Syphilitic aortitis can cause coronary ostial stenosis. Successful treatment involved bypass surgery and penicillin, with no ischemia signs at follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Syphilology

Background:

  • Syphilitic aortitis is a rare cardiovascular complication of late-stage syphilis.
  • Coronary ostial stenosis can lead to myocardial ischemia and infarction.

Observation:

  • A 40-year-old male presented with syphilitic aortitis.
  • The condition was complicated by bilateral coronary ostial stenosis.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting.
  • A treatment regimen included penicillin.
  • A 3-month follow-up exercise stress test showed no evidence of myocardial ischemia.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering syphilitic aortitis in the differential diagnosis of aortic disease.
