We describe the case of a 53-year-old man with a severely stenotic bicuspid aortic valve combined with an unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva and an aberrant left coronary artery. The patient was successfully treated with aortic valve replacement and closure of the aneurysm. It is well known that patients with a bicuspid aortic valve have an increased incidence of other congenital anomalies, but the combination presented in our case is very rare.
我们描述了一名53岁男性的病例,其患有严重狭窄的二叶式主动脉瓣,合并未破裂的瓦尔萨尔瓦左窦瘤及左冠状动脉异常。该患者成功接受了主动脉瓣置换及瘤体闭合治疗。众所周知,二叶式主动脉瓣患者出现其他先天性异常的发生率增加,但我们病例中所呈现的这种组合非常罕见。
