Abstract
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are unusual, particularly when located on the left coronary sinus. They are mainly asymptomatic, however once ruptured, they are associated with high mortality. We present hereinafter an atypical case of a 71-year-old patient with an unruptured left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm causing myocardial ischaemia due to a compressed left main coronary artery. Surgical endoaneurysmorrhaphy was performed; however, a dehiscence of the suture line between the patch and the aortic wall required additional percutaneous implantation of a vascular occluder.
