Abstract

We report a case of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm associated with a single coronary artery, incidentally detected in a 73-year-old woman. Imaging revealed a Lipton type L2-A single coronary artery and a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The patient underwent successful Bentall surgery with careful coronary reimplantation and combined antegrade-retrograde myocardial protection. This case highlights surgical considerations in managing this uncommon combination of anomalies.
