ABSTRACT
Aneurysms of the ascending aorta are relatively uncommon disorders which are located in ascending portion of the thoracic aorta. The commenest cause of aneurysms of the ascending aorta is arteriosclerosis, but syphilis, marfan syndrome, cystic medial necrosis, trauma, and aging of the aorta must also be noted as causes. We report a case with a aneurysm of the ascending aorta, 23 years old female, who was performed the open heart surgery because of ventricular septal defect with aortic insufficiency about 10 years ago.
