J Card Surg. 2009 May-Jun;24(3):351-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8191.2008.00777.x.

Abstract

Huge unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms is rarely observed. We report a 32-year-old woman presenting with exertional dyspnea in which a giant unruptured noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was detected after echocardiography. The aneurysm was surgically repaired and the aortic and mitral valves were replaced.
