ABSTRACT
A 33-year-old man with severe aortic regurgitation underwent initial aortic valve replacement (AVR). During the 2 years after AVR, 3 reoperations for prosthetic valve detachment were required. During hospitalization, he had no typical clinical findings, with the exception of a persistent inflammatory reaction; a pseudo-aneurysm around the Bentall graft developed 27 days after the 4th operation. This unique clinical course suggested the possibility of Behçet's disease. In the 8 years of follow-up after the administration of prednisolone, the pseudo-aneurysm did not become enlarged and the detachment of the prosthetic valve was not observed. We herein present a case of cardiovascular Behçet's disease, with a review of the literature.
