A Case of Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Associated With a Single Coronary Artery Successfully Treated by Bentall Surgery

We report a case of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm associated with a single coronary artery, incidentally detected in a 73-year-old woman. Imaging revealed a Lipton type L2-A single coronary artery and a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The patient underwent successful Bentall surgery with careful coronary reimplantation and combined antegrade-retrograde myocardial protection. This case highlights surgical considerations in managing this uncommon combination of anomalies. Clinical registration number: Because this was a single-patient case report and written informed consent for participation in medical research was obtained from the patient, institutional review board approval was waived in accordance with institutional policy.

Abstract

We report a case of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm associated with a single coronary artery, incidentally detected in a 73-year-old woman. Imaging revealed a Lipton type L2-A single coronary artery and a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The patient underwent successful Bentall surgery with careful coronary reimplantation and combined antegrade-retrograde myocardial protection. This case highlights surgical considerations in managing this uncommon combination of anomalies. Clinical registration number: Because this was a single-patient case report and written informed consent for participation in medical research was obtained from the patient, institutional review board approval was waived in accordance with institutional policy.
