  Figure 1 (A) Transesophageal echocardiography revealed that the outpouching structure with mural thrombus arose from the left coronary sinus of Valsalva. (A and B) Distal to the right coronary ostium, the aorta formed another 2 outpouching structures. (C and D) CT revealed another outpouching structure at descending aorta. (E and F) Cardiac multi-detector CT revealed that the left coronary ostium was originated from the aneurismal wall. CT = computed tomography; LCC = left coronary cusp; LM = left main artery; NCC = non-coronary cusp; RCC = right coronary cusp. *Aneurysm.
