Ascending aortic aneurysms are rare in children and may lead to aortic insufficiency, dissection, and/or rupture. We present a 5‐year‐old child diagnosed with an ascending aortic aneurysm and severe aortic insufficiency, successfully treated with ascending aortic replacement with an aortic valve repair using a bicuspidation technique.
