A rare case of unruptured extracardiac multiple sinus of Valsalva aneurysms originating from the orifices with partial aortic wall defects

摘要

BackgroundSinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is relatively rare and commonly reported as a congenital anomaly. It is usually found in a single Valsalva sinus protruding into another cardiac chamber and is termed as intracardiac SVA. The aneurysm usually originates from the Valsalva sinus itself, and an orifice of the aneurysm is observed surrounded by the aortic wall. Thus, extracardiac multiple SVAs originating from the orifices with partial aortic wall defects are extremely rare. We report a very rare case of unruptured extracardiac SVAs in both left and right coronary sinuses originating from the aortic annulus.
