Giant unruptured noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
Huge unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms is rarely observed. We report a 32-year-old woman presenting with exertional dyspnea in which a giant unruptured noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was detected after echocardiography. The aneurysm was surgically repaired and the aortic and mitral valves were replaced.
