Takayasu's aortitis patients present a variety of symptoms, including angina pectoris, aortic valve regurgitation, and aortic branch stenosis. The case described in this paper primarily presented with angina pectoris. Close investigation revealed a left coronary artery ostium lesion, an aortic root aneurysm, and a mild aortic regurgitation. The patient underwent a modified Bentall operation with saphenous vein graft (SVG) replacement of the left main trunk. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient received oral steroid therapy. SVG is a useful option in treating aortic root aneurysm with an ostium lesion. |
