An aneurysm of a single sinus of Valsalva is rare. It is usually asymptomatic and rarely discovered, unless it compresses the adjacent cardiac structures, or it presents in association with other pathology. We herein describe a case of a male, with known ischemic heart disease, collapsing after sudden back pain. A computed tomography scan demonstrated an aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva. The surgical repair aimed to exclude the aneurysm, preserving and reconstructing the aortic root.
单个瓦尔萨尔瓦窦动脉瘤很少见。它通常无症状,很少被发现,除非它压迫相邻的心脏结构,或者与其他病变同时出现。我们在此描述一例已知患有缺血性心脏病的男性患者,在突发背痛后晕倒。计算机断层扫描显示为右瓦尔萨尔瓦窦动脉瘤。手术修复旨在排除动脉瘤,保留并重建主动脉根部。
