Isolated sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare congenital pathology associated with a life-threatening course when untreated. In this article, we report a 60-year-old male patient with an isolated aneurysm of right sinus of Valsalva treated by modified Bentall procedure. The patient with cardiac symptoms applied to our clinic for further evaluation. Enhanced computed tomographic angiography and transthoracic echocardiography revealed an isolated aneurysm of right sinus of Valsalva. An optimal management for the condition is not clear, while early surgical intervention is recommended due to potentially life-threatening complications.
孤立性瓦氏窦瘤是一种罕见的先天性病变,若不治疗会导致危及生命的病程。在本文中,我们报告了一名60岁男性患者,其患有孤立性右瓦氏窦瘤,接受了改良Bentall手术治疗。该患者因心脏症状前来我们诊所进行进一步评估。增强计算机断层血管造影和经胸超声心动图显示为孤立性右瓦氏窦瘤。目前对于该病症的最佳治疗方法尚不清楚,不过鉴于可能出现危及生命的并发症,建议尽早进行手术干预。
