    Abstract:
    A 57-year-old man, who had undergone aorto-coronary bypass surgery 4 years before when the shape of the ascending aorta had been normal, had a unique orange-shaped aortic root aneurysm associated with severe aortic regurgitation and congestive heart failure. Replacement of the aneurysm and the aortic valve was successfully carried out, and histopathological examination revealed that the aneurysm was caused by aortitis syndrome.
