Introduction
Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm (SVA) is an uncommon cardiovascular disease.
An unruptured SVA is asymptomatic and mostly located in the right
coronary sinus.1–5 Left SVAs are rare and often
symptomatic because of a left coronary event, such as acute coronary
syndrome.6–9 In many cases, patch closure, root
replacement with aortic valve replacement, or valve-sparing procedures
are performed for the management of SVAs.
Here, we describe the case of an asymptomatic unruptured large left SVA
that was successfully managed with patch repair and coronary artery
bypass grafting.
