Abstract :
Aortitis is an infrequent cause of aortic root dilatation and aortic valve regurgitation. Valve-sparing procedures have been
proposed, but there is not clear evidence of which is the treatment of choice. We report the case of a 38-year-old pregnant lady with
a diagnosis of idiopathic aortitis associated with aortic root aneurysm and severe aortic valve regurgitation.
