Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare
cardiac defect that can be congenital or acquired
through infection, trauma, or degenerative diseases.
A 79-year-old man was diagnosed with upper jaw
cancer and in preoperative transthoracic echocardiography
and computed tomography was found
to have an unruptured right SVA causing right
ventricular outflow obstruction. Under general
anesthesia, surgical repair was performed after
instituting cardiopulmonary bypass. We successfully
performed the anesthetic management of the
SVA surgical repair using transesophageal
echocardiography.
