Abstract

Ascending aortic aneurysms are commonly associated with bicuspid aortic valves in adults but are rarely seen in childhood. We now report the management of an ascending aortic aneurysm in a 12-year-old male with an associated bicuspid aortic valve and a coarctation. (J Card Surg 2011;26:635-637)
