    Author: Lemaire A, Cuttone F, Caprio S, Massetti M, Galateau-Salle F.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2014 Mar; 22(3):342-4. PubMed ID: 24585914.
    Abstract:
    Noninfectious ascending aortitis is a very rare cause of ascending aortic aneurysm. We report a case of the truly fortuitous finding of this rare condition in a 67-year-old man operated on for an ascending aortic aneurysm associated with dystrophic aortic valve regurgitation. Intraoperative inspection revealed dissection of the aorta just above the left main coronary artery. A modified Bentall operation was performed. The pathological diagnosis was giant cell arteritis.
