“…For example, a single coronary artery was discovered at operation when coronary angiography was not performed. 7 Although aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva may be detected by echocardiography, in subjects in whom high quality recordings are obtainable, this case report shows the clinical importance of defining any associated congenital anomalies. Unless such concomitant lesions can be defined by echocardiography, it may be necessary to undertake angiography in patients with ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva.…”

“…6,7) A single coronary artery accompanied by congenital heart disease has been reported. 12) However, to our knowledge, there are only four reported cases of patients with a ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva's sinus accompanied by a single coronary artery [13][14][15][16] and no cases of a sinus of Valsalva fistula without aneurysm accompanied by a single coronary artery have been reported in the literature.…”

SUMMARYFew previous reports have described a sinus of Valsalva fistula without an aneurysm in Japanese patients. A single origin of the coronary arteries is a rare coronary anomaly. We describe a 75-year-old woman with a single origin of the coronary arteries and a sinus of Valsalva fistula without a typical aneurysm. Echocardiography showed turbulent flow from the right coronary sinus of Valsalva to the right ventricle throughout the cardiac cycle. Aortography confirmed the presence of a right coronary sinus of Valsalva-right ventricle shunt jet. Echocardiography and aortography demonstrated that there was no deformity of the sinus of Valsalva. Cardiac catheterization revealed that the left-to-right shunt rate was 29% and the Qp/Qs was 1.41. Aortography and coronary angiography did not identify a right coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva. Coronary angiography revealed that the right coronary artery arose from the proximal part of the left anterior descending artery and did not detect significant organic stenosis of the coronary artery. She was diagnosed as having a sinus of Valsalva to right ventricle fistula without an aneurysm, and a single origin of the coronary arteries.

“…In 1989, Chamsi-Pasha et al first described a case of RSVA that coexisted with a single coronary artery, 6 and in that same year, Goto et al reported another case. 7 In 1991, Dazai et al described a case of an infective aneurysm of Valsalva complicated by a left single coronary artery, 8 and the year before, Cabrera et al had reported a case of a newborn infant with an aneurysm of the atrial appendage, ascending aorta and sinus of Valsalva associated to VSD, fibromuscular subaortic stenosis and a single coronary artery.…”

A 26-year-old man had been diagnosed with a cardiac murmur from birth. In 1998, he was admitted to hospital because of slight fatigue. A grade 5/6 continuous murmur was audible near the right sternal border at the second intercostal space. Doppler echocardiography detected an abnormal flow that suggested that an aneurysm of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva had ruptured into the right ventricular inflow tract. Blood tests showed a 19% step-up in oxygen saturation value between the right atrium and right ventricle, indicating a ventricular septal defect with left to right shunt. Coronary angiography revealed a single coronary artery. Surgical repair was carried out and the patient made an uneventful recovery. This rare combination of a ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva coexisting with a ventricular septal defect and a single coronary artery has not been reported previously.

Ruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva co-existing with a single coronary artery

Abstract: The clinical and surgical findings in a 41-year-old male with the unusual co-existence of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and a single coronary artery are described. The literature is reviewed and the significance of a single coronary artery discussed.
