Abstract
The Horse Shoe Kidney (HSK) is one of the most common congenital malformation of lower poles fusion of kidneys. Despite, HSK is relatively seen with a high incidence of 0.15-0.33%, accompanying with Ascending Aorta Aneurysm is rarely seen. Here, we present the first case to our knowledge that accompanying Ascending Aorta Aneurysm to Horse Shoe Kidney.

Summary
The Horse Shoe Kidney (HSK) is one of the most common congenital malformation of lower poles fusion of kidneys [1]. The coincidence of HSK and an ascending aortic aneurysm (AsAA) is rarely seen. We report the first case of incidental HSK in a patient underwent Bentall procedure due to Ascending Aorta Aneurysm (AsAA). A 65-year-old male was presented with dyspnea (New York Heart Association Functional Class II-III). Computed tomography angiography (CTA) scanning showed an AsAA measuring 55 mm with no other aneurysms elsewhere and a coexistent. HSK with a lower pole fusion (Figure 1a, 1b). Aortic root and aortic valve were replaced with 23 No valve (St. Jude Medical Inc. St Paul, MN, USA) and 28 No Dacron graft by performing Bentall procedure (Figure 1c,1d). Six months later he was doing well with stable vital signs
