Unusual Case of Annuloaortic Ectasia - A Case Report

Abstract

Annuloaortic ectasia is a rare cardiovascular condition characterized by aneurysmal dilatation of aortic annulus and ascending aorta resulting in aortic insufficiency. As the ascending aorta enlarges, the risk of aortic rupture or dissection also rises. As per our knowledge, ascending aorta aneurysm more than 9cm without dissection or rupture has scarcely been reported.
