Congenital aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva. Report of a patient with 19-year survival without surgery

LW Martin, I Hsu, H Schwartz and AG Wasserman

An unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva was diagnosed by angiography in a 16-year-old male subject 19 years ago. A recent repeated angiographic study documented no change in the aneurysm over the 19-year interval, and the patient has remained asymptomatic. We are aware of no other long-term follow-up reports of patients with this lesion who have not had surgical correction. This case emphasizes the controversy regarding the need for prophylactic surgical correction of an unruptured aneurysm.
