We report a 71‐year‐old male who underwent successful minimally invasive transapical aortic valve implantation to treat severe aortic stenosis, with simultaneous pulmonary resection for the treatment of lung cancer. At five‐year follow‐up the patient remains free of symptoms (NYHA I) and recurrence. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12223 (J Card Surg 2013;28:660–662)
