Özet

Ascending aortic aneurysm is very rare in children, and is usually seen in patients with underlying connective tissue disorders such as Marfans and Ehler-Danlos syndrome. Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is less commonly seen as a cause of ascending aortic aneurysms in children. In this case report, we describe pediatric Bentall procedure, which we successfully performed to a child with LDS (Type I) with giant ascending aortic enlargement and significant aortic regurgitation.
