    Author: Abu Saleh WK, Lin CH, Reardon MJ, Ramlawi B.
    Journal: Tex Heart Inst J; 2016 Aug; 43(4):357-9. PubMed ID: 27547152.
    Abstract:
    Isolated sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare occurrence, with an incidence of <1.5% among congenital heart disease repairs in the world. We recount the case of a 64-year-old man who presented with right-sided heart failure symptoms caused by a severely dilated right coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm that substantially obstructed the right ventricular outflow tract. Successful surgical repair involved right ventricular outflow tract resection and subcoronary patch repair.
