Abstract

We describe the case of a 40-year-old man who presented with an ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve regurgitation. The patient underwent a Bentall surgical procedure. Pathologic findings were consistent with giant cell aortitis with synchronous cartilaginous and osseous metaplasia with bone marrow formation in the degenerated aortic valve. The coexistence of these findings has not been previously reported in the English language literature.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
