title: [Aortitis syndrome associated with aortic regurgitation and coronary ostial stenosis: a case of successful surgical treatment at the active stage].
abstract: A 24-year-old woman with aortic regurgitation and ostial stenosis of coronary artery due to aortitis syndrome was reported. She was admitted to the hospital with anterior chest pain. Retrograde aortogram showed aortic regurgitation and selective coronary angiogram revealed severe ostial stenosis. In spite of steroid therapy, chest pain was not controlled. In spite of the active stage, she underwent aorto-coronary bypass and aortic valve replacement. Intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) was necessary to wean from cardio-pulmonary bypass, but she recovered well and no complication was recognized after operation.
