  • Title: [A case of aortitis syndrome treated by simultaneous procedure of Bentall's operation and aortic arch replacement].
    Author: Matsuoka M, Makino S, Saitoh K, Hiraiwa T, Kinoshita T, Fujii H.
    Journal: Nihon Kyobu Geka Gakkai Zasshi; 1992 Oct; 40(10):1941-5. PubMed ID: 1431416.
    Abstract:
    The case is a 22-year-old man, in whom chest X-P pointed out aortic and cardiac shadow enlargements. Aortography revealed extensive aortic aneurysm involving the ascending, arch, and proximal descending portions of the aorta, accompanied with annulo-aortic ectasia, aortic regurgitation, and stenosis of the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries, suggesting lesions due to aortitis syndrome. For this case, Bentall's operation and replacement of the aortic arch and the proximal descending aorta were performed simultaneously, using hypothermic selective cerebral perfusion. Favorable postoperative course and absent neurological abnormality enabled the patient to return to his former social work. Steroid therapy has been continued up to the present, 5 years postoperatively, with neither recurrence of inflammation nor occurrence of cardiac murmur.
