Compared to mitral valve aneurysms, aortic valve (AV) aneurysm is a more rare and serious complication of infective endocarditis (IE). Early surgical intervention and valve replacement are required in order to prevent further complications such as embolization and rupture of aneurysm. We described a case of severe aortic regurgitation (AR) as a result of an aortic valve aneurysm in a patient with history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in whom the hemodialysis catheter had not been changed for a year.
