High-Resolution CT–Based Virtual Simulation of an Unruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm for Aortic Root Reimplantation: A Case Report

Key Points

• To explore the application of high-resolution CT data in facilitating valve-sparing aortic root replacement for an unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
• Utilized high-resolution CT data for 3D computer graphics visualization.
• Measured aortic root geometry for surgical planning.
• Applied findings to a valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedure.
• Successful visualization of aortic root geometry enabled precise surgical planning.
• Facilitated a valve-sparing aortic root replacement in a patient with disproportionate SVA.
