Objective  To present early follow-up results of surgical closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSVA). Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 32 patients with RSVA or combined with RSVA in our hospital between January 2010 and December 2014. There were 20 males, 12 females aged 37.6±11.2 years. All the patients were surgically corrected under cardiopulmonary bypass. Results  The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 79±18 min and the mean aortic cross-clamp time was 53±9 min. Except that 1 patient had the first degree A-V block and 2 patients with delayed wound healing, there was no other complication in the early postoperative period. One patient with surgically corrected RSVA was with infective endocarditis after 3 months follow-up. Most patients were with better New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classⅠor Ⅱat the end of the follow-up. Conclusion  Surgical closure of RSVA is a safe and effective alternative to surgery with early follow-up results.
