Planned right ventriculotomy enables valve-sparing root replacement for complex 5-cm aortic root aneurysms.
Presents a surgical approach for managing a right sinking sinus anatomy during valve-sparing aortic root replacement.
May facilitate valve preservation in sinking sinus anatomy; leaves open generalizability beyond this single case.
We present a case of an otherwise healthy young male with a 5.0 cm aortic root aneurysm complicated by a thin "sinking" right sinus of Valsalva who underwent a valve-sparing aortic root replacement with a planned right ventriculotomy.
