          Sinus of valsalva aneurysms: review of the literature and an update on management.

          Michael Weinreich, Pey-Jen Yu, Biana Trost (2015)
          Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA), a congenital or acquired cardiac defect that is present in roughly 0.09% of the general population, often presents as an incidental finding during cardiac imaging. Although an echocardiogram is the standard imaging technique for such findings, cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has been increasingly utilized. If SOVA is diagnosed, CCTA is also a useful test for patients who are at low to intermediate risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) prior to surgical repair. CCTA can accurately rule out CAD, obviating the need for invasive angiography in most cases, which may be more risky in SOVA patients because their coronaries may be more difficult to engage and their aortic root may be more prone to injury. Although surgery has previously been the treatment of choice, transcatheter techniques have added to the spectrum of nonsurgical alternatives for repair. We report here 4 incidental SOVA cases and review the current literature.

            Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms--47 years of a single center experience and systematic overview of published reports.

            G. Adam, Sherif Moustafa, Leslie Cooper … (2007)
            A retrospective study was undertaken to review demographic data, clinical presentation, outcomes, and long-term results of surgical repair of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SVAs). SVAs are a rare anomaly. Surgery is the treatment of choice. A retrospective review of an institutional database identified 86 patients who underwent SVA repair from 1956 to 2003. Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 40 years. The median age was 45 years (range 5 to 80). Approximately 44% of the patients had associated aortic regurgitation. Ruptures occurred in 34% of patients. The predominant fistula was from the right sinus of Valsalva to the right ventricle. Most (65%) were diagnosed by echocardiography, and the remaining (35%) were diagnosed on cardiac catheterization. All subjects underwent SVA repair. Seventy-two patients (84%) underwent other cardiac procedures at the time of aneurysm repair. Six patients (7%) died perioperatively, and the actuarial 10-year survival rate was 63%. In conclusion, echocardiography is the most frequently used diagnostic tool. The most common site of the aneurysm was the right coronary sinus. The concomitant surgical repair of associated ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and the aortic valve is often required. Elective surgical repair can be performed with low risk.

              Surgical repair of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in Asian patients.

              G. Yuan, Wei Zou, Biao Wang … (2007)
              Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac anomaly, and the difference between Asian and Western countries in its occurrence is not well established. This study was designed to investigate the difference between Asian and Western patients. Between September 1988 and February 2006, 83 patients with sinus of Valsalva aneurysm underwent surgical repair in our institute. The aneurysms originated from the right and noncoronary sinus in 74 and 9, respectively, and ruptured into the right ventricle in 52 patients, the right atrium in 30, and the left ventricle in 1. Ventricular septal defect (n = 38), aortic regurgitation (n = 21), and bicuspid aortic valve (n = 4) were the common coexisting anomalies. To compare the differences between Asian and Western patients in sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, 1049 cases (654 Asian patients versus 395 Western) were collected from the literature. Sixty-six patients were followed up for 9.6 +/- 3.8 years. The cardiac function of 15 patients with aortic regurgitation was worse than that of those with no aortic regurgitation (p 0.05). Analysis of all collected cases revealed that aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva in Asian patients compared with Western series is characterized by a higher incidence, more aneurysms originating from the right coronary sinus (85.8% versus 67.9%), more aneurysm rupture into the right ventricle (72.5% versus 60%), a higher incidence of association with ventricular septal defect (52.4% versus 37.5%), and lower incidence of association with bicuspid aortic valve (0.6% versus 7.8%). However, both Asian and Western patient series have similar incidence of combination with aortic regurgitation (33.6% versus 32.7%). Long-term results of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm are associated with preoperative aortic regurgitation. The difference between Asian and Western patients with ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is significant.
