  • Title: [Surgically treated unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm: a case report].
    Author: Fukui T, Takada J, Kitaoka H, Matsumura Y, Hitomi N, Seo H, Chikamori T, Doi Y.
    Journal: J Cardiol; 1997; 29 Suppl 2():67-71. PubMed ID: 9211105.
    Abstract:
    A 73-year-old man was admitted because of progressive dyspnea. Echocardiography revealed a markedly dilated right sinus of Valsalva and severe aortic regurgitation. Coaptation loss of the aortic valve leaflets was thought to be the cause of regurgitation and congestive heart failure, a rare complication of the unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. Surgical treatment should be considered to prevent life-threatening heart failure and rupture of the aneurysm even in patients without overt heart failure.
