Partial root remodelling for treatment of a giant isolated right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm

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 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...

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.

Ruptured Right Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm*

he presence of rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm can be clinically suspected when an abrupt onset of congestive heart failure is accompanied by a continuous murmur, evidence of right and left ventricular volume overload, and bounding peripheral pulses. Classically, the diagnosis has been confirmed by angiography, but several reports ruggest that M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography...
