Case 215 Unruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm
Michael C. Fishbein, MD*, Robert Obma, MD† and William C. Roberts, MD, FACC
Bethesda, Maryland
La Crosse, Wisconsin
An unruptured congenital sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (behind the right aortic valve cusp) is described as an incidental necropsy nding in an 82year old man. Review of previous reports on aneurysms involving only one of the three aortic sinuses discloses that few cases have been described, and that these lesions are rarely diagnosed during life. It is probable, however, that unruptured aortic sinus aneurysm (involving only one sinus) is more common than previous reports indicate, but that, among patients with congenital sinus aneurysm, rupture is likely to occur.
One of the consequences of aging is dilatation of the aorta. The dilatation gener­ally affects the ascending portion more than the descending portion, presumably because more elastic bers are present in the proximal aorta. Included in the ascend­ing aorta are the sinuses of Valsalva, that is, that portion of the aorta immediately behind the aortic valve cusps. Thus, with aging each of the three aortic sinuses dilates, and each sinus is affected more or less to a similar degree. This “senile-type dilatation” appears to be more pronounced in hypertensive than in normotensive persons, and tends to occur earlier in life in the hypertensive individual.
In addition to aging, there are at least three other causes of dilatation of all three aortic sinuses: (1) syphilis, ankylosing spondylitis. severe aortic regurgitation, each of the three sinuses may be dilated in the absence of aortic regurgitation. A congenital type of dilatation of all three aortic sinuses unassociated with other congenital anomalies of the heart or great vessels has been recorded,
5
but its occurrence, if indeed of congenital origin, must be unique.
In contrast to the common occurrence of dilatation of all three aortic sinuses, aneurysmal dilatation of only one or two of the three sinuses is unusual. The most common cause is probably infectious endocarditis with spread of the infective pro­cess into adjacent structures and formation of one or more ring abscesses. always when this occurs one or more aortic valve cusps are severely damaged by the infective process so that severe aortic regurgitation results.
Aneurysmal dilatation of only one aortic sinus unassociated with infectious endocarditis is extremely rare. Generally, in this circumstance the localized aneu­rysmal dilatation is attributed to a congenital absence of media in the wall of the

aorta behind a sinus of Valsalva.7 The sinus aneurysm may rupture, and several reports have described clinical consequences of the rupture and surgical procedures for correcting it.
8–12
Surprisingly, few patients with an unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm have been described (Table 1). This report describes another patient with a large but unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, reviews previous reports of unruptured congenital aortic sinus aneurysms and poses certain questions, still unanswered, about this entity.
CASE REPORT
An 82year old retired farmer, who was known to have systemic hypertension and cardiomegaly (on chest roentgenogram) since about age 65, had the onset of typical angina pectoris at age 70years. At age 71years he had an acute myocardial infarc­tion. The frequency of angina pectoris decreased progressively thereafter and by age 73years it had disappeared entirely; the blood pressure, however, remained elevated (180/105mm Hg), exertional and nocturnal dyspnea appeared and the P-R interval widened to more than 0.20 second. By age 74years, the blood pres­sure had decreased to 90/60mm Hg and antihypertensive therapy with reserpine, given for 2years, was discontinued. At age 76years atrial brillation developed and digitalis therapy was begun. Chest roentgenograms revealed a larger heart than that previously recorded. At age 79years, pedal edema appeared; the blood pressure was 110/60mm Hg, and a grade 2/6 apical blowing systolic murmur and a third heart sound were audible. In retrospect this murmur was probably due to tricuspid regurgitation, caused by pulmonary hypertension secondary to an embolus. No precordial murmur had been heard previously on repeated exami­nations, and 2 weeks later no precordial murmur was present. The lung elds were clear but there was marked subcutaneous pitting edema of the legs and scrotum. Chest roentgenograms revealed an even larger heart than that recorded at age 76years.
At age 80years the patient had a cerebrovascular accident with residual right hemiparesis. The blood pressure was 130/90mm Hg and the edema was still severe. In addition, a nodule that proved to be an adenocarcinoma was palpated in the pros­tate gland, and extensive distant metastases were found. He died suddenly several months later in a nursing home.
At necropsy, the formalin-xed heart weighed 600 g. The sinus of Valsalva behind the right coronary (right anterior) aortic valve cusp was aneurysmally dilated (Figures 1 to 4). It protruded into the crista supraventricularis muscle of the right ventricular outow tract. The right sinus was 2.5cm deep and held 15 ml of uid; the left coronary (left anterior) and posterior (noncoronary) sinuses were each 1.5cm deep and each held only 5 ml of uid. All four cardiac chambers were dilated. The atrial walls contained focal endocardial waxy deposits that proved to be amyloid. The left ventricular wall, which measured up to 1.9cm in thickness, was rm and rubbery, and a transmural posterobasal scar was present. The lumen of the right coronary artery was more than 75percent narrowed by atherosclerotic plaques.
Histologic sections revealed that the wall of the aortic sinus aneurysm consisted of endothelium covering a thin layer of connective tissue beneath which was myocar­dium (Figure 4). There was no aortic media within the aneurysmal wall. In addition to the posterobasal scar, the walls of all four cardiac chambers were inltrated by small amounts of amyloid.
COMMENTS Pathogenesis: The basic defect in patients with aneurysms involving only one or
two of the three aortic valve sinuses is an absence of a portion or all of the media in

Thus, when a single sinus aneurysm occurs the sinus wall is defective, but the sinus wall may be defective without the occurrence of an aneurysm. When a deciency of aor­tic media occurs, the wall involved most commonly (about 70percent of cases that behind the right coronary (right anterior) cusp; occasionally (about 29percent of

) it is the portion behind the noncoronary (posterior) cusp and virtually never
cases (less than 1percent of cases
15
) that portion behind the left coronary (left anterior)

) is
cusp. The explanation for these differences is uncertain.
Whether or not a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is ever present from birth is uncer­tain; most likely the aneurysm is acquired, presumably the result of the aortic pres­sure. The higher the aortic pressure (for example, in patients with coarctation of the aortic isthmus) the more likely is an aortic sinus aneurysm to develop. The youngest child described with isolated sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was 4years old.
16
Although the aneurysm itself may or may not be “congenital,” the deciency in aortic media behind the sinus must be congenital.
Incidence of rupture: Both the natural history and the frequency of media-
decient aortic sinus wall are uncertain.
17
The number of persons with a media­decient aortic sinus wall in whom a sinus aneurysm developed is uncertain, as is the frequency of rupture of a developed sinus aneurysm. Among 78 cases of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm collected from previous publications by Kieffer and Winchell,
18
59 (76 percent) had ruptured and 19 (24percent) had not. In some of the cases included by these authors, however, the aneurysms involved all three sinuses and therefore were probably associated with the Marfan syndrome. Among seven hearts with aneurysm of one aortic sinus studied at necropsy by Edwards and Burchell,
7
four aneurysms had ruptured and three had not. Of ve single (one
of three sinuses involved) aortic sinus aneurysms studied at necropsy by us, four

If no aneurysm occurs, the congenital defect will go unnoticed. If an aneurysm does occur it may or may not rupture. Rupture will virtually always produce clinical symptoms and signs of cardiac dysfunction. If rupture does not occur, symptoms will usually be present only if there is right ventricular outow obstruction or conduction disturbances.
