Typical windsock appearance, pointing towards the right ventricle underneath the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. No evidence of left to right shunt. Mitral valve normal, no mitral regurgitation. Aortic valve showed mild degree of regurgitation. Aortic root not dilated.
Tricuspid valve looks normal.
I have been told this is rare and few have experience with same. Dear Jerry, thank you for your question. You are correct that a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare condition, but fortunately we have a number of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons here at Cleveland Clinic who are experienced with this disorder. There are no specific data indicating the risk of rupture for a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm nor what the success rates of repair of the aneurysm vs. aortic valve replacement are. It appears in your case that the aortic valve may be involved since you have a mild amount of aortic valve regurgitation.
