RESUMEN
Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rare. We report a case of extra-cardiac unruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva with moderate aortic regurgitation (AR). A 57-year-old woman was referred to our institution because of AR. Echocardiography showed moderate AR and computed tomographic scanning demonstrated an extra-cardiac aneurysm of the unruptured sinus of Valsalva, which extended from the right sinus of Valsalva to the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva. She underwent aortic root reimplantation procedure with a Valsalva graft. Although mild AR was observed postoperatively, her postoperative course was uneventful.
