Closure of ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva using a native aortic valve leaflet.
2014
: We present a case of the native valve used to complete closure of a ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva. Aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is rare and a non-coronary artery is affected in only 20% of cases. To close the rupture, we decided to use a non-coronary leaflet in a young patient with moderate aortic stenosis and fibrosis of the leaflets. In our opinion, use of a native non-coronary valve leaflet should be considered when making intra-operative decisions for repair of non-coronary aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva.
