Table 1: Classification of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms proposed by Sakakibara and Konno. |
|
|
Type I |
Connects the right sinus of Valsalva and the right ventricular outflow tract below the pulmonary valve |
|
Type II |
Connects the right sinus of Valsalva and the right ventricle at the crista supraventricularis |
|
Type III |
|
|
IIIa |
Connects the right sinus of Valsalva and the right atrium |
|
IIIv |
Connects the posterior area of the right sinus of Valsalva and the right ventricle |
|
IIIa+v |
Connects the right sinus of Valsalva to both the right atrium and the right ventricle |
|
Type IV |
Connects the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva and the right atrium |
