Aneurysmal coronary sinus associated with severe valvular heart disease.
We report a case of aneurysmal coronary sinus complicating severe valvular disease with severe tricuspid regurgitation. Injection in the left superior vena cava outlines the aneurysmal coronary sinus with stasis of the contrast. As this anomaly carries special surgical implication in patients requiring open heart surgery, a correct preoperative diagnosis is mandatory.
