Giant unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with complete heart block.

ABSTRACT: In this rare case report of giant unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA), a 17-year-old male presented with sudden onset syncope due to complete heart block (CHB). An emergency evaluation was done with the help of transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization with support of temporary pacemaker. The obvious distorting effects of a giant SOVA dissecting into interventricular septum were CHB, significant regurgitation of tricuspid and mitral valve, mild regurgitation aortic valve and biventricular dysfunction. The case was treated by repair of SOVA and posterior mitral ring annuloplasty. CHB improved to sinus rhythm on 11th day after surgery. On follow-up, tricuspid valve regurgitation improved to mild regurgitation and he continued to have mild aortic regurgitation. .

Giant unruptured aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute coronary syndrome: a case report.

Project description:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that can be congenital or acquired. Unruptured aneurysms may be asymptomatic but can present as malignant arrhythmias, acute chest pain, and even sudden cardiac death. Both ruptured and unruptured SVAs may have fatal complications, thus prompt diagnosis and surgery is critical. We report a successful surgical repair of an unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography (CAG) and cardiac multislice computed tomography (CT) revealed a large unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva. Surgical repair was performed by resection of the aneurysm, aortic valve replacement with composite graft, and coronary artery bypass. Aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva is an extremely rare condition. Correct diagnosis can be done by echocardiography, CAG, or CT. Non-ruptured aneurysms should be surgically repaired if they are associated with significant symptoms or if their size enlarge rapidly.

Case Report: Extrinsic Compression of the Left Main Coronary Artery by a Giant Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm.

Project description:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SoVA) is an uncommon clinical entity, which is present in roughly 0. 09% of the general population. The cause can either be acquired or congenital. Clinically the SoVA of unruptured status are rarely captured or even diagnosed due to atypical clinical presentations. Here, we present a rare case of exertional angina pectoris and recurrent syncope due to an extrinsically compressed left coronary artery by a giant SoVA in a 50-year-old female patient. This SoVA was successfully repaired by the surgical exclusion and the patient was still doing well after 2 years of follow-up.

Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: A Rare Cause of Dyspnea.

Project description:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) is a rare clinical entity. Clinical manifestations can vary from an incidental finding on an imaging study to a life-threatening emergency. We report a case of a 51-year-old female with a large symptomatic left SOVA. Echocardiogram and computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the chest revealed marked dilatation of the left sinus of Valsalva, measuring 7.5 cm. This resulted in superior displacement of the left main coronary artery. Surgical repair of the aneurysm with reimplantation of the right and left coronary arteries was performed in addition to aortic valve replacement (Bentall procedure). The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and remains asymptomatic at the three-month follow-up visit.

Transthoracic echocardiography versus transesophageal echocardiography for rupture sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.

Project description:We report a rare case of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm of both right and left coronary sinus (LCS), with perforation of the LCS opening into the left ventricle. The LCS aneurysm with its perforation was undiagnosed on transthoracic echocardiography emphasizing the role of transesophageal echocardiography in delineating the anatomy.

Echocardiographic diagnosis of rare pathological patterns of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the value and improve the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiography in the diagnosis of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) with rare pathological patterns.MethodsEchocardiographic features and surgical findings from 270 Chinese patients with SVA treated in the last 18 years (1995-2013) at the Union Hospital were compared retrospectively; 22 of 270 cases had rare patterns.ResultsThe patients with SVA, a rare origin, a rare extending position, or a rare course accounted for 3.4%, 7.4%, and 0.4% of the 270 cases, respectively. The three most common aneurysmal complications of the patients with rare patterns were severe aortic regurgitation (16), obstruction of the ventricular outflow tract or valvular orifice (3), and conduction disturbance (3). The origin, course, extending position and rupture status of the SVAs determined by echocardiography were entirely consistent with surgical findings in 81.8% of the 22 cases. With the exception of one failed diagnosis of an aneurysmal wall dissection and one misdiagnosis of a descending aortic dissection, the echocardiographic results of SVA complications and associated cardiovascular lesions were also confirmed.ConclusionWe could accurately diagnose SVAs with rare pathological patterns by echocardiographic identification of distinguishing features. However, for several conditions, we could not accurately identify the origin or course of the aneurysm or define its relationship to adjacent structures using conventional echocardiography alone. Therefore, we recommend combining conventional echocardiography with different imaging techniques, such as transesophageal echocardiography, three-dimensional echocardiography, computed tomography angiography, and aortic angiography.

Traumatic sinus of valsalva aneurysm repaired by partial david operation.

Project description:We report a case of chronic type A dissection and aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva after a motor bike accident which remained undetected for 20 years. It was successfully treated with a modified valve-preserving technique. The noncoronary sinus formed a 4.5 × 5.0 cm large and heavily calcified aneurysm, compressing the right atrium and right coronary artery. The pathology was limited to the noncoronary sinus area and here was the annulus dilatated but the remaining sinuses and annulus and the cusps were intact. We have therefore performed a one-third or partial-David procedure with a satisfactory result.
