“…However, there are case reports of large unruptured SVAs leading to symptoms from RV outflow tract obstruction, right atrial displacement, ventricular tachycardia, heart block, coronary compression, mitral valve obstruction, or thromboembolism. 52,[57][58][59] Most patients with a ruptured SVA are usually symptomatic, although physiology and symptom severity depend on orifice size, rapidity of rupture development, and the chambers involved. Rupture occurs more commonly in right SVAs (60%) than either noncoronary SVAs (42%) or left SVAs (10%).…”

Unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SVAs) are rare cardiac lesions that arise due to congenital or acquired etiologies. They could be asymptomatic or cause various clinical manifestations as a consequence of their mass effect on the coronary arteries, heart valves, and other adjacent structures. While the factors predicting SVA rupture are not fully understood, ruptured SVAs carry a high complication and mortality rate, highlighting the need for early recognition and management of unruptured SVAs. Imaging modalities such as echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are essential in identifying and characterizing the aneurysm as well as associated cardiac anomalies. However, there are no specific guidelines for the diagnosis and management of SVAs. Herein, we performed a contemporary systematic review to examine the presentation, diagnostic tests and findings, as well as outcomes for surgical intervention of unruptured SVAs. We demonstrate that surgical repair remains the preferred method of treatment in order to prevent complications such as rupture or thrombus formation.Surgery should be prompted in patients with symptomatic, large, or rapidly expanding unruptured SVAs, as well as those unruptured SVAs that contain intraluminal thrombi, have a mass effect on surrounding structures, or are recurrent. Surgical outcomes are generally good with favourable prognosis and minimal recurrence.
