[Mitral and aortic valve replacement associated with aortitis syndrome: a case report].
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.
