We reported a case of ankylosing spondylitis which successfully underwent aortic valve replacement for combined aortic and mitral regurgitation. A 42-year-old man was admitted with symptoms of shortness of breath and anginal pain. He was previously diagnosed ankylosing spondylitis by an orthopedician A grade III/VI to and fro murmur was audible at the left sternal border. Retrograde aortography revealed severe aortic regurgitation and mild mitral regurgitation. Cardiac catheterization showed moderately pulmonary hypertension and high pulmonary artery wedge pressure. He underwent aortic valve replacement with SJM prosthetic valve. His postoperative course was uneventful. In Japan, ankylosing spondylitis is rare disease, and cardiac lesions associated with these conditions is seldom met to us. The surgical problems and management of these lesions are discussed.

We reported a case of ankylosing spondylitis who successfully underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for unstable angina pectoris. A 67-year-old man was admitted with symptom of anginal pain. Selective coronary angiography revealed coronary artery stenoses; 90% in seg 6, 90% in seg 11, proximal 75%, distal 90% in seg 3, 99% in 4 PD and 99% with delay in 4 AV. The left internal thoracic artery was anastomosed to seg 7 and saphenous vein (SVG) to PL-2, PL-1 sequentially, and another SVG to 4 PD. His postoperative course was uneventful. Cardiac lesions accompanied by ankylosing spondylitis are rare in Japan. Perioperative problems of these lesions therefore, are discussed.
