Sinus Valsalva Aneurysm of the non-coronary cusp initially diagnosed as right ventricular thrombus: A case report

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are abnormal bulges of the aortic root caused by a tissue deficiency resulting in an enlargement of the aortic root in the area between the aortic annulus and the sinotubular junction. Frequently, sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are asymptomatic. However, sinus of Valsalva an...
