[Surgically treated unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm: a case report]
Abstract:
A 73-year-old man was admitted because of progressive dyspnea. Echocardiography revealed a markedly dilated right sinus of Valsalva and severe aortic regurgitation. Coaptation loss of the aortic valve leaflets was thought to be the cause of regurgitation and congestive heart failure, a rare complication of the unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. Surgical treatment should be considered to prevent life-threatening heart failure and rupture of the aneurysm even in patients without overt heart failure.
