(A) Preoperative invasive angiography demonstrates an aortic root of normal diameter. (B, C) Computed tomography (CT) and (D) 3-dimensional reconstruction of CT scan performed 9 years after bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement shows a giant isolated aortic root aneurysm (red asterisk).

A computed tomography (CT) scan (Figure 1 B-D) of the thoracic aorta was performed for further evaluation, revealing an isolated aneurysm of the aortic root measuring 7.6 x 5.1 cm at the sinus of Valsalva, with normal dimensions of the sinotubular junction, ascending aorta, and distal thoracic aorta.
