  • Title: Partial root remodelling for treatment of a giant isolated right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
    Author: Hashimoto M, Doi H, Koshima R, Sumino S.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2017 May 01; 51(5):1012-1014. PubMed ID: 28043991.
    Abstract:
    Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are rare cardiac abnormalities that may be congenital or acquired. Patch closure or direct closure of the aneurysm orifice is a frequently performed surgical repair strategy. In this report, we present a rare case of an isolated giant right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with aortic insufficiency and right coronary artery obstruction. We treated this patient by a valve-sparing aortic root remodelling procedure with partial preservation of the intact Valsalva sinuses and coronary artery bypass grafting with a favourable outcome.
