title: [Aneurysm of Valsalva's sinus, apropos of 7 surgical cases[].
abstract: The authors describe 7 cases of rupture of the Valsalva sinus. Until rupture the aneurysm is silent. Aortic insufficiency and left to right shunt are major components of this syndrome. Surgical treatment under extra-corporal circulation needs aortotomy and an approach of the ruptured extremity to close the defect and maintaining the integrity of the valvular structures.
