Abstract
The sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly. It can develop into the heart failure if it ruptures, which requires early intervention. However, such congenital anomalies are usually treated using a median sternotomy approach. Here, we report a rare case of SVA combined with a ventricular septal defect in which the patient underwent patch repair of the defects under a total thoracoscopy approach. She was discharged uneventfully and showed no residual shunt or aortic regurgitation postoperatively or at the 12-month follow-up. The total thoracoscopic approach for SVA repair is technically feasible.

Abstract
Background Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a cause of hemodynamic instability that can occur in several situations, including cardiac surgery, lung transplantation, and thoracic surgery, and in critically ill patients. The timely diagnosis of RVOTO is important because it requires specific considerations, including the adverse effects of positive inotropes, and depending on the etiology, the requirement for urgent surgical intervention. Methods The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the prevalence of RVOTO in adult patients, and the distribution of all reported cases by etiology. Results Of 233 available reports, there were 229 case reports or series, and 4 retrospective cohort studies, with one study also reporting a prospective cohort. Of 291 reported cases of RVOTO, 61 (21%) were congenital, 56 (19%) were iatrogenic, and 174 (60%) were neither congenital nor iatrogenic (including intracardiac tumour). The mechanism of RVOTO was an intrinsic obstruction in 169 cases (58%), and an extrinsic obstruction in 122 cases (42%). A mechanical obstruction causing RVOTO was present in 262 cases (90%), and 29 cases of dynamic RVOTO (10%) were reported. In the 5 included cohorts, with a total of 1122 patients, the overall prevalence was estimated to be 4.0% (1%-9%). Conclusions RVOTO, though rare, remains clinically important, and therefore, multicentre studies are warranted to better understand the prevalence, causes, and consequences of RVOTO.

Abstract
The sinuses of Valsalva are outpouchings in the aortic root just distal to the aortic valve that serve several physiologic functions. Aneurysm of this segment of the aorta is quite rare and infrequently encountered in clinical practice. Due to the rarity of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms, there is a lack of controlled trials and most of the literature consists of case reports and series. Here, the authors review the currently available literature to discuss the anatomy and normal function of the aortic root, as well as disease pathology and diagnostic imaging considerations. Using reported cases, the authors also will discuss considerations for cardiac anesthesiologists in the perioperative period.
