Background—We developed autologous prosthetic implants by simple and safe in-body tissue architecture technology. We present the first report on the development of autologous valved conduit with the sinus of Valsalva (BIOVALVE) by using this unique technology and its subsequent implantation in the pulmonary valves in a beagle model. Methods and Results—A mold of BIOVALVE organization was assemb...

Once presented in 2011 by Dayi SU et al. our case is a 30-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome who had undergone aortic valve replacement due to severe aortic regurgitation secondary to dilatation of the aortic root in 2000 and supracoronary aortic replacement due to Stanford type A dissection in 2002 with subsequent dilatation of sinus of Valsalva. When described by Dayi SU et al. the size of t...

PATIENT Male, 23 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) Symptoms: Chest pain • low O2 saturation • short of breath MEDICATION - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Cardiology. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND Sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly. It may be congenital or acquired; a coexisting cardiac lesion might be present. Rupture of the aneurysm, where i...

This paper contains a brief review of the cases, published earlier, of aneurysms of the sinuses of Valsalva, and a case is reported in which the diagnosis was made before rupture of the aneurysm by means of thoracic aortography. No reports are to be found in the literature of the diagnosis of unruptured aortic sinus aneurysms and of the associated clinical findings. Roentgenogramns, aortograms ...

A large intraluminal thrombus within an otherwise normal sinus of Valsalva was diagnosed in a 41 year old man who was investigated for myocardial infarction. The thrombus was suspected by aortic root injection, confirmed by transoesophageal echocardiography, and treated surgically.

A 29-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with nonspecific chest pain and dyspnea. Physical examination revealed systolic murmur. Laboratory findings were unremarkable. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a cystic mass adjacent to the right atrium and ascending aorta that was believed to be a large aneurysm of right coronary artery (RCA). Coronary computed tomography angiography (CT...

BACKGROUND Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) may be congenital or acquired. They could mimic ventricular tumor symptoms and cause signs and symptoms of ventricular outflow tract obstruction. They may also involve the conduction system and cause palpitations or syncopal episodes. Both transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) serve as quick, noninvasive metho...
