This report describes a case of multiply СAE presenting as a ST-elevation myocardial infarction in an adult patient with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and ascending aortic aneurysm. Coronary angiography revealed multiply ectasia in left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery. A computer tomographic aortogram confirmed the presence BAV with signs of calcification and an enlarged ascending aorta. The patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting of left descending and circumflex coronary arteries and tube graft replacement of ascending aorta in 1 month after ACS in experienced centre.
