The case study describes the hospitalization of women with aortic valve stenosis and secondary regurgitation of the tricuspid valve. The patient underwent aortic valve replacement by bioprosthesis and repair surgery of the tricuspid valve. The postoperative course was complicated by pneumohorax on the right side. Drainage was performed. The patient was placed in outpatient care on the eighth postoperative day.

Coronarography: left common coronary artery – without stenosis, LAD- without stenosis, circumflex artery- without stenosis, right coronary artery: without stenosis, Conclusion: physiological finding.
Diagnosis:
Aortic valve stenosis (AVA 0.78cm2)
Tricuspid valve regurgitation 2nd.-3rd. degree

Diabetes mellitus
Therapy and conclusion:
Treatment strategy:
Surgery (reparation/replacement) of aortic valve and surgery of tricuspid valve (reparation) indicated (AVR+TVr).
Surgery procedure:
Substitutio valvulae aortalis cum bioprosthesis, Trifecta GT, No. 19; TVr cum anuloplasty ring N28– CPB time: 72min, aortic clamp time: 63min.
Postoperative course:
Postoperative course complicated by pneumothorax. Drainage of right pleural cavity performed on the first day after surgery. Drain explanted on the 3rd day after surgery. On the 8th postoperative day released to outpatient care.
