Abstract

Though the incidence of aneurysms involving the aortic root and/or ascending aorta is common, the combination of aortic root aneurysm and the right atrial clot is extremely rare. No such case is reported in literature till date. This case report presents a 52-year gentleman who came to our emergency department with complaints of breathlessness, abdominal distention, pedal swelling, and decreased urine output with extremely poor general condition. After hemodynamic stabilization and preoperative optimization and workup, he was managed with Bentall procedure with right atrial clot removal. The immediate postoperative course was normal except for deranged liver function tests. The patient was discharged on postoperative day ten.
