AB  - A  74-year-old  man  with  severe  aortic  stenosis  and  oxygen-dependent  lung  disease  was  referred  for  treatment  of  aortic  valve  disease.  His  past  medical  history  was  significant  for  diabetes  mellitus,  hypertension,  hyperlipidemia,  coronary  artery  disease,  peripheral  vascular  disease,  and  interstitial  lung  disease.  Pulmonary  function  testing  6  months  earlier  showed  moderate  restrictive  lung  disease  (total  lung  capacity  58%  predicted)  and  severely  reduced  diffusion  capacity  (31%  predicted).  Over  the  preceding  few  months,  he  had  experienced  rapidly  worsening  dyspnea  and  oxygen  desaturations  at  rest,  requiring  initiation  of  supplement  oxygen.  Computed  tomography  scan  of  the  lungs  showed  end-stage  interstitial  fibrotic  lung  disease,  and  echocardiogram  showed  mildly  depressed  left  ventricular  function  (ejection  fraction  45%-50%)  with  severe  aortic  stenosis  (peak  velocity  5.0  m/s,  mean  gradient  60  mm  Hg,  valve  area  0.77  cm2).  He  was  referred  for  consideration  of  aortic  valve  replacement.
