The article discusses the use of an angioscopic view of a three-dimensional (3D) computed tomographic angiography (CTA) to detect an aneurysm arising from the left sinus of Valsalva in a man who presented with exertional chest pain and a mediastinal mass. It mentions the CTA angioscopic image's confirmation that the aneurysm did not involve the aortic valve or the left coronary ostium. The role of CTA angioscopic images in surgical planning for complex aortic root pathology is cited.
