Fig 1 Screen shots of (A) composite color Doppler transesophageal echocardiographic aortic root short-axis and (B) 4-chamber views demonstrating the ruptured right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) with left-to-right flow into the right ventricle (RV) (see Video 1).

Fig 2 (A) Intraoperative photograph of initial view of aortic root after mobilization of coronary buttons. The right button is at the bottom of the photograph. The dysmorphic, highly asymmetrical aortic valve leaflets are observed. The left/non commissure is multi-fenestrated. The sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) sac is prolapsing into the aortic root adjacent to the right coronary leaflet. (B) A forceps traverses the ruptured SVA into the RV. (C) The aneurysm sac viewed from the right atrium showing close involvement with the tricuspid valve annulus and leaflet tissue. (D) Right ventricle fistula repaired with a polyester patch.

Fig 3 (A) Intraoperative photograph depicting the initiation of the fusion of the left coronary leaflet and the diminutive noncoronary leaflet beginning with a CV6 Gore-Tex suture at the free margin. (B) The suture ends have been tied repeatedly and then brought through the commissural apex aortic wall to create a supporting aortic valve neochord. (C) Reconstructed aortic valve reimplanted into the root graft. (D) Static saline column testing demonstrating aortic valve competence.
