    Journal: J Cardiovasc Comput Tomogr; 2014; 8(4):331-3. PubMed ID: 25151925.
    Abstract:
    Cardiovascular syphilis is associated with the tertiary stage of syphilis infection; it involves the ascending aorta and can cause aortic aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, and coronary ostial stenosis. We report here a case in which bilateral coronary ostial stenosis and aortic regurgitation due to syphilitic aortitis was diagnosed; coronary artery bypass graft was then performed.
