title: Patch Repair of an Isolated Right Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm.
abstract: Isolated aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is an uncommon problem. It is more likely to occur in the noncoronary or right coronary sinus. Most case reports and series we found in the literature showed that the diagnosis is usually accidental, and surgical repair provides a long-lasting resolution. In this report we present a case of an aneurysm of the right coronary sinus and its management.
