Abstract

A case of aortic valve replacement after 16 years from the repair of ruptured sinus valsalva aneurysm (RSVA) was reported. The patient has undergone direct closure of RSVA with VSD type I at 34 years old. At the operation, no attempt was made as to aortic valve regurgitation because of small regurgitation, Selloers 1 on aortography. At 50 years old, he developed dyspnea on exertion, to-and-fro murmur due to aortic valve regurgitation, Selloers 3. Aortic valve replacement, we confirmed the completely closure of right coronary sinus valsalva, and histopathologically observed the degenerative change of only right coronary cusp.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
