Left ventricular aneurysms are primarily caused by coronary artery disease. Among them, there are also less common types, such as those located in the subvalvular regions of idiopathic origin. This article describes the case of a patient with a history of aortic subvalvular and Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm repairs who developed a new mitral subvalvular aneurysm.

Within the top-row images, the mitral subvalvular aneurysm is evident, located near the lateral wall of the left ventricle, with and without color Doppler. The lower-row images exhibit a device adjacent to the Sinuses of Valsalva and severe aortic reflux.
