Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are rare cardiac anomalies and more common in Eastern than in Western populations, surgery is the most common option of treatment for ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSVA) To examine demographic information, clinical presentation, results, and long-term effects of surgically repairing sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA), a retrospective study was conducted.


METHODS: We looked back at the data of 26 individuals who had their ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm treated between May 2007 and December 2018 and overview of the literature on RSVA instances that have been reported in PubMed.
RESULTS: Following the original repair, there was no mortality. At five years, the actuarial survival rate was 92.3%.
