Description
Summary:	We report here on a case of a 34-year-old man with unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva, and hepresented with acute coronary syndrome due to the putative dynamic compression of both the left main coronaryartery and the left circumflex coronary artery. The cardiac multislice computed tomography scanning andcoronary angiogram revealed the compression of the two coronary arteries by the aneurysm of the left sinus ofValsalva. Aneurysmectomy was performed for surgical repair. After the surgery, the patient stayed asymptomaticduring the 6-months of follow-up. (Korean Circulation J 2006;36:549-552) KCI Citation Count: 0
