Successful repair of unruptured aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva

Ann Thorac Surg. 2008 Aug;86(2):640-3. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2008.01.081.

Abstract

Patch closure of the orifice of an aneurysm is a common operation for sinus of Valsalva aneurysms. Recently, there have been reports of aortic valve-sparing operations for multisinus of Valsalva aneurysms. However, repair would be difficult if only one sinus of Valsalva was dilated. We report a patient with a single unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm successfully treated using the patch repair technique.
