Abstract
A 56-YEAR-OLD woman with a 4.8-cm sinus of Valsalva aneurysm presented to the authors' institution for repair. She initially had presented at an outside hospital with the chief complaint of chest pain. Myocardial ischemia and infarct were excluded. A cardiac catheterization revealed normal coronary arteries. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed an aortic root aneurysm located at the right coronary sinus of Valsalva (Fig 1). She underwent a transthoracic echochocardiogram (TTE) that confirmed these findings.
