A giant aneurysm of the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva.
A 54-year-old woman complained of shortness of breath. She was diagnosed to have an aneurysm of the non-coronary sinus and underwent a radical operation. The aneurysm had a diameter of 10 cm. Superior vena cava, right atrium, and right ventricle were severely compressed and deformed. The non-coronary sinus and ascending aorta were reconstructed with a 24 mm Dacron graft using the graft inclusion technique. The ostiums of both coronary arteries were skirted. The postoperative course was uneventful.
