  • Title: Acute myocardial infarction due to unruptured aneurysm of left sinus of valsalva with aortic valve regurgitation.
    Author: Shin JK, Jung JP, Park CR, Lee SG, Shin ES, Kim SJ, Choi SH.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2005; 20(6):545-8. PubMed ID: 16309407.
    Abstract:
    This report describes a 35-year-old woman with unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva presenting as non-ST elevation myocardial infarction due to the compression of the left coronary artery by aneurysm. Cardiac multislice CT and angiogram revealed a large aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva compressing the left main coronary artery. Surgical repair was performed by closing the entrance of the aneurysm and aortic valve replacement. Postoperative coronary flow was restored and thus anginal symptom disappeared.
