Abstract
A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm arising from the left coronary cusp and rupturing into the superior vena cava is extremely rare. We performed patch closure of such an aneurysm in a 23-year-old female who presented with syncopal attacks, exertional dyspnea, and chest pain. Recent advances in diagnostic techniques facilitated the planning of treatment. The complexity of the anatomical course precluded a catheter-based intervention. Surgical closure remains the treatment of choice in complex cases.
