[Non-ruptured calcified aneurysm of the Valsalva's sinus with angina pectoris and aortic insufficiency. Surgical treatment].
We report a case of aneurysm of the straight frontal, and not coronary, aortic sinus, non ruptured and calcified, responsible for a refractory angina pectoris and a massive aortic failure in a 71 year old woman. The surgical treatment consisted in the exclusion of the aneurysm of the aortic sinus by a tubular prosthesis in which only two thirds of the circumference have been used, associated with the replacement of an aortic valve by a bioprosthesis, without associated coronary by-pass.
