巨大Valsalva洞動脈瘤の1例

Giant Aneurysm of Sinus of Valsalva；Report of a Case

はじめに　Valsalva洞動脈瘤の発生頻度は剖検例の0.09％とまれである．われわれは，瘤径75 mmの巨大Valsalva洞動脈瘤の1例を経験したので，文献的考察を加えて報告する．

Aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is a relatively rare disease. The patient was a 59-year-old female with a complaint of dyspnea. A very large extra-cardiac type aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva, 75 mm in diameter, was detected, and modified-Bentall operation （J-graft Valsalva 26 mm：Carpentier-Edwards Magna Ease 23 mm） was performed. The patient recovered uneventfully after the operation and was discharged on the 17th postoperative day.
