented Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Magna mitral valve bioprosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences, CA, USA). Computed tomography revealed an aortic annulus area of 344 mm2, inter-commissural length of 23.0 × 17.7 mm, and minimum distance between the mitral prosthesis and aortic annulus (mitral–aortic distance) of 6.3 mm (Fig. 1a).
