Sinus of Valsalva Thrombosis Causing Renal Infarction

Abstract

A 72-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a renal infarction. On admission, computed tomography (CT)

Sinus of Valsalva Thrombosis Detected on Computed Tomography after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

“…or arterial thromboembolism in the lower legs, as well as ischemic stroke. [26][27][28][29] Even though there were only 3 cases of silent embolic stroke detected on brain MRI in these studies, sinus of Valsalva thrombosis in post-TAVR patients also have potential for coronary arterial occlusion and cerebral or peripheral arterial embolization. As such, assessing potential sinus of Valsalva thrombosis should be an essential component of post-TAVR CT scans.…”

Ruptured Aneurysm of the Sinus of Valsalva Causing Pulmonary Embolism: A Rare Association

“…Embolic events associated with unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are extremely rare. 11 A review of the literature revealed six cases of unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms presenting with embolization (four cases with cerebral embolism, one with peripheral arterial emboli, 7 and one with renal infarction 6 ). We found no reports of embolism in patients with ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms before surgery.…”

“…Sinus of Valsalva's aneurysms has been reported as the presumed source of embolism in only six cases. 2 3 4 5 6 7 Herein, we report a patient with the rupture of the right sinus of Valsalva into the right atrium and concurrent pulmonary thromboembolism.…”

Sinus of Valsalva thrombosis (clinical observation)

“…Fuster V. et al (2002) предположили, что тромбоз синуса Вальсальвы при стабильных неэрозированных бляшках аорты может зависеть от гипертромбогенного состояния крови, обусловленного повышенным уровнем липопротеинов низкой плотности, табакокурением, гипергликемией и рядом других условий, связанных с увеличением тромбогенного потенциала крови [9]. В работе Nakata et al (2006) описано утолщение створок аортального клапана с небольшим градиентом давления. Эти изменения могут вызвать турбулентный поток в синусе Вальсальвы, что приводит к повреждению эндотелия стенки аорты.…”
