    Abstract:
    A case of aortic and mitral regurgitation associated with aortitis syndrome was presented. The patient was a 36-year-old female who admitted for palpitation and dyspnea. Left ventriculography showed moderate MR. Aortography showed moderate AR and multiple occlusive lesion of the aortic arch branches. After the inflammation was controlled, aortic and mitral valve replacement was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful. Histologically, aortic and mitral valve showed capillary increase and infiltration of inflammatory cells, mainly lymphocytes.
