Abstract:Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic necrotising vasculitis involving the respiratory and renal tracts. Dual valvular involvement in WG is uncommon. We describe a 52-year-old patient with aortic regurgitation and mitral stenosis due to WG requiring replacement of both valves. We also discuss a strategy for follow-up of asymptomatic WG patients with suspected heart valve involvement.
