We reported a case of an aortic regurgitation due to nonpenetrating chest trauma with an ascending aortic aneurysm. A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with an acute left cardiac failure. Severe aortic regurgitation and ascending aortic aneurysm were diagnosed on ultrasonic echocardiography (UCG) and computed tomography (CT) scan. On the 13th day after the injury, semi-emergency operation was done. The commissure between the right coronary and non-coronary cups was torn, and modified Bentall operation was performed. The patient recovered well and discharged uneventfully.
