A surgically challenging case of an unruptured Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SoVA) with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) due to cusp prolapse is presented. Sinus reconstruction with a patch cut out from the sinus portion of a Gelweave Valsalva graft (Terumo Vascutek) was performed. Intraoperative measurements showed insufficient effective height of the right coronary cusp; therefore, cusp plication and pericardial patch augmentation of the right coronary cusp were performed with satisfying result.
