Abstract
This paper will report the case of a patient with an aneurysm of Valsalva's sinus accompanied by single coronary artery (the presence of only a single ostium of the coronary arteries), who survived for 14 years, under conservative treatment, after a rupture of the aneurysm. In this patient the aneurysm of Valsalva's sinus ruptured from the right coronary sinus into the right ventricular outflow tract. The single coronary artery originated from the left coronary sinus, and the right coronary artery branched from the left main trunk and ran dorsally to the aorta. No case of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva's sinus accompanied by a single coronary artery has been reported in the literature. After 14 years of conservative treatment, the patient was surgically treated by direct suture of the ruptured aneurysm and by aortic valve replacement. The postoperative course was uneventful.
