Description
Summary:An asymptomatic 50-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed with an aortic subannular left ventricular aneurysm during a routine physical checkup. Operative findings showed the subaortic aneurysm had developed beneath the noncoronary cusp of the aortic valve and expanded into the epicardium between the aortic root and left atrium. The operation involved patch closure of the orifice of the annular subaortic aneurysm, aortic valvuloplasty, and plication of the dilated ascending aorta.
