Unruptured congenital aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute right ventricular failure

S A D'Silva et al. Chest. 1992 Feb.

Abstract

A patient with unruptured congenital aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva presented with acute right-sided heart failure due to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The mechanism for such an acute presentation may have been a sudden increase in the size of the aneurysm. The surgical importance of this lesion is the combined aortocameral approach which is seldom required for correction of such aneurysms.
