Combined Treatment for Unusual Behcet's Disease Influencing the Autograft in the Ross Procedure.

ABSTRACT: We report an unusual case of Behçet's disease possibly induced by surgical invasion, resulting in a recurrent pseudoaneurysm at the aortic root leading to the inflammation of the autograft of a Ross procedure. The diagnosis was challenging because of clinical presentations that resembled infectious endocarditis, however, effective surgical treatment was achieved with perioperative anti-inflammatory therapy.
