A giant compressive non coronary Valsalva sinus aneurysm

Giant coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm

A 29-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with nonspecific chest pain and dyspnea. Physical examination revealed systolic murmur. Laboratory findings were unremarkable. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a cystic mass adjacent to the right atrium and ascending aorta that was believed to be a large aneurysm of right coronary artery (RCA). Coronary computed tomography angiography (CT...

A Giant Unruptured Right Coronary Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm

There have been few case reports on giant sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA). We report a case of a giant unruptured right coronary SVA that was confused with a pericardial cyst by transthoracic echocardiography.

Giant unruptured noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.

Huge unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms is rarely observed. We report a 32-year-old woman presenting with exertional dyspnea in which a giant unruptured noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was detected after echocardiography. The aneurysm was surgically repaired and the aortic and mitral valves were replaced.

Fig. 1. (A) CT scan image. CT scan shows giant non-coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with neighbouring structures. Arrows indicate closed aortic valves. Ao: aorta, NC-SVA: non-coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, LV: left ventricle, PA: pulmonary artery. (B) TEE image. Trans-oesophageal echocardiography shows aortic cusps level image of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. *Arrows show aortic cusps, *...
