          Abstract

          We present a rare case of a 74 year old female with unruptured aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva accompanied with patent foramen ovale and atrial fibrillation. This rare combination was detected during diagnostics for a cardiac etiology stroke. The left coronary sinus of Valsalva was reconstructed using an autologous pericardial patch, the left atrial appendage closed, left atrial ablation performed with cooled radiofrequency and the patent foramen ovale sutured directly. The patient was dismissed on the 12th postoperative day after having an uncomplicated postoperative course.

          Unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of valsalva causing coronary insufficiency: case report and review of the literature.

          Flavio Scarano, Mario Iannetti, E Parodi … (2001)
          Aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva is extremely rare. Compression of the left coronary artery by such an aneurysm is an unusual complication of this condition and can cause coronary insufficiency. We describe the case of a 75-year-old woman who had an isolated unruptured aneurysm of the left coronary sinus with intraluminal thrombus, which caused coronary artery compression. We performed successful surgical correction by closing the mouth of the aneurysm without aortic valve replacement or coronary artery bypass grafting. A review of the world medical literature revealed 19 cases of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms that hindered the coronary arterial flow. The previously published reports of this rare condition and its treatment are discussed herein.

            A 32-year experience with surgical repair of sinus of valsalva aneurysms.

            James Harkness, Torin P Fitton, Chris J Barreiro … (2015)
            Sinus of Valsalva (SoV) aneurysms are rare (0.15% to 1.5% CPB cases) and five times more frequent in Asians. Usually congenital, SoV aneurysms arise from the right or noncoronary sinus, are associated with other cardiac defects, and are repaired primarily or with a patch. Acquired SoV aneuryms develop secondary to infection or trauma. Here, we describe our 32-year experience with SoV aneurysm repair in a Western population. A retrospective review identified 22 patients who underwent SoV aneurysm repair between 1971 and 2003. Data is presented as mean +/- standard error (median). Dyspnea was the most common presenting symptom. Nineteen of 22 patients were ruptured at the time of operation; three were found incidentally. Fifteen patients had associated cardiac defects including ventricular septal defect (VSD) (6), aortic insufficiency (6), and coarctation (3). One patient, repaired primarily, required reoperation for recurrence. All other patients underwent patch repair. The operative survival was 95% (21/22). There were five known late deaths at 6.6 +/- 2.3 (5.7) years post-repair. Five and ten year survival rates were 84.9 +/- 11% and 59.4 +/- 17%, respectively. Observed differences in the sinus of origin, age at presentation, associated cardiac malformations, and mortality in our Western series versus previous Asian cohort studies likely reflect a racial disparity and higher prevalence of acquired versus congenital SoV aneurysms. We recommend a thorough search for a VSD in all cases and use of patch repair, regardless of size, to reduce risk of recurrence.

              Unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm presenting as acute coronary syndrome.

              Tom Vermeulen, Marc Claeys, Christiaan J.M. Vrints (2006)
              Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an infrequent cardiac anomaly. In the United States, it accounts for only 0.15 to 1.5% of all cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms can be acquired, secondary to infectious, degenerative or traumatic processes. This paper describes the case report of an 81-year-old woman, with an unruptured aneurysm of the right Valsalva sinus, who was admitted to the emergency department with a history of chest pain. After surgical repair of the sinus ofValsalva aneurysm, the prognosis is usually good, and the risk of recurrence is rare.
