Key result
Marker-negative aortitis syndrome associated with progressive aortic regurgitation requiring AVR 9 months post-CABG.
Why the study?
Aortitis syndrome activity is typically monitored by ESR and CRP, but rapid vascular lesions and progressive aortic valve regurgitation can occur despite negative findings for these markers.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the potential for rapid progression of vascular and valvular lesions in aortitis syndrome even when traditional inflammatory markers like CRP and ESR are negative.
Rapid AR progression may occur post-CABG in aortitis despite negative markers; leaves open whether intensified surveillance improves outcomes.

Mukaihara et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Aortitis syndrome (Takayasu arteritis) with acute myocardial infarction and progressive aortic regurgitation (n=1). Coronary artery bypass grafting followed by aortic valve replacement and re-CABG was evaluated on Clinical course and survival. A 55-year-old woman with aortitis syndrome and negative inflammatory markers developed early progressive aortic regurgitation 9 months after initial CABG, requiring aortic valve replacement.
