Abstract:
A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that may remain silent until rupture, often leading to acute heart failure. Surgical intervention is advised for unruptured SVAs when large, progressive, or associated with aortic regurgitation (AR). We report a 72-year-old woman with a 25-mm right coronary SVA and severe symptomatic AR. Transthoracic echocardiography confirmed severe AR with preserved ventricular function. A Bentall procedure using a bioprosthetic valve and Valsalva graft was performed, with coronary button reimplantation with the Carrel patch technique. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remained free of recurrence at 2-year follow-up. This case highlights the Bentall procedure as a durable option for unruptured SVA with root distortion and valve involvement, offering reliable prevention of late AR and reintervention.

Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...
