García-López, Erwin E; Soule-Egea, Mauricio; Santibáñez-Escobar, Felipe; Hernández-Mejía, Benjamin I
ABSTRACT
The sinuses of Valsalva are subtle dilatations of the ascending aorta that correspond to the portion of the left ventricular outflow tract located between the aortic valve annulus and the sinotubular junction. We present a case of a right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm associated with ischemic cardiomyopathy, characterized by a 15-year history of cardiovascular symptoms, which prompted referral to our center in January 2024 following the incidental discovery of a cardiac murmur during a preoperative evaluation. The etiology, anatomy, histology, and diagnostic and surgical treatment guidelines for this condition are discussed.
