A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is defined as a dilatation of the aortic sinuses, between the aortic valve annulus and the sinotubular junction. They are rare and most frequently involve the right coronary sinus. We report a case of an unruptured giant sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in a patient associated with ectasia of the left main stem and left anterior descending coronary artery. The patient was successfully treated with aortic root replacement using a biologic conduit.
瓦氏窦动脉瘤是指主动脉窦(主动脉瓣环和窦管交界处之间)的扩张。它们很少见,最常累及右冠状动脉窦。我们报告了一例未破裂的巨大瓦氏窦动脉瘤,患者同时伴有左主干和左前降支冠状动脉扩张。该患者成功地接受了使用生物瓣进行的主动脉根部置换术治疗。
