Congenital sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly with an incidence ranging from 0.1% to 3.5% of all congenital heart disease. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm involving more than one sinus of Valsalva is very rare and dangerous. Valve-sparing root replacement is a safe and effective procedure that preserves growth potential for the aortic valve and has some benefits compared with valve replacement. There are limited data on valve-sparing operations in neonates and young children. In this case report, we present the surgical correction of an isolated, unruptured, multiple SVA in a 1.4-year-old child using the Yacoub II valve-sparing procedure.
