Abstract
Saccular aortic aneurysm arising in the ductal region, known as ductus diverticulum aneurysm, is a rare anomaly, Due to potentially malignan t evolution, recognition of radiological signs associated with this an omaly during the asymptomatic phase may be important in order to plan surgical intervention in time. We report an unusual case of ductus div erticulum aneurysm combined with bicuspid aortic valve, dilatation of ascending aorta, and coronary artery disease.
