Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is rare, but well-described congenital malformation in adults. Although aortic root and ascending aortic aneurysms can develop in unicommissural UAV, coexistence with left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an unusual event. Surgical correction is necessary to relieve left ventricular outflow tract obstruction associated with aortic stenosis in unicuspid aortic valve, and to decrease the substantial risk of impending rupture of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
单瓣主动脉瓣(UAV)在成人中较为罕见,但却是一种描述明确的先天性畸形。虽然单瓣主动脉瓣可能会出现主动脉根部和升主动脉瘤,但合并左窦 Valsalva 瘤较为罕见。对于单瓣主动脉瓣,需要进行手术矫正以解除与主动脉瓣狭窄相关的左心室流出道梗阻,并降低窦 Valsalva 瘤破裂的巨大风险。
