Giant coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm

چکیده
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 (CTA) showed a relatively thin neck, bilobed, and giant aneurysm originating from the anterior right side of sinus of Valsalva, which measured 9 × 5 cm in diameter. There was eccentric calcification on the aneurysm wall. The aneurysm impressed the right ventricle and atrium and minimally displaced RCA (Fig. 1). These findings were confirmed with the catheter angiography (Fig. 2). Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm (SVA) is a rare entity that is most frequently observed in the right sinus. Associated cardiac anomalies are observed in most cases such as ventricular septal defect. It is usually asymptomatic if unruptured. In cases with ruptured SVA, fatal complications can be observed. Endovascular or open surgery is the choice of treatment.

Bicuspid 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 کاملA 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.

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...

Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are very rare and mostly located in the right coronary sinus. They might course with dyspnea, fatigue, and acute coronary syndromes. We present herein an extremely rare case report of a 61-year-old woman diagnosed with external left main coronary compression by a giant aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva, which was successfully managed with percutaneous cor...
