A case demonstrating compression of the right ventricular outflow tract by an unruptured coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in which repair resulted in symptomatic improvement is presented. The pathology report revealed that the patient's younger brother had died from a ruptured aneurysm of the coronary sinus of Valsalva. The present report is the first to describe a familial unruptured coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm raising questions regarding the screening of relatives of patients with sinus of Valsalva aneurysms of unknown etiology.
本文报道了一例由未破裂的瓦氏窦冠状动脉瘤压迫右心室流出道,经修复后症状改善的病例。病理报告显示,患者的弟弟死于瓦氏窦冠状动脉瘤破裂。本报告首次描述了家族性未破裂的瓦氏窦冠状动脉瘤,这引发了对于病因不明的瓦氏窦动脉瘤患者亲属筛查问题的思考。
