Surgical Repair of Unruptured Aneurysms in an Elderly Man with Takayasu's Arteritis / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

Unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare anomaly which may be acquired or congenital. We describe a case of a 64 year old man with aneurysms (left 31 mm, non 21 mm) of the coronary sinus. The Bentall operation was successfully performed and his postoperative course was uneventful. The histopathology of the aortic wall showed Takayasu's arteritis. Bentall surgery is a good choice for multiple aneurysms of the Valsalva sinus with aortitis.
