	eMedicine - Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm : Article Excerpt by: Edward J Bayne, MD
		Acquired aneurysmal dilatation of the sinuses of Valsalva may occur because of Marfan Syndrome, syphilitic aortitis, or as a function of aging.
		Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is associated with a ventricular septal defect in approximately 40% of patients.
		Aneurysms most often involve the right aortic sinus (67-85% of patients, often associated with a supracristal ventricular septal defect), followed by the noncoronary sinus, while an aneurysm of the left sinus is rare.

		Aneurysms most commonly occur in the arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and in the aorta (the main artery coming out of the heart) - this is an aortic aneurysm.
		A true aneurysm involves an outpouching of all three layers of a blood vessel: the intima, the media, and the adventitia.
		While most aneurysms occur in an isolated form, the occurrence of berry aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery of the circle of Willis is associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

	Aneurysm Guide
		Aneurysms most commonly occur in the arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and in the aorta (the main artery coming out of the heart) - this is an aortic aneurysm.
		Aneurysms are also described according to their shape: Saccular or fusiform.
		For aortic aneurysms or aneurysms that happen in the vessels that supply blood to the arms, legs, and head (the peripheral vessels), surgery involves replacing the weakened section of the vessel with an artificial tube, called a graft.

	Aneurysm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An aneurysm (or aneurism) is a localized dilation or ballooning of a blood vessel by more than 50% of the diameter of the vessel and can lead to instant death.
		Aneurysms occur in the legs also, particularly in the deep vessels (e.g., the popliteal vessels in the knee).
		Aneurysms are a potential complication of Marfan syndrome.

	Aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva
		Congenital sinus Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare anomaly and the least common of all aortic aneurysms.
		Rupture of right sinus aneurysms occurs into the right atrium or right ventricle, that of the non coronary sinus into the right atrium, both ruptures producing a left-to-right-shunt.
		Ruptured aneurysms from the left sinus are rarely observed; however, when it happens, then rupture occurs into the left atrium or left ventricle or into the pericardial space.

	Aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva
		'Aneurysm of the aortic sinus', also known as the sinus of Valsalva, is comparatively rare, occurring in about one person in every thousand.
		This type of aneurysm is typically congenital and may be associated with heart defects.
		The determination to perform surgery is usually based upon the diameter of the aortic root and the rate of increase in its size, as determined through repeated echocardiography.

	Diagnosis and surgical treatment of ruptured aneurysm in sinus of Valsalva
		Methods Thirty-seven hospitalized patients with ruptured aneurysms in the sinus of Valsalva from September 1981 to April 2001, including 21 cases (56.7%) of RASV associated with ventricular septal defects (VSD) and 11 (29.7%) with aortic valvular prolapse were given surgical interventions.
		Once the aneurysm sac was cut symmetrically to expose the terminal opening edge of the fistula, we resected the sac wall 3-4 mm away from the edge.
		A ruptured aneurysm in the Valsalva sinus usually produces serious hemodynamic changes, especially when the occurrence is sudden; this event is almost always followed by congestive cardiac dysfunction, cardiac shock or even sudden death.Therefore, diagnosis of RASV should be made immediately and correctly, followed by surgical treatment if the patient's condition permits.

		An aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is an unusual cause of a thromboembolic cerebrovascular accident.
		The aneurysm was intraoperatively found to have formed on the superior surface of the site of aortotomy suture placed during previous repair of rupture of the sinus of Valsalva and to have a fistulous communication to the lung.
		We diagnosed the patient as having aortic regurgitation with a mycotic aneurysm of the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva due to infectious endocarditis.

	Aneurysm Summary
		A common form of cerebral aneurysm is a berry aneurysm, so-called because of its shape.
		Cerebral aneurysms can be caused by brain trauma, infection, hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), or cancer, but most seem to arise from a congenital, or developmental, defect.
		One common form of thoracic aortic aneurysm involves widening of the proximal aorta and the aortic root, which leads to aortic insufficiency.

	Sinus - Treat Sinus Naturally
		Sinus infections are caused by inflammation and blockage of the sinus cavities.
		Because sinus infections are common and chronic for many individuals, preventative measures are often used to avoid the discomfort and pain usually associated with a sinus infection.
		If you suspect that your sinus inflammation may be related to dust, mold, pollen, or food—or any of the hundreds of allergens that can trigger an upper respiratory reaction—you should consult your doctor.

		A patient with massive tracheal necrosis due to compression by an aneurysm of the innominate artery, associated with a grade IV chagasic megaesophagus and chronic duodenal ulcer, was successfully treated by aneurysmectomy, removal of the necrotic tracheal rings and peritracheal abscess, followed by cricotracheal anastomosis.
		This might suggest that the ratio of infrarenal suprarenal diameter is an important determinant of abdominal aortic aneurysm stability or rupture, although suprarenal diameters are not reproducible by ultrasonography.
		In addition to the aortic aneurysm repair indication, INO 1001 is under evaluation in Phase 2 clinical trials as a drug to protect the heart during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery as well as angioplasty procedures after myocardial infarction.

	Summary: Rupture of a Surgically Repaired Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm
		Congenital aneurysms of aortic sinuses of Valsalva are uncommon anomalies caused by congenital defects in a region between aortic media and aortic fibrous ring.
		Here reported is a 50-year-old patient who underwent surgical repair of a right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, and one month later presented with complaints of shortness of breath, orthopnoea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea, and chest pain.
		These investigations demonstrated rupture of the previously repaired right sinus of Valsalva resulting in formation of a fistula between aorta and right atrium with a left to right shunt.

		Management of an aneurysm depends on the size of the aneurysm, its rate of expansion, the presence of other forms of heart disease, and the gender and age of the patient.
		The ACC/AHA recommended that aneurysms between 4 and 5.4 centimeters be monitored yearly by ultrasound or CT scanning, while aneurysms between 3 and 4 centimeters should be monitored by ultrasound every two to three years.
		The success rate of using stent-grafts to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms has risen to 90 percent, although the long–term safety of these devices is still unknown, and in recent years, several abdominal aortic aneurysm stent grafts were removed from the market.
