ABSTRACT
A 60-year-old female was admitted to our hospital who suffered from palpitation and dyspnea. Echocardiography revealed severe aortic regurgitation and enlargement of ascending aorta. Electrocardiogram showed tachycardia due to atrial fibrillation. We performed the aortic root replacement with Carboseal composite graft and pulmonary vein isolation using Cardioblate BiPolar (BP) system. Histopathologic diagnosis was giant isolated aortitis. The post operative course was uneventful. And the patient was discharged in normal sinus rhythm.
