If located in the right coronary sinus they are usually ruptured into right heart chambers and frequently a ventricular septal defect coexists with this condition. This paper reports a 30-year-old woman with ruptured aneurysm of the right sinus ...
متن کاملBicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
متن کاملGiant aneurysm of the Valsalva sinus associated with multiple coronary artery aneurysms and patent ductus arteriosus.
We report the case of a 42-year-old female referred to our institution for an incidental diagnosis of an aortic aneurysm. Multislice 64-CT angiography showed a giant aneurysm of the Valsalva sinus, which extended to all three coronary arteries, and multiple aneurysms along the entire length of the coronaryarteries (Panels A–C ). The Valsalva sinus aneurysm was eccentric, more pronounced near th...

Sinus of valsalva aneurysm, is a rare congenital defect and the diagnosis is usually made after it ruptures. The anomaly often involves the right coronary sinus and is less frequent in the noncoronary sinus. The rupture of the left sinus of valsalva into the pulmonary artery is extremely rare. So far, few cases with ruptured left sinus of valsalva have been reported. We are reporting a ruptur...
متن کاملCongenital aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva, diagnosed by aortography.
This paper contains a brief review of the cases, published earlier, of aneurysms of the sinuses of Valsalva, and a case is reported in which the diagnosis was made before rupture of the aneurysm by means of thoracic aortography. No reports are to be found in the literature of the diagnosis of unruptured aortic sinus aneurysms and of the associated clinical findings. Roentgenogramns, aortograms ...
