Asymptomatic false aneurysm of the right coronary sinus treated by a reimplantation valve sparing technique.

چکیده
We describe the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with a false aneurysm of the right aortic coronary sinus, discovered after a routine medical examination. A complete resection of the aortic root and a reimplantation technique were performed. Herein, we describe the technical approach and immediate follow-up.

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 کاملThe left internal thoracic artery to bypass an abnormal circumflex artery arising from the right coronary sinus in a patient scheduled for root aneurysm.
Although classic valve-sparing root repair yields excellent results (survival at 10 years of 93.5%, freedom from structural valve deterioration at 10 years of 96.1% [1]), I agree with Siepe and colleagues [2] that extensive skeletonization of the aortic root might jeopardize an abnormal circumflex artery arising from the right coronary sinus and crossing the dorsal aspect of the annulus. I also...

متن کاملSinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: A Rare Cause of Dyspnea
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) is a rare clinical entity. Clinical manifestations can vary from an incidental finding on an imaging study to a life-threatening emergency. We report a case of a 51-year-old female with a large symptomatic left SOVA. Echocardiogram and computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the chest revealed marked dilatation of the left sinus of Valsalva, measuring 7.5 cm. ...
متن کاملFirst clinical results with the new sinus prosthesis used for valve-sparing aortic root replacement.
OBJECTIVES Sinuses of Valsalva are important in assuring the physiological function of the aortic valve. This study evaluates short-term clinical results of the reimplantation technique for aortic valve-sparing root replacement using a new prosthesis with three separate sinuses of Valsalva (sinus prosthesis). METHODS Between February 2009 and February 2011, a total of 23 patients (20 m/3 f; m...
