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.
