Surgical treatment of aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva

T Tanabe, A Yokota and S Sugie

From 1962 to 1976, 15 patients with aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva underwent operative correction. All patients survived operation. Follow- up has been carried out for as long as fifteen years (median, six years) after operation. There have been no late deaths and no recurrences. Aortic insufficiency, present in 2 patients before and in 2 after operation, remained well compensated and required no further aortic valve procedure. A double approach, that is, through both the aorta and the involved cardiac chamber, is recommended for sufficient correction.
