  • Title: Fistula of the sinus of Valsalva.
    Author: Sanchez HE, Barnard CN, Barnard MS.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1977 Jun; 73(6):877-9. PubMed ID: 859353.
    Abstract:
    Operative repair of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms and fistulas was performed in 10 patients between 1960 and 1976. Associated cardiac defects were corrected in 6 patients. There were no postoperative deaths, and the 8 patients observed to date are still alive and well. Only 2 patients required a second operation. The employment of a transchanber or a transaortic approach or both continues to be a matter of individual preference.
